How to specify something not to be saved in a scene?
I have a bunch of GameObjects in the scene called Node and Path. Path uses Nodes to dynamically create a mesh and assign it to the MeshFilter component. I create the mesh during OnValidate of Path. This way I can see a curve road being rendered on both the scene view and the game view as I edit the scene. I can drag the Node and see the Paths referencing it being updated.
Problem is, I only want to save the Node and the Path, which refers to a list of Node. I do not want to save the Mesh gets generated dynamically into the scene because I want them to be generated during game play.
Is there anyway to do it? Thanks
What you need is to set the objects's hideFlags to any combination with DontSave. It's actually a bitmask (since it's called "flags"). Every UnityEngine.Object derived class has this. So it can be used even on Materials, Meshes, GameObjects, Components, ...
The Unity editor actually has additional GameObject in your scene which are marked as HideAndDontSave. For example: The sceneview camera and some lights for the scene view.
