Resources

Resources are external content files that can be used by components. Before resources can be used in a project, they must first be imported via the Asset Browser.

The following resources types are supported by the different components:

Component Resources File Types
Bitmap Bitmap images .png,.jpg
Shape Shape images .svg
Text Font files .ttf
Script Lua files .lua
Sound Wwise sound bank .bnk

These resources are attached to components via the Properties panel. Each component that uses a resource will display a resource field that accepts a specific type of resource as listed above.

If the resource is deleted from the project, the resource field will display an error. If a project is loaded with missing resources, then you will be presented a dialog that displays the list of broken resources.

Resources are also automatically watched by the editor, and any changes made to a resource file will be automatically updated in the editor. For example, a change made to a bitmap resource file will immediately update in the Viewport if the resource was previously being displayed.
