Asset Class Reference

Replacement implementation for Unity's massive AssetDatabase class with a cleaner interface and more error checking. Asset is instantiable so you can work with assets like you do with UnityEngine.Object. In fact, Asset is essentially a wrapper around the asset's UnityEngine.Object (see: MainObject). More...

Public Member Functions
	Asset (Byte[] contents, Path path, Boolean overwriteExisting=false)
	Creates an asset file from a byte array.
	Asset (GUID assetGuid)
	Loads the asset using its GUID.
	Asset (Object asset)
	Uses an existing asset reference.
	Asset (Object asset, Path path, Boolean overwriteExisting=false)
	Creates an asset file from an existing UnityEngine.Object instance.
	Asset (Path path)
	Loads the asset at path.
	Asset (String contents, Path path, Boolean overwriteExisting=false)
	Creates an asset file from a string.
void	AddLabel (String label)
	Adds a label to the asset.
void	AddLabels (String[] labels)
	Adds several labels to the asset.
void	AddSubAsset (Object instance)
	Adds an object as a sub-object to the asset. The object must not already be an asset.
Boolean	CanMove (Path destinationPath)
	Tests if a Move operation will be successful without actually moving the asset.
Boolean	CanOpenInEditor ()
	Returns true if the asset can be opened (edited) by the Unity Editor itself.
void	ClearLabels ()
	Removes all labels from the asset.
Object	Delete ()
	Deletes the asset file.
Asset	Duplicate ()
	Creates a duplicate of the asset with a new, unique file name.
void	ExportPackage (String packagePath, ExportPackageOptions options=ExportPackageOptions.Default)
	Exports this asset and its dependencies as a .unitypackage.
void	ForceSave ()
	Saves the asset to disk, regardless of whether it is marked as 'dirty'.
T	GetMain< T > ()
	Gets the main object cast to T.
T	Load< T > ()
	Loads a (sub) object from the asset identified by type.
Boolean	Move (Path destinationPath)
	Moves asset to destination path.
void	OpenExternal (Int32 lineNumber=-1, Int32 columnNumber=-1)
	Opens the asset in the external (associated) application.
void	RemoveLabel (String label)
	Removes a label from an asset. Does nothing if the label doesn't exist.
void	RemoveSubAsset (Object subAsset)
	Removes an object from the asset's sub-objects.
Boolean	Rename (String newFileName)
	Renames an asset's file name (without extension) or a folder.
void	Save ()
	Saves any changes to the asset to disk.
Asset	SaveAs (Path path)
	Saves a copy of the asset to a new path. Overwrites any existing asset at path.
Asset	SaveAsNew (Path path)
	Saves a copy of the asset to a new path. Generates a unique file/folder name if path already exists.
void	SetDirty ()
	Marks the main object as dirty.
void	SetLabels (String[] labels)
	Sets the asset's labels, replacing all previously existing labels.
Object	Trash ()
	Moves the asset to the OS trash. Same as Delete, but recoverable.
