Selecting a newly created empty prefab by an editor script
After creating an empty prefab through an editor script, how can I get the editor script to subsequently select the empty prefab in the asset folder?
I tried this:
var prefab = PrefabUtility.CreateEmptyPrefab("test.prefab");
AssetDatabase.Refresh();
Selection.activeObject = prefab;
But this doesn't select the prefab.
Could you let me know if the following works for you:
Selection.objects = new Object[] { prefab };
// the following line is optional but nice :)
EditorGUIUtility.PingObject(prefab);
Thanks! Selection.objects works! :D It seems that PingObject wouldn't work when I'm going to run Selection.objects. Putting PingObject before or after the Selection.objects doesn't ping the object. Remove the Selection.objects and the ping will appear but the object not selected.
Try the following ins$$anonymous$$d:
EditorInternalUtility.FocusInspectorWindow();
EditorGUIUtility.PingObject(prefab);
Selection.objects = new Object[] { prefab };
It looks like it couldn't resolve EditorInternalUtility. I tried InternalEditorUtility ins$$anonymous$$d but it doesn't have the method FocusInspectorWindow.
EditorInternalUtility is undocumented but it is working for me in both Unity 3.5.7 and 4.1.2. Obviously you need to have using UnityEditor; at the top of your script.
