Anyway to intercept the event of drag and dropping a prefab into the scene during play mode?

Unity Engine

Hi,
I’m wondering if there is some sort of event or trigger that I can hook into for whenever I drag/drop a prefab into the scene during play mode in the editor.

Thanks.

I just stared at this and didn’t see anything:

So close too…

I wonder if you can do something with Transform.HasChanged checks? Hm.

You could do this:
Add a script to the prefab and use either Start() or OnEnable()

OnEnable()
{
    //Do stuff
    Debug.Log("I'm a dragged and dropped prefab");
}

As an alternative to drag-drop, you could do this:
Use a manager script and PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab

[SerializeField] private GameObject prefab;

public void SpawnPrefab()
{
    var myPrefab = PrefabUtility.Instantiate(prefab) as GameObject;
    //now you have a reference to the prefab
    //trigger an event
}
