Why does duplicating objects change the name of the object in Unity 5 beta 13?
Previously duplicating an object kept the same name. In the newer beta of Unity 5 the name changes from eg. box_01 to box_02 etc. which is really annoying if you have prefabs that you want to have the same name.
Let's say I have a wall with a brown door called wall_door_01 and another one with a green door called wall_door_02. If I duplicate the wall_door_01 it will change to wall_door_02 which is not at all what I want.
Is there any way to turn off this behaviour?
Yeah but even so it gets incredibly confusing in the example I provided. The way it worked before was fine for us but now the scene hierarchy gets very disorganized and it's hard to see quickly what's what.
I'm having the same problem. How can you fix this? Or this wouldn't necessary affect the game? :S
Not sure if there's a way to turn it off, but it's generally not recommended to refer to objects by name anyway. If you have many instances of the same prefab then assign them a tag and use GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag
That's lighter on resources anyway. Won't have to search the whole scene one by one for the names.
Highlight them all in the hierarchy and change their name in the inspector--BOOM!
