Hi Maeve!

It's not too hard to do. What you're looking for is the PrefabUtility class. Specifically check out the PrefabUtility.SaveAsPrefabAsset.

There's good sample code on that page. Looks something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. PrefabUtility.SaveAsPrefabAsset(gameObject, localPath, out prefabSuccess);

Good luck!

 

hi !
thx for the answer !!
i still have a problem : visual cant found "prefabUtility"

 

Maeve_, that isn't saying it cant find it. Yellow lines like that are some type of suggestion, not errors. What happends when you run this?

Also, you probably dont want to call the SaveAsPrefabAsset on every update, that will be more than necessary. You should have some kind of trigger. Perhaps only save on keydown like your're doing above.
