SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the need to duplicate and relocate assets within a Unity project, ensuring that all necessary files are correctly copied and the project's asset database is updated.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Asset Duplication: Copy assets from a source path to a destination path.
  • Database Refresh: Automatically calls AssetDatabase.Refresh() after copying to ensure the Unity editor recognizes the changes.

How do I copy Unity assets between project folders?▼

To copy Unity assets, specify valid source and destination paths within your project. This Skill duplicates the files and refreshes the AssetDatabase so the editor recognizes the changes immediately.

How do I duplicate prefabs and materials for a new game module in Unity?▼

Duplicating prefabs and materials is handled by copying the assets from their source path to a new destination path. The AssetDatabase is then refreshed to ensure Unity sees the new assets.

Do I need to manually refresh the AssetDatabase after copying files in Unity?▼

What happens if the source or destination path is invalid when copying project assets?▼

Copying project assets requires valid source and destination paths to operate. If the paths are invalid, the asset duplication and relocation process will fail to execute correctly.

Can I use this to back up Unity project assets?▼

Yes, you can back up Unity project assets by copying them from a source path to a backup destination path. The Skill handles the file copy and updates the AssetDatabase automatically.
