AssetReference

Remarks

A single scalar, and that is not cosmetics. albedo: vx:9e8a44c9930c64e388ca034c5fe4c426 mesh: vx:1a2b3c4d5e6f70819a2b3c4d5e6f7081#2b9e5f13 material: null Unity writes the same thing as a three-key flow mapping. One scalar diffs on one line, merges cleanly, and greps trivially — rg 'vx:9e8a44c9' finds every referrer, which is the question anyone asks before deleting an asset. Unity's type: field is dropped, because nothing reads it.

The vx: prefix marks it as a reference to both the parser and a human reading a diff. Without it a GUID is indistinguishable from any other hex string in the file.

Fields and properties (6)

• public AssetId Asset

  How long the text form can be: the prefix, a GUID, a hash and a sub-asset id.

• public static AssetReference Null

  A reference to nothing.

• public bool IsNull

  Whether it points at anything.

Methods (11)
