Unity 5 Assetbundles functions obsolete in Unity 5.

Questions & Answers
1

So I have read all about the new Unity 5 Asset Bundle system, and I follow it. The problem is, a lot of functionality has been removed from the scripting side. Or rather, it still works, but it has been made obsolete and I do not see how to do the same things via non-obsolete functionality.

For example, lets say I have a directory of items and I want to build each item into their own separate AssetBundle. How do I do that if I am not supposed to use BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundle? Am I supposed to write a script to specify an AssetBundle parameter in the inspector UI now? That seems much less simple to me.

New assetbundle build system in unity 5.0

As I understand from the topic, you will need to use AssetImporter.assetBundleName
on each asset you want to include in the bundle.

So something along these lines:

foreach(var asset in assets)
{
    var importer = AssetImporter.GetAtPath(asset);
    importer.assetBundleName = "MyBundle";
    AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(asset);
}
// TODO: build bundles here
