Create a prefab

Beginner Designer

In the Asset view, click Add asset and select Prefabs > Prefab.

Game Studio creates an empty prefab asset with the default name Prefab. Double-click the asset to open the Prefab Editor and add entities.

Create a prefab from an entity

You can also create a prefab from an existing entity or entities.

1. In the Scene editor, select the entity or entities you want to create a prefab from.

Tip

Hold Ctrl to select multiple items.

2. Right-click the selection and select Create prefab from selection:

Game Studio creates a prefab asset from the entity or entities you selected. You can access the new prefab from the Asset view.

Note

After you create a prefab from a selection, the original selection itself becomes a prefab.

Create a prefab from an existing modified prefab

You can create new prefabs from modified prefabs. For example, you can instantiate a prefab, override one of its properties, then use this modified prefab instance to create a new prefab.
