Question by rustofelees · Feb 20, 2016 at 02:35 AM · asset storereferencetools

Asset store tool for finding in scene references

Are there currently any tools, in the asset store or otherwise, that will allow me to determine whether or not a game object is being referenced by another game object(s) script. A few examples of what I'm looking to do:

  1. I have a game object in my scene and I'd like to know if that game object is referenced by any other components on any game object in a scene.

  2. I have prefabs in my project and I'd like to know if they're being referenced by a script component that is attached to scenes game objects.

Essentially, I'm looking for a reference finder, such that I can determine whether an object is being referenced by a public variable in any given component that's on another object.

Do you know of any existing tools that do something similar?

I didn't know you could right click on prefabs and find references in the scene so that takes care of number 2 but I still haven't seen any resources to solve number 1. Help?

Can you please take a look at my answer? I think Asset Usage Finder solves your problem quite well. If so, please mark it as a solution. Thanks!

Hi, there's a tool called Asset Usage Finder which provides both features you have mentioned, including the first one - GameObject search in Scene.

In brief:

  • it shows you particular fields where your asset is used

  • lets you easily replace it

  • searches for usages of assets that are using your one


Asset Store link:

NOTE: I'm one of the authors of Asset Usage Finder and I will be happy to answer your questions

UPDATE: v3.0 was released! More than 20x faster compared to 2.0 version
