Overview of this book

Unity is a cross-platform game engine that provides you with powerful but simple-to-use features to solve the most common problems in Game Development, such as rendering, animation, physics, sound, and effects. You’ll learn to use these features to create simple but complete games (and all the nuances needed to handle Unity). Complete with hands-on tutorials and projects, this book will teach you to use the Unity game engine, create C# and visual scripts, integrate graphics, sound, and animations, and manipulate physics to create interesting mechanics for your game. You’ll then code a simple AI agent to challenge the user and work with profiling tools to ensure code efficiency. Finally, you'll work with Unity's AR tools to create AR experiences for 3D apps and games before publishing them to the world. If you are interested in creating impressive, commercial-quality games that are playable on a variety of platforms, then you’ve come to the right place.

Prefabs

In the previous example, we created lots of copies of our enemy around the scene, but in doing so, we have created a new problem. Let’s imagine we need to change our enemy and add a Rigidbody component to it, but because we have several copies of the same object, we need to take them one by one and add the same component to all of them. Maybe later, we will need to change the mass of each enemy, so again, we need to go over each one of the enemies and make the change, and here we can start to see a pattern. One solution could be to select all the enemies using the Ctrl key (Command on a Mac) and modify all of them at once, but that solution won’t be of any use if we have enemy copies in other scenes. So, here is where Prefabs come in.

In this section, we will cover the following concepts related to Prefabs:

  • Creating Prefabs
  • Prefab-instance relationship
  • Prefab variants

Let’s start by discussing how to create and use Prefabs...
