How to get type of an Asset? #728

Open Schizo opened 5 years ago

Schizo commented 5 years ago

How do i figure out what type an asset is?

import unreal_engine as ue
myasset = ue.get_asset('/Game/Framework/Hands/Model/HandAnimBP')

I only found the is_a method, but when doing from unreal_engine.classes import AnimBlueprint and checking for it, it returns False.

Any help appreciated.

/Game/Framework/Hands/Model/HandAnimBP is a package path. So you will get a Package instead of a Blueprint.

To get the actual blueprint path, you need to right click on the asset in the content browser and then click Copy Reference. You may find that the actual path is something like /path/to/blueprint/HandAnimBP.HandAnimBP.

BTW, get_asset is an editor-only method and will not be shipped in Shipping Build. You may need to use load_class instead.
