    Hello good people.
    I'm trying to figure out how to get the original name of a prefab (through an instance of it).

    I would assume this did it when called on a instance, but all I get is null.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. PrefabUtility.GetCorrespondingObjectFromSource(gameObject).name
    What gives :)

    That should work.

    You are not by any chance doing this in Play Mode? Prefab instances don't exist as such at runtime (including Play Mode); they're converted to regular GameObjects.

    If not that, then I can't say what's causing it without more information about that gameObject you're calling it on.
