Parameters

Parameter Description
artifactKey ArtifactKey specifying what artifact to produce with which importer class.

Returns

ImportResultID Unique identifier for the artifact produced from the specified artifactKey.

This method returns an invalid ImportResultID in the following curcumstances:

  2. artifactKey contains an invalid Asset reference, or an invalid Importer type.

Use AssetDatabaseExperimental.ForceProduceArtifact where it is not appropriate to use a cached result.
