The problem:
I am trying to make a custom curve asset type in Unreal Engine and add it to the menu so that users can create the curve asset. My asset is called RecoilPattern, which inherits from UCurveFloat. The asset displays fine when I Right click in content browser and go to miscellaneous section. The problem is, when I go to the original Curve asset and create a Float Curve it is creating a Recoil Pattern.
How can I fix this?
For reference, here is my code:
RecoilPatternModule.h:
#pragma once
#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "Modules/ModuleManager.h"
#include "RecoilPatternActions.h"

};

#include "RecoilPatternModule.h"

FAssetToolsModule::GetModule().Get().RegisterAssetTypeActions(RecoilPatternAssetTypeActions.ToSharedRef());
}
void FRecoilPatternModule::ShutdownModule()
{
if (!FModuleManager::Get().IsModuleLoaded("AssetTools")) return;
FAssetToolsModule::GetModule().Get().UnregisterAssetTypeActions(RecoilPatternAssetTypeActions.ToSharedRef());
}
