Prefab of a Prefab Variant of a PSB?

Unity Engine

i need to create a Prefab of a Prefab Variant of a PSB file (a rigged avatar). I know, it sounds weird.

I created a Variant of my PSB because I want it to reflect changes to my PSB.

I have several script components and their values I need to attach to the Variant. After doing that, I need to create a reusable prefab of this Variant.

when I drag my Prefab Variant into the scene, add my scripts and then save that as a Prefab, the Variant is lost - that is, it is no longer a Variant.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks for any clarifications!

Hey,

I actually do this all the time.

When you drag the variant into your project tab to create a new prefab, don’t choose “Original Prefab,” choose “Prefab Variant.” If you select original prefab, it creates a new prefab without any ties to any other prefabs.

You can create variants of variants of variants of variants, and the only limitation is how confused you’re willing to be.

If anything is unclear, please let me know.

Yes, that is what I was doing.

I think I answered my question - that is all I need a prefab variant. It is the prefab I can reuse.
