Mounting assets at runtime
<cat>Code.Misc</cat> <title>Mounting assets at runtime</title> #Mounting assets at runtime Sometimes you might need to download and mount certain resources from [asset.party](https://asset.party) at runtime. Maybe you're making a GMod style game with spawnable props, maybe you're procedurally generating something. ## Example method The Sandbox gamemode has a great method that allows you to download and mount models from [asset.party](https://asset.party). ``` static async Task DownloadAsset( string packageName) { var package = await Package.Fetch( packageName, false ); if ( package == null || package.PackageType != Package.Type.Model || package.Revision == null ) { // spawn error particles return; } var model = package.GetMeta( "PrimaryAsset", "models/dev/error.vmdl" ); // downloads if not downloaded, mounts if not mounted await package.MountAsync(); Precache.Add( model ); } ```
