About SubAssets Toolbox
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
GameObjects have child elements. Can assets have them too? Yes! Sub-assets!
Sub-what?!
Sub-assets have been a feature in Unity since the very early days. But outside of some default types generated as a result of an importing an .fbx (Animation Clips, Meshes, Materials) it is rare to see developers use them in their games. Working with them is clunky, and programmers need to take the time to create their own tooling.
But they can be very powerful! With Sub-assets you can:
Break massive ScriptableObjects into smaller ones
These small SOs can be used like components
Nest assets in Prefabs!
Related assets are kept together
Helps designers see relations and dependencies
Easier to reorganise and move them around
Addressable management becomes simpler
SubAssets Toolbox provides native and intuitive workflows for programmers as well as the rest of the team, unlocking all of the potential of this under-utilized Unity pillar.
Editor workflows
Drag assets on top of others to make them sub-assets.
Remove sub-assets by dragging them away, to turn them into independent assets.
Drag and drop supports multi-selection (also of a mix of assets and sub-assets).
Patch references
When creating or removing a sub-asset, all references to the disappearing asset will be patched to point to the newly created one. This prevents broken references when moving assets around.
Shortcuts and context menus
Right-click > Delete Sub-Asset(s) or Ctrl+Delete on one or more sub-assets to delete them.
Right-click > Rename Sub-Asset or F2/Enter, to rename one.
Right-click > Create menu while an asset is selected, the newly-created asset is immediately added as a sub-asset.
API
To use them at runtime, you need a reference to sub-assets. SubAssets Toolbox provides a handy interface and a class to create your own ScriptableObject types that can keep track of their sub-assets, complete with a nice list UI for the Inspector.
