Get prefab's path in file system
Hi all. I have game object on my scene, it's prefab. I want to find it on assets. I tried to find it, using AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath, but it returns nulls. Here's the code:
[MenuItem("Custom/Check item")]
private static void CheckSelection()
{
if (Selection.activeGameObject == null) {
Debug.LogError("No item selected");
return;
}
var go = PrefabUtility.FindPrefabRoot(Selection.activeGameObject);
Debug.Log(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(go) + " " + AssetDatabase.Contains(go));
}
What's the right way to find prefab in file system?

Ops, i found answer. I needed to use PrefabUtility.GetPrefabParent instead of FindPrefabRoot:
var go = PrefabUtility.GetPrefabParent(Selection.activeGameObject);
Debug.Log(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(go) + " " + AssetDatabase.Contains(go));
If you need find object in Prefabs, Material, Scene, by GUID https://gist.github.com/AndreySkyFoxSidorov/977e5b0a91b3bc3e2acf53917e32f410
Click Right-click select "Find GUID in Prefabs Material Scene" the object to find in Prefabs, Material, Scene, by GUID.
