Lock and expose prefab properties to simplify editing. Ideal for teams and projects with multiple prefab variations, ensuring consistency and easy access to essential properties.OverviewThe Lockable Prefab component allows you to streamline your workflow by locking prefabs in Unity, hiding unnecessary components and nested objects, and exposing only the properties you need to edit. This is ideal for teams working on large projects where prefab consistency and ease of use are crucial.Adding the Lockable Prefab ComponentSelect Your Prefab: In the Unity Editor, select the prefab you want to lock.Add the Component: In the Inspector, add the `Lockable Prefab` component.Locking and Unlocking the PrefabLocking: Click the "Lock" button to hide all components and nested objects within the prefab. Only the exposed properties will remain visible and editable.Unlocking: Click the "Unlock" button to restore the visibility of all components and nested objects.Exposing PropertiesSelecting Exposed Properties: After locking the prefab, click "Select Exposed Properties" to choose which properties to expose. These properties will remain editable even when the prefab is locked.Use CasesTeam CollaborationFocused Editing for Level Designers:In a team environment, developers can create complex prefabs and expose only the necessary properties for level designers or other team members. This ensures that the prefab’s core structure remains intact, while designers can freely adjust the exposed properties, such as colors, positions, or materials, without risk of accidental changes to critical components.Managing Multiple Prefab VariationsEfficiently Edit Prefab Variations:When working with a large number of prefabs that are similar but require slight variations, this asset makes it easy to manage those differences. By locking the prefab and exposing only the properties that need tweaking, you can quickly adjust multiple prefabs without sifting through unnecessary components, leading to a more streamlined workflow.Best PracticesUse Locking for Consistency: Locking your prefabs ensures consistency across your project, especially when multiple team members are involved. This reduces the chances of unintentional changes to essential parts of the prefab.Expose Only What’s Necessary: Keeping the Inspector clean by exposing only the relevant properties helps maintain focus on what matters most, making the editing process faster and more intuitive.SupportFor support or more information, please contact me on Discord: @DJICore or visit our website at https://inkscape-rr.comKey FeaturesLock Prefabs: Simplify the Inspector by locking prefabs, making only exposed properties editable.Expose Properties: Choose which properties to expose for editing, ensuring that only relevant details are accessible.
