Interacting with the Workshop

Downloading workshop item from C#

var clothing = await Cloud.Load<Clothing>( "URL/IDENT" ); 

The URL can be the full url to a workshop item ex. https://sbox.game/derrikcreates/yes_i_am_the_real_garry or it can be just the end, derrikcreates/yes_i_am_the_real_garry

You are not limited to clothing, any workshop item can be loaded this way you just need to provide the right T type and url for that type
