Title: Get Prefab by name and store it into GameObject Global Variable
Post by: Handrews on December 02, 2020, 06:45:39 PM

Basically I need a way to find a Prefab on my Assets folder using his name and then store it into GameObject variable to use it on Create Object...

Use Resources Load with asset path, then store it as you like.

Ok i made it using Build String to create a path using the name stored in the variable...but now "Resources Load" seems to not be working or not recognizing the path (Assets/FireBolt1.prefab) and i don't know why...

Hi.
You need to place the things you want to load into a 'Resources' folder.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html

So for example if you have your fire bolt in a folder like this :

Assets/Some folder/Some subfolder/Resources/Bolts/FireBolt1.prefab

Then you would load it with "Bolts/FireBolt"
