Add asset to array during runtime
I have an existing script that translates my text using a CSV file that is assigned to a public array in the Inspector.
I now want to store this CSV file on an external server, pull it down when the App starts, and apply it to the array so the other scripts can still reference it in the same way.
I know how to download the asset, I just need some help on how to add it to the array once its downloaded. EDIT: Here are 2 scripts that reference the CSV file: This script is where the CSV file can be assigned in the Inspector.
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using System.IO;
using UnityEditor;
#endif
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
public class TextLocalizationFiles : ScriptableObject
{
public TextAsset[] files;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
[MenuItem("Component/UI/Localization Asset")]
public static void CreateLocalizationAsset()
{
CreateAsset<TextLocalizationFiles>();
}
private static void CreateAsset<T>() where T : ScriptableObject
{
T asset = CreateInstance<T>();
string path = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(Selection.activeObject);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
{
path = "Assets";
}
else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Path.GetExtension(path)))
{
path = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
}
if (!path.Contains("Resources"))
{
string newpath = Path.Combine(path, "Resources");
if (!Directory.Exists(newpath))
AssetDatabase.CreateFolder(path, "Resources");
path = newpath;
}
string assetPathAndName = AssetDatabase.GenerateUniqueAssetPath(Path.Combine(path, "Localization.asset"));
if (File.Exists(assetPathAndName))
{
Debug.LogWarning(string.Format("An asset called Localization was already found at {0}. There can be only one.", path));
return;
}
//Debug.Log("Creating asset " + assetPathAndName + " at " + path);
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(asset, assetPathAndName);
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
AssetDatabase.Refresh();
EditorUtility.FocusProjectWindow();
Selection.activeObject = asset;
}
#endif
}

Can you post your current script for people to take a look at it? It will allow us to provide you with a proper solution rather than perfor$$anonymous$$g guess work as to how your script might be doing something and how to achieve what you are looking for.
