Description

See Also: BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundle.

//Create a folder (right click in the Assets folder and go to Create>Folder), and name it “Editor” if it doesn’t already exist
//Place this script in the Editor folder

//This script creates a new Menu named “Build Asset” and new options within the menu named “Normal” and “Collect Dependencies”. Click these menu items to build an AssetBundle into a folder with either no extra build options, or a collect dependencies build.
