AssetDatabase.LoadAllAssetsAtPath

Parameters

Description

Returns an array of all Assets at assetPath.

Some Asset files may contain multiple sub Assets (such as a Maya file which may contain multiple Meshes and GameObjects).
All paths are relative to the project folder, for example: "Assets/MyTextures/hello.png".
This function returns the main Asset and all sub Assets at a given path, including those hidden in the Project view.

Note: The main asset is not guaranteed to be at index 0 in the array
