[Unity 2018.3.0b3] Prefab loss reference to child objects when moved to scene
Hi, i have problem with prefabs. In new prefab editor my references to prefab's childs objects are there. But when I drag'n'drop to scene (or create instance via script), the reference are gone and I got null ref exception. Do anyone have same issue?
Okay, I think I know what's going on, the prefabs was created before update Unity to newer version, that's why they loosing data after instantiate (what is not cool!). When I manually recreate them on scene and then apply changes, that works. But I also using some 3rd part very complex prefabs which also not working with my version. I will try to the newest beta version (b5) and check if that works
"Reimport All" did the trick, works now
This happened to me as well, and "Reimport All" didn't work. However:
My problem was with Odin plugin's [ShowInInspector] attribute to a private field. After I changed [ShowInInspector] to [SerializeField] it worked fine.
This helped me a lot. Also, if you know which specific prefab is broken, you can do just a Reimport on that prefab to save some time.
