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

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 Ve...

I am super excited to work towards my goal. * The image has been taken from google images and is used only for testing purpose.

Create Unity Custom Editor - Basics (Part 4)

In the last lesson we linked our custom editor script with our test script. In this lesson we are going to create some custom GUI elements. So lets get started with that 1) Jump to the Editor Script and comment out the DrawDefaultInspector() so that we can start adding our own custom elements Lets get started with introducing some GUI elements that we can create inside the inspector The most basic one is a label 2) We will be using EditorGUILayout class to show our label inside the inspector. This class has got tons of other types of functions which you can use Goto this link and checkout the other functions available inside the EditorGUILayout class. I would recommend to spend sometime on those functions provided and try to implement all of those so that you can get an idea of how you can use different GUI elements to represent custom inspectors. 3) Now when we go back to unity we will see a label showing inside our inspector. Now this concludes that ...
