This video could probably be titled “nested prefabs” because we spend a bunch of time making sure that our prefabbing is all correctly set up. Any questions or anything to share?
When I use the “revert” option, it deletes the data, for example, if I use revert on the weapon’s camera, it goes from having a camera assigned to not having any.
So the important thing here is to figure out where the “source of truth” is. If you are working from a prefab that has been modified and you revert then it will return to whatever the pre-modification was. So perhaps your weapon’s camera is on a different prefab or instance to where you think it should be.

One of the reasons why I´m loving this course is because I’m doing things I wouldn’t normally do, like a Low Poly Futuristic Shotgun, I never really liked FPS but apparently I somewhat good at making weapons which is ironically hilarious.

I’d like to share my weapon prefabs for my 3 types of weapons.
(I also upgrade the project to the Universal Rendering Pipeline for better looks!)

Hi, I have a question. I’m using a shotgun instance and when I make any changes to it in the Hierarchy (for example to the scale of the transform), I can’t seem to be able to apply the changes to the prefab. The “Overrides” button simply isn’t there. I would like to know why…
Please see the attached image.
I don’t think you can override changes to a prefab if it’s a child of another prefab (“nested”). Apply changes directly to the shotgun in prefab mode or temporarily orphan it to save changes then put it back.

Thank you for the reply! “Orphaning” it worked well.
