Declaration

public static void SaveAssetIfDirty(Object obj);

Parameters

Parameter Description
obj The asset object to save, if it has unsaved changes.

Description

Writes any unsaved changes to an asset object to disk.

This method is similar to AssetDatabase.SaveAssets, so don't call it during serialization either. Because you specify the asset directly, it doesn't call AssetModificationProcessor.OnWillSaveAssets.

Declaration

public static void SaveAssetIfDirty(GUID guid);

Parameters

Parameter Description
guid The GUID of the asset to save, if it has unsaved changes.

Description

Writes any unsaved changes to the asset with the specified GUID to disk.

This method is similar to AssetDatabase.SaveAssets, so don't call it during serialization either. Because you specify the asset directly, it doesn't call AssetModificationProcessor.OnWillSaveAssets.
