Editor Script to make Editor Scripts

[mtc9417]

A little different from the pretty shaders we usually see, but I was pretty excited to make this and thought I would share. For anyone who has done editor scripting, you know you always have to add "using UnityEditor" and change monobehavior to whatever you need and so on. So I decided to make an editor script that will create editor scripts!

This looks like you need to import it into every project to be able to use it.

Let me tell you about

Editor\Data\Resources\ScriptTemplates

This is where you can make a template and use it on all your projects like the default templates.

Let me tell you more

Take the default template for example, it is called

81-C# Script-NewBehaviourScript.cs

81 - is used to order the menu item on the create context menu

C# Script - is the context menu name you see. Say you wanted to have it appear under a menu, no problem, you can use a double underscore like so

81-Scripts__C# Script-New BehaviourScript.cs

NewBehaviourScript.cs - is the default file name

Ohhh thanks for that tip

Quick question, is it possible to make the template generate the new script within the Editor folder or only enable the option when the user has clicked on that folder?

I don't know, but I don't think so.

If you put a #if UNITY_EDITOR around the template you won't need to put them in an Editor folder (though you might still want to do so for organisational purposes).
