Declaration

public static bool IsSubAsset(Object obj);

Parameters

Parameter Description
obj The asset object to check.

Returns

bool True if the asset is part of another asset. Otherwise, false.

Description

Checks whether an asset object is part of another asset.

Some assets are stored inside another asset. For example, a procedural material can be part of a material package. Use this method to find out whether an asset is stored 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)); } }

Declaration

public static bool IsSubAsset(EntityId entityId);

instanceID The instance ID of the asset to check.
