Create Unity Custom Editor - Basics (Part 2)

In the previous part we basically created a fundamental structure setup for us to create an Inspector Editor.

Now we will start creating some scripts so lets dive in.

1) Create a new C# script (TestScript) inside the Scripts folder we created in part 1( You can name anything related to your project but to keep things simple for this lesson i am taking this name)

2)Create a new C# script (TestScriptEditor) inside the Editor folder we created in part 1( We named it accordingly so that we know that it is an editor script which will be used as a custom inspector)

3) Open the Scripts inside Monodevelop or any other Editor that you use for editing the scripts.

Now this basically sets up our core structure for creating custom inspectors inside unity.

In the next lesson we will cover the editor engine up and running inside of unity.
What are you waiting for lets jump into the next lesson

So lets start by adding a sample icon to our GUI elements. I'll be using this image as a sample You can use any image that you would like to based on your needs. We need to import this image inside Unity. Create a folder named Resources inside the Editor Folder and then import the image inside this folder like this Now select the image and set the texture property to GUI as we will be using this image for our GUI elements. Now in our Code add the following lines We create a Texture2D object to hold our GUI texture that we just imported. We create a GUIContent object that will help us to add text,icon and tooltip field to our GUI elements. In OnInspectorGUI() method we will load our texture from our resources folder. Next we add the image,text and tooltip to our GUIContent object
