How to copy a particle system between objects?
Right now I have a campfire object, and a separate prefab with a particle system on it (not made by me). I want the particle system component to be part of the campfire to make scripting easier, but can't find any way to copy it without maybe trying to trace it from scratch.
Any ideas? Thanks
EDIT: I already have an empty prefab with just a particle system on it. I want to move the actual particle system component (with all it's values and textures etc) to my Campfire prefab.
Duplicate the Particle system in the Hierarchy window (right-click > Duplicate). Then make that duplicate a prefab, and use again and again.
Parent the particle system to the campfire in your hierarchy and drag the two united objects into your project panel. This will make a new prefab containing both objects.

Go to particle system gameobject
Find particle system component on it
Press that gear icon
In drop down menu press "Copy Component"
Go to any gameobject or prefab
Press any gear icon on any component
In drop down menu press "Paste Component As New"
Now you have component you need in prefab or gameobject you need.
Thanks! So weird that you have to click on a different component's gear to paste as opposed to just right-clicking the object... puts the "ui" in "counterintuitive"
