Show Progress of UnityWebRequest

Question

I'm trying to download an assetbundle using Unity Web Request and show the progress, according to the documentation i need to capture a WebRequestAsyncOperation object to find the progress but i cannot find it

I tried using AsyncOperation and UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation and my routine works with both, what is the difference of using one or another?

here is my code:

IEnumerator DownloadModel3D()
    {
        using (UnityWebRequest uwr = UnityWebRequest.GetAssetBundle(bundleURL,1,0))
        {
            //UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation request = uwr.SendWebRequest();
            AsyncOperation request = uwr.SendWebRequest();

            while (!request.isDone)
            {
                Debug.Log(request.progress);
                yield return null;
            }


            if (uwr.isNetworkError || uwr.isHttpError)
            {
                Debug.Log(uwr.error);
            }
            else
            {
                // Get downloaded asset bundle
                AssetBundle bundle = DownloadHandlerAssetBundle.GetContent(uwr);

                assetBundleInstance = Instantiate(bundle.LoadAsset(assetName)) as GameObject;
                assetBundleInstance.transform.position = transform.position;
                assetBundleInstance.transform.localScale = new Vector3(.08f, .08f, .08f);
                assetBundleInstance.transform.SetParent(transform);
                contador.text = "Descargado: " + assetName + "\n" + bundleURL;
            }
        }
    }

If you mean that WebRequestAsyncOperation is not the same as UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation, turns out they are.

---

UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation

"Asynchronous operation object returned from UnityWebRequest.SendWebRequest()."

Which is the method you already are using.

Source: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation.html

UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation inherits from AsyncOperation, meaning they share the same fields and likely also same methods. UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation additionally has the field below though:

webRequest Returns the associated UnityWebRequest that created the operation.

If this didn't answer your question please elaborate.
