UBlackboardComponent::HasValidAsset

function AIModule Since 4.0

#include "BehaviorTree/BlackboardComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: inlineconst

Description

Returns true if the component currently has a valid, initialized blackboard data asset assigned.

• Check this before calling key lookups on a freshly spawned component — GetKeyID/GetKeyName silently return invalid results if no asset is set yet.
• Becomes true only after InitializeBlackboard succeeds or InitializeComponent runs with a DefaultBlackboardAsset configured.

}
