Prefab collections can be created by right clicking existing prefabs and choosing "Create Prefab Collection" from the context menu. This saves up some manual work of adding prefabs to your collections asset by hand


[P.S. The menu was there but was not implemented]

[Ali Akbar]

Fixed a load issue bug with prefab collections in some cases by using soft object pointer instead of UObject* to reference the prefab assets. This doesn't break existing prefab collections

[Ali Akbar]

Added versioning to the serialized prefab assets

[Ali Akbar]

Fixed an issue where detail panel buttons on the multiple selected prefab actors were working only on the first selected actor

Submitted a new version to the marketplace for approval

Version 1.0.5

• Prefab Collection asset can be created by right clicking on multiple selected prefab assets
• Fixed an issue where detail panel buttons on the multiple selected prefab actors were working only on the first selected actor
• Added version number to the serialized prefab asset and asset collection
• Updated prefab collection asset data structure to use soft object pointer instead of direct uobject reference of prefab assets

The new version should show up in the launcher in a few days, however if you want the new build now, you can get the windows binaries from here

Ali Akbar It's a lovely plugin. I don't know if anyone else has this, but it wont play with Mary Nate's Prefab Tool. You can't have both installed at the same time. Just wondering...

Sorry for posting a couple of bugs / features, but maybe you don't know about them.

I'm having a problem with undo, this is about as simple as I can make it:

Drag one cube into an empty level, make it a prefab. Alt drag a copy of that prefab. Select them both and make a nested prefab.

Now press ctrl-z a few times.

BOOM - crash.

Also, there's something going on with making nested prefabs and then renaming / moving between folders in the content browser. The nested prefab loses it's connection to it's components.

Do you know about this, or shall I repoduce it?

The items can be moved back and it's ok, but...

I really love the randomization feature BTW

tib_hou Thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look

Hi,

I currently try to convert objects of a scene of mine to prefabs, but I have some really annoying problems.

The first one is that when I create a prefab from some actors in the scene, sub-objects of the hierarchy are not saved in the prefab.
(e.g, I had a window with handles parented to the window frames.)

And finally, when I save my scene and then reload, some prefabs are not loaded correctly any-more. Some prefabs are loading other prefabs. ???

For information, I use UE4 4.21.2

I hope these bugs will be fixed soon, because it really seem to be a wonderful tool.
