losing prefab

Unity Engine
1

I want to add a component in gameobject (prefab).
But will lose the prefab parent.
I don’t want to lose parent…
What can I do?

My character is a prefab.
I want to add boxcollider in its joint
So boxcollider will follow character’s joint doing animation.

Losing the prefab connection shouldnt be a big deal, just lose the connection, add whatever you need to do, then reconnect the object to the prefab.

Let´s say I have a modell and dragged a script onto it in hierachy-window.
The prefab-connection will be lost.

How can I reconnect to my asset-model without loosing my attached script?

4

Just use “apply changes to prefab”.

How do I “apply changes to prefab”?

Remember my steps:

  1. Save 3d-scene from Max into assetfolder
  2. Drag 3d-scene into hierachy
  3. Drag scripts onto 3d-objects of the 3d-scene (prefab connection gone)
  4. Change 3d-scene in Max and save
    5. Auto-update not working, need to drag all scripts once again!?
