Description
Creates a prefab containing the contents of the currently selected game object.
Usage
Place the script inside the Editor folder. Select a GameObject and choose 'GameObject > Create Prefab From Selection'. A new prefab will be created in the root directory bearing the same name as the GameObject.
Faults:
To Do
- Currently the script replaces any existing prefab with the same name; more desirable would be to append a number to the filename of the new prefab
- The selected GameObject should become an instance of the newly created prefab
C# - CreatePrefabFromSelected.cs
using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; class CreatePrefabFromSelected { const string menuTitle = "GameObject/Create Prefab From Selected"; /// <summary> /// Creates a prefab from the selected game object. /// </summary> [MenuItem (menuTitle)] static void CreatePrefab () { GameObject obj = Selection.activeGameObject; string name = obj.name; Object prefab = EditorUtility.CreateEmptyPrefab("Assets/" + name + ".prefab"); EditorUtility.ReplacePrefab(obj, prefab); AssetDatabase.Refresh(); } /// <summary> /// Validates the menu. /// </summary> /// <remarks>The item will be disabled if no game object is selected.</remarks> [MenuItem (menuTitle, true)] static bool ValidateCreatePrefab () { return Selection.activeGameObject != null; } }
C# - Updated CreatePrefabFromSelected.cs
I decided to update this script in can anybody is intewrested. It now will give a popup if the prefab already exits and you can choose to overwrite the prefab or cancel. It also replaces the selected gameObject with the new prefab.
- Cameron Bonde
- Updated to accept multiple selected objects and not use /prefabs folder (without it it deletes the GO without creating prefab)
- Fixed the script to make sure the new object have the same parent as the old one in the scene. --Blikstad 06:11, 20 May 2012 (PDT)
using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; class CreatePrefabFromSelected : ScriptableObject { const string menuTitle = "GameObject/Create Prefab From Selected"; /// <summary> /// Creates a prefab from the selected game object. /// </summary> [MenuItem(menuTitle)] static void CreatePrefab() { GameObject[] obj = Selection.gameObjects; foreach (GameObject go in obj) { string name = go.name; string localPath = "Assets/" + name + ".prefab"; if (AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(localPath, typeof(GameObject))) { if (EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Are you sure?", "The prefab already exists. Do you want to overwrite it?", "Yes", "No")) { createNew(go, localPath); } } else { createNew(go, localPath); } } } static void createNew(GameObject obj, string localPath) { Object prefab = PrefabUtility.CreatePrefab (localPath, obj); EditorUtility.ReplacePrefab(obj, prefab, ReplacePrefabOptions.ConnectToPrefab); AssetDatabase.Refresh(); } /// <summary> /// Validates the menu. /// </summary> /// <remarks>The item will be disabled if no game object is selected.</remarks> [MenuItem(menuTitle, true)] static bool ValidateCreatePrefab() { return Selection.activeGameObject != null; } }
C# - CreatePrefabFromSelected.cs Procedural Mesh Version
Small update for procedural mesh creations: it saves the created mesh to disk and inside a prefab, instead of losing it, and keeps all prefab size, shader, collider, and script settings in 1 prefab.
Requires that you have a folder called Assets/savedMesh
using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; /// <summary> /// Saves mesh and entire prefab from gameview, your procedural mesh prefab is saved. /// </summary> class CreatePrefabFromSelected { const string menuName = "GameObject/Create Prefab From Selected"; /// <summary> /// Adds a menu named "Create Prefab From Selected" to the GameObject menu. /// </summary> [MenuItem(menuName)] static void CreatePrefabMenu () { var go = Selection.activeGameObject; Mesh m1 = go.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh;//update line1 AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(m1, "Assets/savedMesh/" + go.name +"_M" + ".asset"); // update line2 var prefab = EditorUtility.CreateEmptyPrefab("Assets/savedMesh/" + go.name + ".prefab"); EditorUtility.ReplacePrefab(go, prefab); AssetDatabase.Refresh(); } /// <summary> /// Validates the menu. /// The item will be disabled if no game object is selected. /// </summary> /// <returns>True if the menu item is valid.</returns> [MenuItem(menuName, true)] static bool ValidateCreatePrefabMenu () { return Selection.activeGameObject != null; } }
