Loading a Prefab from resource and initiate a prefab inside it

Hello, I have a piece of code that loads a prefab from the resource folder, creates a new scene and then adds a prefab to it, the issue is that the prefab loaded is just an object, the prefab is broken.

How can I load a prefab and initiate it without breaking the prefap "link"

Code (CSharp):

1.          
2. var prefab = Resources.Load<GameObject>("prefabs/Root");
3.  
4. var newScene = EditorSceneManager.NewScene(NewSceneSetup.EmptyScene, NewSceneMode.Single);
5.                  
6. SceneManager.SetActiveScene(newScene);
7. var o = Object.Instantiate(prefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
8. EditorSceneManager.SaveScene(newScene, "name.unity");

 

I haven't used any of these, but I found some functions that will probably be useful to you. These are editor-only, but I assume you would only need the prefab link in-editor.

UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(Object prefab)
UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.ConnectGameObjectToPrefab(GameObject instance, GameObject prefab)

UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.ReconnectToLastPrefab(GameObject instance);
UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.ResetToPrefabState(Object instance);

 

Hi gambit,
UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(Object prefab)
Was just the thing! thanks, I dont know how I missed it I searched for an hour through the docs.
