Validating assets in UE?
This tutorial covers the step-by-step process of creating custom validation rules entirely in Blueprints to automate content policing. By the end of this guide, you will know how to prevent broken or non-compliant assets from cluttering your project.
What You'll Learn
• Base Classes: How to set up an Editor Utility Blueprint inheriting from UEditorValidatorBase.
• Rule Filtering: Overriding CanValidateAsset to target specific asset types (e.g., Static Meshes or Textures).
• Validation Logic: Overriding ValidateLoadedAsset to enforce rules like correct naming conventions (e.g., ensuring prefixes like SM_ or BP_), polygon limits, and texture compression settings.
• Execution: Triggering rules manually in the Content Browser or automating them upon saving and cooking.
