I want to know how to unload ScriptableObject with plenty of data...

I have a ScriptableObject asset ,contain thounds of float data,,,

use Resources.Load to load this asset at runtime...

but how to unload this ScriptableObject to release memory...when finishing calculation?


I tried to use Destroy to unload the object ,but fail..

eror occurs ...like this.

Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss. If you really want to remove an asset use DestroyImmediate (theObject, true);

Code:

void Start () {

TestData td =Resources.Load("TestData")asTestData;
Destroy(td);
}

 

You probably just like to unload and not destroy the file

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.UnloadAsset.html

 

um...but the same...

 

What do you mean with " the sane" ?
Do you get the "Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss." error , or does it not work without a error?

If its not throwing the error but not release the memory , the ScriptableObject is still referenced by some script , so it will be loaded again as soon as the referencing script needs it.

 

I got an error...when I using Resources.unloadAsset to unload the scriptable object.

UnloadAsset may only be used on individual assets and can not be used on GameObject's / Components or AssetBundles
UnityEngine.Resources:UnloadAsset(Object)

 

like this?

void Start () {

TestData td =Resources.Load("TestData")asTestData;
//calculation....
...
td = null;
Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets();
}

right?.///
