Get a reference to a ScriptabeObject at runtime

Hi there,

I've this ScriptableObject:

Code (CSharp):

1. [CreateAssetMenu]
2. public class InventoryItem : ScriptableObject
3. {
4.     public Sprite sprite;
5. }

and I've created some InventoryItem assets.

Now I need to know how can I get a reference to one of the assets at runtime having the asset name?

I know I can get a reference by dragging it to a public field in a MonoBehaviour but in this case I want to get the reference knowing the asset name.

Is that possible?

Thanks.

 

You can use Resources: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.html
Or the newer and more efficient but more complicated Addressable Assets: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@1.11/manual/index.html

 

I think I will use both:

Resourses folder for prototyping and Addressables for production.

Thank you for your help!

PD: By the way is there a way to mark your answer as the accepted answer or the post as solved?
