[0b4] Editor: PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab from a scene prefab how to? Or broken?

Hi,

I'd like to clone a prefab that is already in the scene as a prefab.

Code (CSharp):

1. var go = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(scene_prefab) as GameObject;

That produce a null gameobject. I tried gethandleof... and others, but that does not work anyway.
I'm doing anything wrong? Never had this issue.

Thank you..

Edit: Oh, a necro-post.

I think you're looking for PrefabUtility.GetPrefabObject().

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject prefabAsset = PrefabUtility.GetPrefabObject(scene_object_which_may_be_part_of_prefab_instance);
2.  
3. GameObject instance;
4. if (prefabAsset != null)
5.     instance = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(prefabAsset);
6. else
7.     instance = Instantiate(scene_object_which_may_be_part_of_prefab_instance);
