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

Detect If Your Device Is Connected To Wifi using Python

Have you ever wanted to see the list of devices connected to your local home network? Linux provides a cool solution to list all the devices connected to your network using arp scanning. You need to follow these simple steps:(These are for Linux) 1) Make sure you have arp-scan package installed (if not use  sudo apt-get install arp-scan  command in terminal to install the package) 2) In order to verify type  sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet   in terminal. You will probably see the list of devices connected to your local network using wifi. This sets our base and now we can move on to write our python script to detect particular devices and see  there status if its connected to wifi or not. NOTE: We need to know the mac address of the devices we want to track. Now Let's create a new python script and name it anything you like and paste this code  I named mine detectDeviceOnWifi.py Now run your script using  sudo python detectDeviceOnWifi.py  in

Create Unity Custom Editor - Basics (Part 5)

In this lesson we will create some layout for our custom inspector to have a better control on the layout of our inspector window We will start with EdiorGUILayout Class In our code write After clicking save when we go back to unity we will see all our GUI elements in a single horizontal line. This is not what we want. So to fix this we add our GUI elements inside BeginVertical and EndVertical Layout. Now our Code will look like this Clicking on save we will notice our layout gets change back to vertical and all the GUI elements get stacked on top of each other One more feature that these layout allow us is adjusting the space between GUI elements In our code we will add In the horizontal layout we add GUILayout.Space(10)  to add 10px space on both ends of the horizontal layout Now we can go further and add space between our GUI elements by adding  GUILayout.Space(10) between our GUI elements In our code we will add Since we are in a Vertical Co
