Retrieve Object Prefab name (207564)

[Rukas90]

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve object prefab name. I know that I can do that using:

PrefabUtility.GetPrefabParent(gameObject).name

but the problem is that it only works inside editor. I’m working on the ‘SelectionManager’ in my game and right now I want to make double click on an object and select multiple same objects method, but I first want to somehow tag all the objects so that when I double click on a curtain object it would only select objects with the same type / tag. I thought about making an enum, but getting a name is much more simple and convenient.

Are there any ways in getting the prefab name outside the editor? Also maybe it’s possible to somehow get the original gameObject name without counter tag?

Or are there any better way’s in making something like this? Thank you

I think what you’re looking for is Tags:

Unity - Manual: Tags

Tag all of your objects with the same tag, you can use FindGameObjectsWithTag to select them all.

GameObject[] dogs;

void Start()
{
    dogs = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("dog");
}

void Update()
{
   //Check for double click
   //if doubleclick then select all the dogs
      foreach (GameObject dog in dogs)
      {
             SelectionManager.Select(dog);
      }

}

Obviously you’ll need to flesh out the code a bit but you get the idea
