Importer Class
Warning
The scope of applications for UnigineScript is limited to implementing materials-related logic (material expressions, scriptable materials, brush materials). Do not use UnigineScript as a language for application logic, please consider C#/C++ instead, as these APIs are the preferred ones. Availability of new Engine features in UnigineScript (beyond its scope of applications) is not guaranteed, as the current level of support assumes only fixing critical issues.
This class is used to manage a file importer. File importers are used by the Engine's import system to bring the data stored in various non-native formats to UNIGINE. Each importer can be used to import multiple file formats, but there shouldn't be two or more importers registered for a single file format.
