Follow-up on the layoff question, how much influence, if any do devs have on which project within a company they are assigned to if things seem rocky? Say I am in a safe position working on Call of Duty, and the company wants to put me on the risky position on Project Wombat, how much say if any do I have on if I am reassigned?

Ask a Game Dev

In such a situation, you have a little bit of leeway (e.g. you can ask and tell your boss that you don't want to change projects) but we're ultimately expected to follow orders. If we don't like our assignment, we are free to find a different job elsewhere. This does include the possibility of lateral transfer within the organization, e.g. somebody at Infinity Ward could apply to transfer to another COD studio if they did not want to move internally from COD to Project Wombat.

Is there anyway to get the node (or other components) directly from the prefab?

Cocos

For example, sometimes I may need to know how many sub nodes in the node of a prefab: const node = cc.instantiate(this.myPrefab); for(let i=0;i<node.children.length;i++){. } but at some situations I dont need to create this.myPrefab actually, but just only need to know the number of sub nodes in this.myPrefab in order to do other initialisation. Is there anyway to access the node (or other components) directly from the prefab without creating this.myPrefab actually?
