How to save a prefab when a button is pressed
In my scene I have a small character customization mechanic where the player can change the head, torso and color scheme of the robot character. However I want the changes to save so it can be loaded in other scenes and when the app is closed it loads up the same instance how do i do this. 
As you can see the droid from the current run-time is different from the droid prefab in the project. How do I overwrite the project droid with the current instance when the save button is pressed.
You can create prefabs at runtime with the PrefabUtility.CreatePrefab function. Take a look at the ReplacePrefab options available as a parameter.
Like this:
GameObject go;
string prefabPath = "Prefabs";
PrefabUtility.CreatePrefab("Assets/Resources/" + prefabPath + "/" + go.name + ".prefab", go, ReplacePrefabOptions.ReplaceNameBased);
The PrefabUtility class comes up as red in mono develop. Unity cant find it for some reason.
You need to put
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
#endif
at the start of the script.
However, I just realized that it's not possible to save prefabs in a Build, so you can disregard this answer.
You will have to save the relevant information regarding color, head etc. as variable values and use these to reconstruct the desired robot.
nvm i imported the unity editor which had the prefabutiltiy class in it
