MainObject

Object MainObject

getset

Gets or sets the asset's main object.

To cast the main object to a specific type you may simply cast the asset:

var myObj = (MyType)asset;

Is short for:

var myObj = (MyType)asset.MainObject;

The same works with the 'as' operator:

var myObj = asset as MyType;

Is short for:

var myObj = asset.MainObject as MyType;

Lastly you can also use the generic getter:

var myObj = asset.Get<MyType>();
