Prefab editor

[Brutile]

I'm sure this would have been asked before, but can we have the ability to edit prefab properties without having to drag it into the scene, then save over the original?

You can open a prefab file in the same way as a .map

[Brutile]

Really? O.o

I'll have to try it out.

Thanks!

[tjheldna]

Yep and use File->Save to save. no need to right click on it again and save as prefab.

What about exporting prefabs to be used in other projects?

[macklebee]

You would just have to copy the models, scripts, and prefabs over to the other project. Just make sure you place all the items that make the prefab in the same place or it will not work (or just require you to make the prefab again).

I do like the idea of a little window to view prefabs. I would not try to make it super editable, because that's what the map editor is for. (Prefabs are just map files with a single top-level object.)

[SpEcIeS]

Yeah. I already tarball up prefabs, however it would be nice, and convenient, to have built in feature that does this for the developer. Rather than chasing files down and putting them into a package. Something like right clicking on the prefab and having an export option that grabs all the related material placing them into a package (zip).
