Duplicate object and keeping original name
Hello, (I'm pretty new to Unity, so forgive me if the answer to this question is very obvious)
I was wondering if it would be possible to duplicate a game object (with CTRL + D) whilst keeping the original name of the object, this option would be very useful to have because a plugin i use requires the items to have the original name.
When i duplicate something now i get for example: Object > Object 1 Would it be possible to just keep the "Object" name for the duplicate?

I'm guessing you are using unity5 ?
I'm about 99% certain this can't be changed. It was something they added with unity5 to help with organisation of the hierarchy and making it easier to find objects.
:)
Ah that's a shame.. I'd wish there just was an option to change this. Thanks for the answer.

yes and it suck! 100 Go with (1), (2) etc don't help with organisation (#CoinsInAScorer XD) after you did copy you can select all Go you duplicate and rename with same name in inspector, that's faster than supr the enumeration one by one.
