Remarks

This class manages texture downloads using UnityWebRequest and maintains a cache of downloaded textures. Reference counting ensures that textures are only destroyed when no longer in use. In the Unity Editor, all downloads are automatically aborted and released when exiting play mode or edit mode.

Methods

DownloadAsync(string, bool)

Downloads a texture from the specified URI asynchronously.

public static Task<Texture2D> DownloadAsync(string uri, bool nonReadable = true)

Parameters

uri string

The URI of the texture to download.

nonReadable bool

If true, the texture's raw data will not be accessible from scripts (uses less memory). Default is true.

Returns

Task<Texture2D>

A task that represents the asynchronous download operation. The task result contains the downloaded texture, or null if the download failed.

Remarks

If the texture has already been downloaded and cached, returns the cached texture and increments its reference count. If a download for the same URI is already in progress, waits for that download to complete.

Release(Texture2D)

Releases a reference to the specified texture, destroying it if the reference count reaches zero.

public static void Release(Texture2D texture)

Parameters

texture Texture2D

The texture to release.
