You should create a single AddressableImportSettings file located at Assets/AddressableAssetsData/AddressableImportSettings.asset. To create it, go to Assets/AddressableAssetsData folder, right click in your project window and choose Create > Addressable Assets > Import Settings.
Once the settings file selected, you can edit rules in the inspector window. Then click File > Save Project to apply the changes.
- Path, the path pattern
- Match type
- Wildcard,
*matches any number of characters,?matches a single character - Regex
- Wildcard,
- Group name, leaves blank for the default group
- Labels, the labels to add
- Simplified, simplify address to filename without extension
- Address Replacement
- When using Regex, this can be used to build the address based on information captured from the path.
| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| Wildcard | Asset/Sprites/Icons |
| Wildcard | Asset/Sprites/Level??/*.asset |
| Regex | ^Assets/Models/.*\.fbx |
| Regex | Assets/Weapons/(?<prefix>(?<category>[^/]+)/(./))(?<asset>._Data.\.asset) |
Using this mode allows extraction of arbitrary information from the path, via the use of capture groups. Named capture groups can be referred to in Address Replacement via ${group}. If groups are not named, they can be referred to numerically, via $1, $2 and so on. For more information, refer to Microsoft Docs - Substitutions in Regular Expressions.
- The importer will not override existing labels.
- The importer will only override address if it looks like a path (starts with
Assets/). In another word, if you changed or simplified the address, then reimport or move it, the address remains no change.
