Saving selfcreated Object permanently as Asset?

Hi,

i am trying to save a GameObject/Prefab which was created on runtime to my project assets, unfortunately when i call AssetDatabase.CreateAsset () the prefab is created in my project folder - BUT it's spawned so i have two objects in the scene (one which i used to call AssetDatabase.CreateAsset () and the other one which is named after the prefab just created) this second object won't disappear after i leave playmode and i get an error: "Some objects were not cleaned up when closing the scene":neutral:
Furthermore after leaving playmode the prefab in my project folder becomes empty only the transform component remains
I'm looking for a way to store a GameObject permanently so i can create it once and then instantiate it in further game sessions...

Thanks for your support,

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using System.Collections;
5. using UnityEditor;
6.  
7. public class AssetCreation : MonoBehaviour {
8.    
9.     Texture2D pico;
10.     GameObject oob;
11.     public Texture2D display;
12.     // Use this for initialization
13.     void Start () {
14.         pico = new Texture2D(display.width,display.height);
15.        
16.         for (int i =0; i < display.width; i++){
17.             for (int j = 0; j < display.height; j++){
18.             pico.SetPixel(i,j,new Color(1f,0.0f,0.0f,1f)); 
19.             }
20.         }
21.         pico.Apply();
22.        
23.        
24.        
25.         oob = new GameObject();
26.         oob.AddComponent("MeshFilter");
27.         MeshFilter filler =(MeshFilter) oob.GetComponent(typeof(MeshFilter)) ;
28.         filler.mesh = new Mesh();
29.         Vector3 [] vert = {new Vector3(1f,0f,0f),new Vector3(1f,0f,1f), new Vector3(0f,0f,0f)};
30.         int [] tries = {0,1,2};
31.         Vector2 [] uvs = {new Vector2(1f,0f),new Vector2(1f,1f),new Vector2(0f,0f)};
32.        
33.         filler.mesh.vertices = vert;
34.         filler.mesh.triangles = tries;
35.         filler.mesh.uv =uvs;
36.        
37.         filler.mesh.RecalculateNormals();
38.        
39.        
40.         oob.AddComponent("MeshRenderer");
41.         MeshRenderer rend = (MeshRenderer) oob.GetComponent(typeof(MeshRenderer));
42.        
43.         rend.material.mainTexture = null;
44.         rend.material.mainTexture = pico;
45.        
46.        
47.        
48.         AssetDatabase.CreateAsset (oob, "Assets/test.prefab");
49.         AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
50.        
51.    
52.     }
53.  
54. }
55.  

 

for that u need to write editor scripts .
if you are not dealing with complex things.u can just drag and drop the gameObject to the asset floder at runtime ,it will create a prefab of that particular state of the gameObject .

 

Hi, thanks i will try it this way but drag and drop is no option since in the game this is supposed to happen automaticly

 

The PrefabUtility class might be of use here (possibly followed by an AssetDatabase.Refresh).
