SceneDependency (WIP)

• Automatically build dependencies index everytime a scene is saved, and pack all scenes' dependencies configuration into one single asset.
• The saved dependencies is used when SceneDependencyRuntime.LoadSceneAsync is called, all the dependencies will be prepared before the subject scene is loaded.
• Should be highly compatible to all kinds of project setups.
• Supports both Unity's built-in system (SceneManager) and Addressables (Not implemented as for now, it's really hard to design a structure and interface that can works for both systems due to the huge difference between Addressable and SceneManager).

Example

Depedendency diagram:

A  
├──A.Dep1  
│  ├── A.Dep1.Dep  
│  └──A.Dep1+2.Dep (Depended by both A.Dep1 and A.Dep2)  
└──A.Dep2  
   ├──A.Dep2.Dep  
   └──A.Dep1+2.Dep (Depended by both A.Dep1 and A.Dep2)  

We execute SceneDependencyRuntime.LoadSceneAsync, targeting scene A.

Usage

• After importing this library, it hooks into scene saving whenever Unity recompiles.
• When a scene is saved, it checks if there's a SceneDependencyProxy and does the proxy pointing to a valid SceneDependency scriptable object.
• If so, it will make sure this scene is indexed and saved into the SceneDependencyIndex scriptable object, the object is project level Singleton.
• As long as the SceneDependencyIndex asset is included in build/addressables, all SceneDependency should be included as well.
• When SceneDependencyRuntime.LoadSceneAsync is called, it lookup all the scenes that needs to be loaded (includnig deps of deps of deps... etc.) then load all of them before loading the requested scene.
• So it's very easy, create SceneDependency scriptable object for every scene that you want to specify its dependencies and add a SceneDependencyProxy with the SceneDependency referenced. Save. Done.
