Troubleshooting & FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions#

What happens if I request an asset that is already loaded?#

SmartRefs detects that the asset is already resident in RAM and immediately fires the On Loaded execution pin without waiting.

Can I cancel an in-progress load?#

Yes! Call Cancel Smart Ref Load to discard pending background streaming tasks if the player navigates away.

Common Solutions#

Asset fails to load or returns null#

• Cause: The soft reference was empty or the asset was deleted/moved in the project.
• Fix: Check the On Failed pin on the node to log an error.
