The FromType method is a static method of the Editor.AssetType class. It is used to retrieve an AssetType instance that corresponds to a given System.Type. This method is particularly useful when you need to determine the asset type associated with a specific type in the system.
To use the FromType method, you need to pass a System.Type object as a parameter. The method will return an Editor.AssetType that matches the provided type.
Ensure that the type you provide is valid and corresponds to a known asset type within the system. If the type does not match any registered asset type, the method may return null or an undefined result.
// Example of using the FromType method
// Assume you have a type you want to find the asset type for
System.Type myType = typeof(MyCustomType);
// Retrieve the corresponding AssetType
Editor.AssetType assetType = Editor.AssetType.FromType(myType);
// Check if the asset type was found
if (assetType != null)
{
// Use the asset type as needed
Console.WriteLine($"Asset Type: {assetType.FriendlyName}");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("No matching asset type found.");
}
