AssetManager

System that manages loading and unloading assets.

Some of these functions are available as global functions, so you can just call LoadAsset(name) instead of AssetManager.LoadAsset(name). See Globals.

---

RefSweep

---

Sig: asset = AssetManager.GetAsset(name) - Arg: string name Asset name - Ret: Asset asset Asset

---

LoadAsset

Load and get an asset immediately.

Sig: asset = AssetManager.LoadAsset(name) - Arg: string name Asset name - Ret: Asset asset Loaded asset

---

SaveAsset

Save an asset. Only available in Editor.

Sig: AssetManager.SaveAsset(name) - Arg: string name Asset name

---

AsyncLoadAsset

---
