Syntax

namespace TakesUtils
{
    template<typename AssetType>
    static bool TakesUtils::CreateNewAssetPackage
    (
        FString & InPackageName,
        AssetType *& OutAsset,
        FText * OutError,
        AssetType * OptionalBase
    )
}

Remarks

Creates a new Package with the given Package Name (ie: /Game/Test/Foo) of the specified AssetType. If a package already exists at that name the package name will have a number appended and iterated on until an unused package name is found. InPackageName will be modified in this case and will return the package name that the asset was actually created at.

You should consider calling MarkPackageDirty() on the returned asset if you further modify it, and you shouldstill notify the FAssetRegistryModule that the asset was created after this by calling FAssetRegistryModule::AssetCreated

Returns

True if the asset was created successfully, false if there was an error.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
InPackageName	The desired package name (path and asset name) for the new asset. May be mutated by this function if that package name is already taken.
OutAsset	The resulting asset if we were able to successfully create an asset.
OutError	Human readable error string to describe what went wrong (if anything). Can be nullptr if you don't care about the error message.
OptionalBase	Optional asset reference to duplicate the new asset from. If nullptr a brand new asset will be created.
