    What title says. I tried searching the forum because it feels like this should've been addressed (haw haw, see what I did there) already, but apparently I'm crap at it... So. Can you set an asset as addressable (and maybe automatically simplify the address) through an editor script?

    In case anyone else gets here from google, the only example on the net that I've been able to find for setting an asset as addressable is Favo-Yang's project. It's a neat project but it took me a while to untangle what I needed to just simply create/remove groups and labels, then set an object as addressable.

    Also, when you run CreateOrMoveEntry(), if your labels and group names aren't correct you won't get an error it will just silently fail, so watch out for that.

    Hope this helps someone else :)


    
//Use this object to manipulate addressables
    
var settings = AddressableAssetSettingsDefaultObject.Settings;
    

    
Create and Remove groups and labels and custom address:
    
string group_name = "YourGroupName";
    
string label_name = "YourLabelName";
    
string path_to_object = "Assets/path/to/your/object/";
    
string custom_address = "Custom address here";
    

    
//Create a group with no schemas
    
//settings.CreateGroup(group_name, false, false, false, new List<AddressableAssetGroupSchema> { settings.DefaultGroup.Schemas[0] });
    
//Create a group with the default schemas
    
settings.CreateGroup(sim_name, false, false, false, settings.DefaultGroup.Schemas);
    

    
//Create a Label
    
settings.AddLabel(label_name, false);
    

    
//Remove a group
    
AddressableAssetGroup g = settings.FindGroup(group_name);
    
settings.RemoveGroup(g);
    
//Remove a label
    
settings.RemoveLabel(label_name, false);
    

    
//Make a gameobject an addressable
    
AddressableAssetGroup g = settings.FindGroup(group_name);
    
var guid = AssetDatabase.AssetPathToGUID(path_to_object);
    
//This is the function that actually makes the object addressable
    
var entry = settings.CreateOrMoveEntry(guid, g);
    
entry.labels.Add(label_name);
    
entry.address = custom_address;
    
//You'll need these to run to save the changes!
    
settings.SetDirty(AddressableAssetSettings.ModificationEvent.EntryMoved, entry, true);
    
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();

    Many thanks! Why this exact info isn't in the manual is darn mystery.
