Paste As Child To All Selected Parents

Menu Path: GameObject > LogicCuteGuy > Paste As Child To All Selected Parents...

This tool supercharges your "Copy-Paste" workflow by allowing you to take one or more "Source" objects and paste copies of them into multiple destination "Parents" simultaneously.

Features​

  • Multi-Source Support: Set a group of objects as your source "clipboard".
  • Multi-Parent Support: Select multiple GameObjects in the hierarchy as targets for the paste operation.
  • Paste Modes:
    • Preserve World: Keeps the copies in their current global position while re-parenting.
    • Copy Source Local: Force-copies the local Pos/Rot/Scale from the source objects to the new copies.
    • Reset Local: Pastes copies and immediately resets their local transform to Zero/Identity (0,0,0 position and rotation).
  • Prefab Intelligence: If a source is a Prefab Asset, the tool instantiates it as a Prefab Instance, preserving the link for future updates.

How to Use​

  1. Select your target objects and click Set Sources From Selection.
  2. Select one or more Parent GameObjects in the Hierarchy.
  3. Choose your Paste Mode.
  4. Click Paste To Selected Parents.

[!TIP] Use this to quickly populate a scene with props. For example, select a "Chair" prefab as source, then select 10 "Table" objects and paste. Each table will now have a chair child correctly instantiated.
