ue5_catch_asset_load

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overview
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Below is a modified version of the vanilla UE5 function FLinkerLoad::CreateExportAndPreload which
// allows you to set a breakpoint which catches the loading of a specific asset (in this case "MyAsset").
//
// NOTE: Lines which have been added to the vanilla version of this method are tagged as "// << New"
//
// NOTE: Here we also force bForcePreload to true when encountering the asset, which causes the PreLoad
//       function to be called immediately and synchronously (which is handy if you next want to debug 
//       serialisation logic for the asset without having to catch this on a separate thread).
//
// NOTE: If you want to catch the asset loading even earlier, add the following code to the top of
//       LoadPackageInternal inside UObjectGlobals.cpp
//       
//       if (PackagePath.GetLocalFullPath().Contains("MyAsset"))
//       {
//           UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Set Breakpoint Here"));
//       }
//
