MonoReference

Use Reference method to serialize MonoBehaviour, no longer relying on Unity ResourceManager when loading resources. Instead, another Proxy script adds it after loading

Scenes to be used

Used with HybridCLR to add a new MonoBehaviour to hot update resources, the Assembly does not need to be added to ScriptAssembly.json in advance, so that the Mod function can be realized

Please refer to https://hybridclr.doc.code-philosophy.com/docs/basic/monobehaviour. The author’s comments are as follows

private void AddHotFixAssembliesToScriptingAssembliesJson(string path)
{
     Debug.Log($"[PatchScriptingAssemblyList]. path:{path}");
     /*
         * All dll names are recorded in the ScriptingAssemblies.json file. This list is automatically loaded when the game starts.
         * DLLs not in this list cannot have their types found during resource deserialization
         * Therefore, the items removed in OnFilterAssemblies need to be added back
         */
     string[] jsonFiles = Directory.GetFiles(path, SettingsUtil.ScriptingAssembliesJsonFile, SearchOption.AllDirectories);

     if (jsonFiles.Length == 0)
     {
         //Debug.LogError($"can not find file {SettingsUtil.ScriptingAssembliesJsonFile}");
         return;
     }

     foreach (string file in jsonFiles)
     {
         var patcher = new ScriptingAssembliesJsonPatcher();
         patcher.Load(file);
         patcher.AddScriptingAssemblies(SettingsUtil.HotUpdateAssemblyFilesIncludePreserved);
         patcher.Save(file);
     }
}

If you do not put it in json, MissingReference will appear when the hot update resource is deserialized.

Ordinary C# class Reference?

Just use Activator.CreateInstance to instantiate it directly in HybridCLR
