public static Object GetPrefabObject(Object targetObject)
Parameters
An object contained within a Prefab object.
Returns
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Object | The Prefab the object is contained in. |
Remarks
A Prefab internally consists of a Prefab object and the list of objects used for the Prefab. The Prefab object has a pointer to the root game object and if the Prefab is an instance then it also contains a pointer to the asset it was created from and a list of modifications done to the instance.
This checks if the object is part of a Prefab, either instance or asset. If so it returns the Prefab object.
