Question Need help scripting a unityPackage Importer through a menuitem.

Hey guys, its my first time in Unity Forums.

I was wondering if you guys can give me some help on writing this script. It's just a couple lines, I'm sure. I'm trying to download a unitypackage off of the web and import it into the project. I'd very much appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections.Generic;
2. using System.Net;
3. using System.IO;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEditor;
6. public static class Importer
7. {
8.     [MenuItem("Importer/Import Package 1", false, 12)]
9.     private static void importPackage1(){
10.         string package = "https://somewebsite.com/pkg.unitypackage"; // I wanted to leave out specifics, so this is just a sample link.
11.         AssetDatabase.ImportPackage(package, false);
12.     }
13. }

This gives me errors like "Failed to import package: Couldn't decompress package". Although, I don't even believe it downloaded anything.

I also have tried using the DownloadFile() function or method inside through a WebClient, but I got UnauthorizedAccessExceptions.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

 

This sounds like you don't have the rights to download that file. Are you able to download the file from your browser?

The

AssetDatabase.ImportPackage

alone is expecting a local path, it's not capable of downloading from the internet, so you need to do that.

 

Ya, I have access to the unitypackage in the webbrowser. I can download it through the website and everything, but I cant figure out how to get it to download from the web and import it. I was trying to download it to the assets folder using Application.dataPath but it wasn't letting me access that path for some reason.

 

but ya, idk what could be going wrong.
