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)

            // Return the type of tool to be used for Tool.Move. The Tool Manager will handle instantiating and
            // 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;
        }
    }

Properties

targetThe object being inspected.
targetsAn array of the objects being inspected.

Public Methods

GetAdditionalToolTypesGet an additional collection of tools to display in the same category as the built-in transform tools.
OnActivatedInvoked after this EditorToolContext becomes the active tool context.
OnToolGUIImplements any common functionality for the set of manipulation tools available for this context.
OnWillBeDeactivatedInvoked before this EditorToolContext stops being the active tool context.
PopulateMenuAdds menu items to the Scene view context menu.
ResolveToolReturns the matching EditorTool type for the specified Tool given the context.

Protected Methods

GetEditorToolTypeDefines the EditorTool type for a given Tool.

Inherited Members

Properties

hideFlagsShould the object be hidden, saved with the Scene or modifiable by the user?
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.
DestroyImmediateDestroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoadDo not destroy the target Object when loading a new Scene.
FindAnyObjectByTypeRetrieves any active loaded object of Type type.
FindFirstObjectByTypeRetrieves the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsByTypeRetrieves a list of all loaded objects of Type type.
InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.
InstantiateAsyncCaptures a snapshot of the original object (that must be related to some GameObject) and returns the AsyncInstantiateOperation.
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.

Messages

AwakeCalled when an instance of ScriptableObject is created.
OnDestroyThis function is called when the scriptable object will be destroyed.
OnDisableThis function is called when the scriptable object goes out of scope.
OnEnableThis function is called when the object is loaded.
