Question by MuffinMyst · Apr 08, 2014 at 04:35 AM · importassetassets

Assets won't Import

It isn't even showing me an error message. I download the asset, it looks like its downloading. The option to import appears, but when I click on it, I hear a little "ding" error jingle that my computer makes when I tried to do something it refuses to do. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I have yet to successfully import any assets.

What do you mean by Asset? A Unity Package? And where are you downloading from, the Asset Store? I noticed a bug in the asset list that it doesn't import unless I open the store and import it directly from the listing in the store (i.e. I can't import it from my list of assets locally). $$anonymous$$aybe that's the problem.

Hi, this happened to me recently. Just be sure to stop the game before trying to import any asset from the store.

Hope you can solve this.

I had the same problem on Windows8, I could import a package only from menu bar /Assets/ImportPackage/Custom and choosing from explorer maybe it works for you too.

Directly from the store. Through unity, I open the asset store, or I am on Unity's page, then it opens Unity for me and the store to be "imported"

I tried closing Unity and re-opening as Admin (I am on windows 8) and it allowed me to import then, but the next time (about 30 minutes later, same instance of Unity open and running) it did the same thing. Seems like re-starting the whole program fixes it, so I'm not without a way to do it, but it's a little annoying to have to keep restarting Unity each time I want to import an asset.

I would still like a more permanent fix, if anyone has any ideas
