Save changes to GameObject with Editor Script

Unity Engine
1

Hi, I’ve made a script that sets some transforms references to some gameObjects which i call via menuItem which finds every Point and calls a method that modifies the following values:

The information that I modify is a reference to another object component (Point)
My problem here is that whenever I enter playmode or leave the scene the changes are reset. Since these attributes are not (int,float,…) i don’t know how a serialized field would work here.
Any help would be appreciated

What you need is this function:

Unity does not save the changes you made via script unless explicitly told to.

Hi I’ve tried doing that like as following:

But the changes still reset after entering play mode (with or without Save scene also)

I think you need to reference the component that was changed in this case its the Script that is including the left variable.

Yup that was the problem, rookie mistake
Thanks!

Thank you, kind sir. In Editor script:

  1. Make your changes to prefab instances
  2. Call PrefabUtility.RecordPrefabInstancePropertyModifications(referenceToComponent);
  3. Save the scene (in the script or manually)
    Now the edits made in the Editor script are persisted in the scene.
