UAssetManager::GetPrimaryAssetRules

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Returns the effective management rules for a primary asset, merging any per-asset override on top of its type's default rules.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The returned struct is always the merged result — there's no way to see the type-level and per-asset override values separately from this call alone.
• Reflects rules as of the current scan; changes made via SetPrimaryAssetRules or SetPrimaryAssetTypeRules after the fact are picked up immediately since this recomputes on every call.
