Unity GUID Component & Reference

GUID Component & Reference

Unity GUID based cross-scene reference component with robust GUID generation and quality UX.

Please note, Unity-Technologies has its own implementation:

• https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/guid-based-reference

How To

1. Add GUIDComponent to GameObject

2. Add GUIDReference field to your script

[SerializeField]
private GUIDReference m_Reference;

3. Resolve at runtime

// Resolve via GUIDReference
var component = m_Reference.GetComponent<GUIDComponent>();

// Resolve via GUIDComponent
var component = GUIDComponent.Find("OBJECT-GUID-HERE");

Features

• Safe - GUIDComponent ignores component resets and prefab reverts. You will never lose your generated GUIDs. The only way to erase existing GUID is manually component removing.

• Easy - GUIDs are generated automatically and respect object duplication.

• Handy - Open/Close referenced scenes from property context menu or with double-click.

• Neat - GUIDReference property drawer looks like general object field.
