Loading Scriptable Objects

Hi guys,

I want to load the scriptable objects from the hard drive and i don't want to put them in the resources or steaming folder. Is there any way i can load them?

Thanks.

 

You just reference them in your class as a public variable.

 

Thanks for the reply , what I meant was that I have a .asset file which I want to put it outside unity and load it on the runtime.

 

Assetbundles.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetBundlesIntro.html

 

I tried to load the Scriptable Object .asset file using the asset bundle api but it failed as it is not an asset bundle. Do i need to convert them in asset bundle first or any other way i can load them

Thanks

 

The link zombiegorilla gave explains all that.

 

Like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. SlotDataAsset slot = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(path, typeof(SlotDataAsset)) as SlotDataAsset;

Note that this can only be done in the editor.

 

Thanks Jaimi for the reply , but I want to load them in the game , not in editor , can I load them without using asset bundles?

 

No. You will need to put it into an assetbundle and then load the assetbundle.

 

Thanks a lot guys , i will do a test
