Unity Script Reference – ScriptableWizard

ScriptableWizard Inherits from EditorWindow

Derive from this class to create an editor wizard.

Note: This is an editor class. To use it you have to place your script in Assets/Editor inside your project folder. Editor classes are in the UnityEditor namespace so for C# scripts you need to add "using UnityEditor;" at the beginning of the script.

Editor wizards are typically opened using a menu item.

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

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

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");
go.AddComponent("Light");
go.light.range = range;
go.light.color = color;
}
void OnWizardUpdate () {
helpString = "Please set the color of the light!";
}
// When the user pressed the "Apply" button OnWizardOtherButton is called.
void OnWizardOtherButton () {
if (Selection.activeTransform == null ||
Selection.activeTransform.light == null) return;
Selection.activeTransform.light.color = Color.red;
}
}
