Helpers

AsyncLoad Toolkit includes convenience functions that combine loading with a common follow-up action, handling the weak-pointer safety automatically.

Spawn Actor Async

Load an Actor class from a soft class reference and spawn it when ready.

Category: AsyncKit | Spawn

Pin	Type	Description
World Context Object	UObject*	Auto-filled
Actor Class	TSoftClassPtr<AActor>	Soft reference to the actor class
Transform	FTransform	Spawn location / rotation / scale
On Spawned	FAsyncKitLoadedSingle	Receives the spawned AActor* cast to UObject*
On Failed	FAsyncKitFailed	Fires if loading or spawning fails
Params	FAsyncKitLoadParams	Options
Return	UAsyncKitHandle*	Handle

Spawn Actor Async
  Actor Class ──▶ MyEnemySoftClass
  Transform   ──▶ Spawn Point Transform
  On Spawned  ──▶ [Create Event] → Cast to MyEnemy → Initialize

note

If the world is destroyed or invalid by the time loading completes (e.g., during a level transition), the spawn is skipped silently.

Set Static Mesh Async

Load a StaticMesh from a soft reference and assign it to a UStaticMeshComponent when ready.

Category: AsyncKit | Apply

Pin	Type	Description
Component	UStaticMeshComponent*	Target component
Mesh	TSoftObjectPtr<UStaticMesh>	Soft reference to the mesh
On Failed	FAsyncKitFailed	Fires on load failure
Params	FAsyncKitLoadParams	Options
Return	UAsyncKitHandle*	Handle

If the component's owner is destroyed before loading completes, the assignment is silently skipped (weak pointer check).

Set Static Mesh Async
  Component ──▶ My Mesh Component
  Mesh      ──▶ My Soft Mesh Ref

Typical use: for-each loop over a list of actors, asynchronously assigning a different mesh to each one without blocking the game thread.

Set Material Async

Load a MaterialInterface from a soft reference and assign it to a component slot when ready.

Category: AsyncKit | Apply

Pin	Type	Description
Component	UPrimitiveComponent*	Target component (any primitive)
Element Index	int32	Material slot index
Material	TSoftObjectPtr<UMaterialInterface>	Soft reference to the material
On Failed	FAsyncKitFailed	Fires on load failure
Params	FAsyncKitLoadParams	Options
Return	UAsyncKitHandle*	Handle

Query functions

These pure functions check the in-memory state without triggering any load:

Function	Returns	Description
Is Asset Loaded	bool	True if the asset is currently in memory
Get If Loaded	UObject*	The object if in memory, null otherwise
Are All Loaded	bool	True if every asset in the array is in memory

---

Debug functions

Function	Returns	Description
Get Active Request Count	int32	Number of requests currently in flight
Get In Flight Assets	TArray<FString>	Debug labels for all in-flight requests

Use these with a Print String in a tick event to monitor load activity, or connect them to an on-screen debug widget.

You can also toggle the in-game overlay from the console:

AsyncLoadToolkit.Debug 1    ← show overlay
AsyncLoadToolkit.Debug 0    ← hide overlay
AsyncLoadToolkit.DumpRetained
