Question by normantran86 · Aug 17, 2011 at 05:11 PM · assetbundlewww

How do you set an AssetBundle's version number?

So the 3.4 function WWW.LoadFromCacheOrDownload(url, version) takes the version integer. My question is, how do you set the version number when you're creating an assetbundle?

You just pass in an arbitrary number you pick yourself for version. The point is that when you call LoadFromCacheOrDownload again, with a different version parameter, your data will get reloaded. This lets you control updates to your cached AssetBundles.

It's nice to note you only assign that number on LoadFromCacheOrDownload itself, and nowhere in the bundle. So, that's not even a real version controlling - you'll have to keep your version control somewhere else and then you can only apply it using this.

i think the answer is not clear at all...

"How do you set an AssetBundle's version number?"

everywhere i found the "READ version" but not "WRITE version"

The answer is clear. Read/Write this version is the same!

When you download with version 1 and you didn't have any files cached the file will be cached as "version 1". The next time you load that file with version 1 it will take the cached file. If you increment the download-call to 2 it will re-download the file even if it is the same!
