Find an Asset by Name and get it's Path?
I have an editor script that finds the Prefab based on the name of the item selected and replaces it. I'm using it to fix broken Prefab connections in my project. It works great but I'm assuming that the Prefab is a Platform and I'd like to make the code more general.
@MenuItem ("Tools/Replace with Prefab %r")
static function Revert() {
var transforms = Selection.transforms;
for (var i : int = 0; i < transforms.Length; i++) {
var localPath : String = "Assets/Prefabs/Platforms/" + transforms[i].gameObject.name + ".prefab";
var newObject : GameObject = EditorUtility.InstantiatePrefab(AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(localPath, Object)) as GameObject;
newObject.transform.position = transforms[i].position;
newObject.transform.localRotation = transforms[i].localRotation;
newObject.transform.localScale = transforms[i].localScale;
DestroyImmediate(transforms[i].gameObject);
}
}
I think what you may want is GetAssetPath. Name says it all I think!

That works for GameObjects that have valid prefab connections, but for prefabs with missing connections it doesn't work.
What I'm looking for is a way to find out what directories exist in the Assets Folder or to be able to recursively search a directory.
You could use System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(Application.dataPath, "*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories). Note that in the editor, Application.dataPath is the Assets folder for the project.
thanks!!! just got this:
var path1 : String = Directory.GetDirectories(Application.dataPath, title, System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);
No appropriate version of 'System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories' for the argument list '(String,String, System.IO.SearchOption)' was found.
ok i set build settings to pc, switch platform, it compiles, i have this:
texture1 = GOcube4.renderer.material.mainTexture;
var retrievepath : String = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(texture1);
// if (retrievepath == null)
// {
var title : String = Selection.activeGameObject.renderer.materials[1%Selection.activeGameObject.renderer.materials.length].mainTexture.name;
var path1 = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(Application.dataPath, title+"*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);
for (path1i in path1)
{
// if (path1i == Texture2D )
// {
print(" was a texture " + path1i.GetType() );
// }
}
//var retrievepath2 : String = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(texture1);
//print(Selection.activeGameObject.renderer.materials[1%Selection.activeGameObject.renderer.materials.length].mainTexture.name);
print(path1.length + " [athj " + path1[2]);
