Set prefab to public variable of another script
Hi there
I'm trying to set a prefab from the project folder to a secondary scripts' public variable. This is within an editor script.
Scenario is that the first script is creating a gameobject based on certain parameters. Once the user is happy with everything, they can press 'save', which creates the gameobject into a prefab. I now want this prefab to be stored as a public variable onto another script (which is already attached to a gameobject in the hierarchy).
I can find the second script through calling something like:
MyScript scriptInstance = FindObjectOfType( typeof(MyScript ) ) as MyScript ;
From within the first script, i'd like to then call something like
scriptInstance.m_prefabReference = m_myPrefabIjustMade;
Any ideas? Cheers!
I don't get your question...
When you have your prefab reference "m_myPrefabIjust$$anonymous$$ade" and a reference to the script instance that contains the variable, isn't the line you've posted exactly what you want?
scriptInstance.m_prefabReference = m_myPrefabIjust$$anonymous$$ade;
I don't get the problem...
First thing that comes to mind is to pass the prefab path as a string to your second script and then use http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html to get the actual prefab in there. Though there might be more efficient ways to do it.
I already have the path to the prefab since the first script is generating and saving the path using the AssetDatabase. I cannot use Resources.Load since i just need to get a reference to the prefab. (I'm needing to do this for an object pool).
All i basically would like to do is reenact the process of dragging a prefab from the project folder straight onto a script that has a public variable or array of variables ready to accept prefabs. Thanks for the suggestion though.
