UAssetManager::PushBulkScanning

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public

Description

Marks the start of a batch of ScanPathsForPrimaryAssets calls so the AssetManager can defer expensive per-scan bookkeeping until the matching PopBulkScanning. Every call must be paired with a PopBulkScanning.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Every PushBulkScanning() call must be matched by exactly one PopBulkScanning(); mismatched calls leave the manager in bulk-scan mode indefinitely, silently deferring bookkeeping that gameplay code may expect to be up to date.
• Nested calls are allowed (an internal request count is tracked), but only the outermost PopBulkScanning() actually triggers the deferred work.

UAssetManager::Get().ScanPathsForPrimaryAssets(FPrimaryAssetType("Item"), { TEXT("/Game/Items") }, UItemDefinition::StaticClass(), false);
