UAssetManager::GetPrimaryAssetTypeInfo

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Gets metadata for a specific primary asset type, returning false if that type hasn't been registered.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Types are normally registered from the Primary Asset Types Rules list in project settings or via calls to ScanPathsForPrimaryAssets — a typo in the type name is a common cause of this returning false.
• AssetTypeInfo is left unmodified when the type isn't found, so don't assume it's zeroed out on failure.
