Changes the name of the selected GameObject.

// Automatically change the name of the selected object via a text field

class EditorGUILayoutTextField extends EditorWindow {
var objectName : String = "";
@MenuItem("Examples/GUILayout TextField")
static function Init() {
var window = GetWindow(EditorGUILayoutTextField);
window.Show();
}
function OnGUI() {
GUILayout.Label("Select an object in the hierarchy view");
if(Selection.activeGameObject)
Selection.activeGameObject.name =
EditorGUILayout.TextField("Object Name: ", Selection.activeGameObject.name);
this.Repaint();
}
}
