However, at run time, the variable points not at the prefab in the Project folder, but to the actua in-game GameObject. This reference is copied into a holder var before the object is destroyed. The Item also had a variable, myPrefab, that pointed to the prefab that it is a copy of. I have a script that goes on an Item object, and when the player collides with it the Item is added to the Inventory and the object is destroyed. For me, it's a slightly different situation, though. I have this same issue, and I really want to get it fixed.

In the mean-time, I'll start stripping back my code to see if I can uncover it. Something is triggering the change, but I don't know where to start my search. It does not set this reference anywhere in the code. My goal is to have this game object make copies of itself using the GUI Button. This is a pretty simple setup, but kind of hard to explain. When I drag the original prefab in to the scene, everything looks fine, but the when I use the UI to make an instance/clone, and look at the new clone in the inspector, the reference is no longer to the prefab, it is a self-reference to the clone in the scene. If I want an instance (clone) of the prefab to instanciate another clone of its prefab (meaning the reference in the prefab's script is referencing itself), I run in to a problem. The prefab to instantiate is a drag dropped reference on a transform parameter in the script. When the button is clicked it instanciates a prefab. 'Support for filling an existing object, instead of AutoMapper creating the destination object itself' was added in AutoMapper version 0.2.I have a script on a prefab which displays a GUI button. (Note that the code in the link does a shallow copy!) This applies recursively to all members, so you better make sure AutoMapper has mappings for member classes that you want to deep copy, and doesn't have mappings for member classes that you want to shallow copy.Īn alternative to using AutoMapper would be to use an approach using reflection. That is you have a deep copy.īut if AutoMapper does not have a Brain-Brain mapping before copying, then person1's Brain member will reference the same Brain instance as the one person2 references. If a member of the Person class is of say the class Brain and you additionally have done Mapper.CreateMap() before the copy data Mapper.Map(person2, person1) call, then person1 will keep its current Brain instance but this Brain will receive the member values of person2's Brain instance. Note 2: You need to be aware of that the (recursive) copying depth depends on what mappings AutoMapper knows about at the moment of mapping!

If you have other references to the instance that person1 points to, these will not get the (presumably) desired data update if you redirect the person1 variable to a new instance.

Note 1: answer creates a new instance of Person.

This copies member content from person2 into the _existing_ person1 instance. There is an overload of AutoMapper's Mapper.Map method that does this for you: Mapper.CreateMap()

As I understand the question, OP does not want to clone person2 into a new instance of Person, but is asking for how to copy the contents of person2 into an already existing instance ( person1) of Person.
