Description

Derive from this class to create an editor wizard.

Editor wizards are typically opened using a menu item.

// Creates a simple wizard that lets you create a Light GameObject
// or if the user clicks in "Apply", it will set the color of the currently
// object selected to red

using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine;

public class WizardCreateLight : ScriptableWizard { public float range = 500; public Color color = Color.red;

[MenuItem("GameObject/Create Light Wizard")] static void CreateWizard() { ScriptableWizard.DisplayWizard<WizardCreateLight>("Create Light", "Create", "Apply"); //If you don't want to use the secondary button simply leave it out: //ScriptableWizard.DisplayWizard<WizardCreateLight>("Create Light", "Create"); }

void OnWizardCreate() { GameObject go = new GameObject("New Light"); Light lt = go.AddComponent<Light>(); lt.range = range; lt.color = color; }

void OnWizardUpdate() { helpString = "Please set the color of the light!"; }

// When the user presses the "Apply" button OnWizardOtherButton is called. void OnWizardOtherButton() { if (Selection.activeTransform != null) { Light lt = Selection.activeTransform.GetComponent<Light>();

if (lt != null) { lt.color = Color.red; } } } }
