Copying Game Objects

Copying Game Objects

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 7 comments

Hi,

I know that this was mentioned ~3 years ago in #5, however I'm rather confused. On the latest release, there is no way to explicitly copy Game Objects in the way I think should be expected. My avatar has several things attached to the hands and they never get copied over to the new one. I end up having to manually copy and paste them into the new armature.

Could you please help me figure out the correct way to have these copied? I see there's a Transforms option, though to me that doesn't make as much sense as saying it's Game Objects.

There is no way to copy Game Objects alone but most components have the option to copy objects as well as the component when they get copied. The reason it works like this is because avatars with different armatures would end up with lots of useless gameobjects. Game objects get copied when the option is ticked in the component you're copying if it's referenced by something else being copied or if it's with a component you're copying.

So is it possible to add a Game Objects section that lets the user specify what they would like to copy?

I think that would be a great solution to this.

Possibly. Can you explain your use case/workflow? What do your game objects do?

They're just things that I happened to add in Unity and not Blender. The ring I have I can add easily, but I am not terribly familiar with making blend shape animations for the rest of the stuff for toggling them.

Granted that's my own fault for not relying on Blender, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who adds Game Objects like this via Unity only.

If it's a ring it's likely got a mesh renderer on it and you should be able to copy mesh renderers with game objects in their settings ticked.

Hm, okay. I didn't think about that. I'll check it out and see how it goes.

Answer 7 · 2021-08-11T18:24:04.000Z

Okay, just tried this out. Works perfectly! In all honesty, it sounds backwards when you think about the way this is, but regardless, thank you!
