Reply To: About using Addressable AssetReference in blackboards

[tournesol]

Hello everyone,

I am un-earthing this topic because usage of AssetReference in FlowCanvas and NodeCanvas is of utmost importance to us.

I have been recommanding your software at multiple companies I worked at and right now we are hitting a wall because of Asset reference: as said at the beginning of this topic they don’t seem to be supported out of the box. And this is probably because asset reference is not a simple type.

> GUI is indeed a whole different story, but you could write a custom ObjectDrawer for that and it should work fine.

I tried my hand at that and looked at the PropertyDrawer called AssetReferenceDrawer in the addressable package for inspiration… it is a VERY complicated file. It doesn’t look like something canvas users can quickly patch together.

So are you guys at paradox planning support anytime ?
Did anyone eventually patch a solution together ? Could you share the code ?
Even partial/buggy support would be appreciated.

Anyway, thanks for the really great software guys !
