Closeversion | A number that is used by the import pipeline to detect new versions of the importer script. Changing this number will trigger a re-import of all assets matching the listed extensions. |
exts | List of file name extensions (not including the leading period character) that the scripted importer handles. |
ext | Single file name extension (not including the leading period character) that the scripted importer handles. |
importQueueOffset | Gives control over ordering of asset import based on types. Positive values delay the processing of source asset files while negative values place them earlier in the import process. |
overrideExts | List of file name extensions (not including the leading period character) that the scripted importer can handle in addition to the default file name extension(s). |
Use the ScriptedImporter attribute to register a custom importer derived from ScriptedImporter with Unity's Asset import pipeline.
Always increment a scripted importer's version number whenever the script changes. This forces Assets imported with lower version numbers to be re-imported.
If the Editor's Auto Refresh preference is enabled, editing a script outside of the editor and saving it triggers a re-import of both the script and all Assets of the corresponding type.
The following example declares an importer that handles files with extension cb
and cube
.
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor.AssetImporters;
[ScriptedImporter(1, new[] {"cb", "cube"})] public class CubeImporter : ScriptedImporter { public override void OnImportAsset(AssetImportContext ctx) { // ... } }
The following example declares an importer that handles files with extension sphere
. Its importQueueOffset parameter is set to 10, forcing assets with extension sphere
to be imported after all other scripted importers that have an importQueueOffset of less than 10.
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor.AssetImporters;
[ScriptedImporter(1, "sphere", 10)] public class SphereImporter : ScriptedImporter { public override void OnImportAsset(AssetImportContext ctx) { // ... } }
The following example declares an importer that handles files with the extension fbb
and that can be used to import fbx
files instead of Unity's default ModelImporter.
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor.AssetImporters;
[ScriptedImporter(1, new[] {"fbb"}, new[] {"fbx"})] public class CustomModelImporter : ScriptedImporter { public override void OnImportAsset(AssetImportContext ctx) { // ... } }
