AssetDatabase.IsSubAsset

Declaration

public static bool IsSubAsset(Object obj);

Declaration

public static bool IsSubAsset(int instanceID);

Parameters

obj The asset Object to query.
instanceID Instance ID of the asset Object to query.

Description

Does the asset form part of another asset?

Some assets may form part of another asset (for example, a procedural material can be part of a material package). This function tells if an asset is subordinated in this way.

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
public class Scriptable : ScriptableObject
{
}

public class AssetDatabaseExamples : MonoBehaviour { [MenuItem("AssetDatabase/Is Sub Asset Example")] static void IsSubAssetExample() { var materialAsset = new Material(Shader.Find("Standard")); //materialAsset is still in memory, therefore this will be False Debug.Log(AssetDatabase.IsSubAsset(materialAsset));

//Create a Scriptable object var scriptableAssetPath = "Assets/ScriptableObjects/NewObject.asset"; var mainAsset = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Scriptable>(); AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(mainAsset, scriptableAssetPath);

//Add the Material Asset to the Scriptable object, so that the Material becomes a Sub Asset of the Scriptable object AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset(materialAsset, scriptableAssetPath); AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();

//This will be True because the Material asset has been added to the mainAsset and is now a Sub Asset Debug.Log(AssetDatabase.IsSubAsset(materialAsset)); } }
