selecting prefab from project window with Editor script
Hi, struggling with this. I need to select a prefab from the project window as I want to populate my scene with prefabs when running an Editor script. Trying variations of this: prefab example is called 'eyes'
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
//#pragma warning disable
public class buildAssetsForFace : MonoBehaviour
{
[MenuItem("Examples/Instantiate Selected")]
static void cheese()
{
Selection.activeObject = AssetDatabase.LoadMainAssetAtPath("Assets/prefab/" + eyes + ".prefab");
}
}
from here
https://answers.unity.com/questions/37180/how-to-highlight-or-select-an-asset-in-project-win.html
But its super old and perhaps not relevant anymore

For anyone else struggling with this
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
//#pragma warning disable
public class buildAssetsForFace : MonoBehaviour
{
[MenuItem("Examples/Instantiate Selected")]
static void populatePrefab()
{
GameObject Eyes = (GameObject)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/prefab/eyes.prefab", typeof(GameObject));
GameObject clone = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(Eyes) as GameObject;
}
}
