How do I find assets within an editor script?

So I've got a bunch of prefabs sitting in the assets folder. They are all monotype structures that represent dialog trees (I use monotypes so they can have a hierarchical structure for branching.)

At run-time, I require a list of all of them, so up until now whenever I create a new one, I drag it on a public list in the manager and access it from there.

This works fine, and the only change I want to make is to add a button to the manager that automatically fills in the list for me.

So from an editor class on the manager try the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. string[] interactions = AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:Interaction", new[] { "Assets/Prefabs/Interactions" });
2.         foreach(string interactionName in interactions)
3.         {
4.             Debug.Log("Interaction Found:" + interactionName);
5.         }

But that comes up empty. When I switch to "t: object" it pulls in every file in that folder, and I'd like to limit it to objects of type "interaction"

Also at some point I'm going to need to code:

foreach(interaction someInteraction in foundInteractions)
{
interactionList.add(someInteraction);
}

but AssetDatabase.FindAssets returns an array of strings, and I need something that points to the Interactions themselves, so any help there would be apreciated.

 

It's been a while, but if you're interested in how to do this here's how:
(You need to grab a GUID for each asset in the folder, load it, and test to see if the main object contains the data type you're looking for.)

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void FillInFields()
2.     {
3.         var t = (target as LocalizerData);
4.         t.interactionPrefabs.Clear();
5.  
6.         Debug.Log("Searching For Fields");
7.         string[] interactionGUIDs = AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:object", new[] { "Assets/Prefabs/Interactions" });
8.  
9.  
10.         foreach (string guid2 in interactionGUIDs)
11.         {
12.             Debug.Log(AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid2));
13.             GameObject someGameObject = AssetDatabase.LoadMainAssetAtPath(AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid2)) as GameObject;
14.             if(someGameObject)
15.             {
16.                 Interaction someInteraction = someGameObject.GetComponent<Interaction>();
17.                 if(someInteraction)
18.                 {
19.                     t.interactionPrefabs.Add(someInteraction);
20.                     Debug.Log("Interaction:" + someInteraction.interactionTitle);
21.                 }
22.              
23.             }
24.         }
25. }
