Since the editor does not have a way to copy the child components of a game object and apply that copy to another game object, I am trying to make a Editor Wizard that will do this.

My wizard is able to copy the components presently, but cannot copy the values of the source.

Any ideas?

Here's what I have so far (below). The commented-out code doesn't work (so, for example, I know that CloneComponent will just make clones in the source - makes a mess so don't use - it will duplicate your transform components, for example - not good!). I left the comments in so folks realize that I've tried the obvious code from the reference and so we don't "reinvent the broken wheel" so to speak.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;
// CopyComponents - by Michael L. Croswell for Colorado Game Coders, LLC
// March 2010

public class CopyComponents : ScriptableWizard
{   
    public bool copyValues = true;  
    public GameObject fromObject;
    public GameObject toObject;

[MenuItem ("Custom/Copy Components")]


static void CreateWizard ()
{
    ScriptableWizard.DisplayWizard("Copy Components", typeof(CopyComponents), "Copy");  
}

void OnWizardCreate ()
{
    //foreach (GameObject go in fromObject.GetFiltered(typeof(GameObject), SelectionMode.TopLevel))
    Component[] fromComps = fromObject.GetComponents(typeof(Component));
    Component[] toComps = toObject.GetComponents(typeof(Component));
    string msg = "";
    msg += "FromObject total components count is " + fromComps.Length;
    msg += "\nToObject total components count is " + toComps.Length;    
    /// Blows up Unity iPhone: EditorUtility.CopySerialized(fromObject, toObject); // Source to Destination 
    /// return;
    int i = 0;
    for (i=0; i<fromComps.Length; i++)
    {
        string t1 = fromComps[i].GetType().Name;
        string t2 = "";
        msg += "\n#" + i + " is type " + t1;
        if (i < toComps.Length)
            t2 = toComps[i].GetType().Name;
        if (t2 != t1)
            {
                //if (copyValues)
                //  toObject.AddComponent(EditorUtility.CloneComponent(fromComps[i]));
                //else
                toObject.AddComponent(fromComps[i].GetType());
                toComps = toObject.GetComponents(typeof(Component));
                if (i<toComps.Length)
                {
                    Debug.Log("toComps.Length is " + toComps.Length + " i is " + i);
                    // Not good at all: EditorUtility.CopySerialized(fromComps[i], toComps[i]); // Source to Destination      
                    toComps[i] = fromComps[i];  // Does nothing apparently. 
                    // This doesn't work it just duplicates inside fromObject: EditorUtility.CloneComponent(fromComps[i]);
                    msg += "\t Add To: Increasing toObject component count to " + toComps.Length;
                }
                else
                {
                        msg += "\t Problem: i is " + i + " but toComps is only " + toComps.Length;
                }
            }
        else
        {
            if (copyValues)
            {
               // Doesn't make a difference: Destroy(toComps[i]);
                //Duplicates in Source (not good either): toObject.AddComponent(EditorUtility.CloneComponent(fromComps[i]));
                // Not good: EditorUtility.CopySerialized(fromComps[i], toComps[i]); // Source to Destination      
               toComps[i] = fromComps[i]; //Does nothing.  
               // Trouble here also: EditorUtility.CloneComponent(fromComps[i]);
               msg += "\t Cloned values.";
            }
        }   
    }

    EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Game Object Facts",  msg , "OK", "");
}

}

Thanks in advance!
