Question What is the best approach for a prefab variant which should inherit from TWO prefabs?

Howdy everyone, I would love to consult with others on an issue my team has been facing lately.
In your opinion, what is the best way to have a prefab variant inherit traits from two separate prefabs?

For content:

We have a base prefab for popups in our game. Let's call it `BasePopup` for the sake of argument.

Every popup prefab inherits from it, for example `YesOrNoQuestionPopup`. This is so all popups inherit things like sprites from it.

However, we also have a variant of `BasePopup`, called `BasePopupVariant`. It changes the color and textures of some of the images in `BasePopup`.

I would like to have a `YesOrNoQuestionPopupVariant` which has the diffs from `BasePopupVariant`. However, I would like to ideally not just make a variant of `BasePopupVariant` and replicate all my changes from `YesOrNoQuestionPopup` because with many popups this will take a long time.

Thanks in advance!

 

At that point I tend to write a script that can do the "change everything to the Variant style" for me, instead of relying on popup variants for style conformity. If you're familiar with CSS, think of the script as doing what a style sheet does. This way it can search the popup's elements and make the color or graphic changes as overrides, and this can be done at Edit or Play time.

 

That's definitely an option. I assume I'll recursively find the elements to alter via the GameObject's name or the name of the sprite attached to it.

Thanks for the input
