Async Loading UPROPERTY TAssetPtr<>

Development Asset Creation

I’ve got a derived version of USoundNode, with an UPROPERTY

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category=WavePlayer, meta=(DisplayName="REV Model Asset"))
TAssetPtr<UREVModelAsset> REVModelAssetPtr;

I’m trying to Async load the asset as soon as possible. However I can’t find a callback into my UObject/USoundObject such that

a) The UProperty is valid and has been ‘injected’

b) Async Loading is allowed: I’ve been bumping into an assert that doesn’t allow me to load.

[2017.10.20-04.24.53:140][  0]LogUObjectGlobals: Warning: Calling StaticLoadObject during PostLoad may result in hitches during streaming.
Assertion failed: RecursionNotAllowed.Increment() == 1 [File:D:\Build\++UE4+Release-4.17+Compile\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\Serialization\AsyncLoading.cpp] [Line: 4244]

I’ve tried

virtual void PostLoad() override; //Asserts
virtual void PostInitProperties();//UProperties are not setup yet.

Does anyone have a magic callback such that its actually time to perform my AsyncLoad operations?

hitches? what’s that like lag?

more like the UI freezes because of a blocking load. But even if I make it load Async, it still A) Asserts B) Prints that warning.

When the hell is it an alright time to load my data? I’ve overridden EVERY callback in UObject and non of them work.
