Description

Use this class to implement specialized versions of the built-in transform tools. Built-in transform tools include Move, Rotate, Scale, Rect, and Transform.

// EditorToolContextAttribute is what registers a context with the UI.
[EditorToolContext("Wobbly Transform Tools")]
// The icon path can also be used with packages. Ex "Packages/com.wobblestudio.wobblytools/Icons/Transform.png".
[Icon("Assets/Examples/Icons/TransformIcon.png")]
public class WobbleContext : EditorToolContext
{
    // Tool contexts can also implement an OnToolGUI function that is invoked before tools. This is a good place to
    // add any custom selection logic, for example.
    public override void OnToolGUI(EditorWindow _) { }

    {
        switch (tool)

            // activating the tool.
            case Tool.Move:
                return typeof(WobblyMoveTool);
            // For any tools that are not implemented, return null to disable the tool in the menu.
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

OnToolGUIImplements any common functionality for the set of manipulation tools available for this context.
OnWillBeDeactivatedInvoked before this EditorToolContext stops being the active tool context.

Inherited Members

Properties

nameThe name of the object.

Public Methods

GetInstanceIDGets the instance ID of the object.
ToStringReturns the name of the object.

Static Methods

DestroyRemoves a GameObject, component or asset.

InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.
CreateInstanceCreates an instance of a scriptable object.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
