Hello, I'm currently trying to construct an asset manually in code instead of loading it and later pushing that into a resource that contains handles to previously loaded assets.

But I can't seem to be able to create a handle myself?

let asset = MyAsset { something = 23 };

all_my_assets.0.push(asset); // Complains because it isn't of type Handle<MyAsset>

is there anything i can do?

You can add the asset to the Assets collection to get a handle in return: https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/asset/struct.Assets.html#method.add

Assets in bevy::asset - Rust

Stores Asset values identified by their AssetId.

ah that works too!

i just found the AssetServer::add, and that seems to work as well

#

https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/prelude/struct.AssetServer.html#method.add

AssetServer in bevy::prelude - Rust

Loads and tracks the state of Asset values from a configured AssetReader. This can be used to kick off new asset loads and retrieve their current load states.

#

hm, is there any real difference?
