Description
A Preset contains default values for an Object.
The Preset class contains the type of the Object used to create it and a list of each serialized property/value pair of this Object.
It can be used to store informations from any serializable Object in the Editor and apply them back to this Object or any other Object of the same type.
Presets can also be saved as Assets using the .preset extension in order to.
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Presets;
using UnityEngine;
public static class PresetUsageExample
{
// This method uses a Preset to copy the serialized values from the source to the target and return true if the copy succeed.
public static bool CopyObjectSerialization(Object source, Object target)
{
Preset preset = new Preset(source);
return preset.ApplyTo(target);
}
// This method creates a Preset from a given Object and save it as an asset in the project.
public static void CreatePresetAsset(Object source, string name)
{
Preset preset = new Preset(source);
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(preset, "Assets/" + name + ".preset");
}
}
