Question by oxysofts · Mar 30, 2016 at 08:14 AM · gameobject prefabs serialization

Exporting gameobject to file using same mechanism as editor?

In my game, the player can construct their own spaceship by piecing together various spaceship parts.

In the editor, dragging a gameobject to the file hierarchy creates a .prefab file which contains the data needed to reconstruct the gameobject. Is this functionality part of the standard libraries or is it an editor only feature?

If it is, could I use the same functionality to export the player spaceships to their save folder and recreate it at runtime by loading that file?

Thanks
