public static method AddConfigObject(name: string, obj: Object, overwrite: bool): void;
public static void AddConfigObject(string name, Object obj, bool overwrite);

Parameters

nameThe name of the object reference in string format. This string name must be unique within your project or the overwrite parameter must be set to true.
objObject reference to be stored. This object must be persisted and not null.
overwriteBoolean parameter used to specify that you want to overwrite an entry with the same name if one already exists.

Returns

void Throws an exception if the object is null, not persisted, or if there is a name conflict and the overwrite parameter is set to false.

Description

Store a reference to a config object by name. The object must be an asset in the project, otherwise it will not be saved when the editor is restarted or scripts are reloaded. To avoid name conflicts with other packages, it is recommended that names are qualified by a namespace, i.e. "company.package.name".
