Override Editor Controls
Hi all, I've been wondering about this for a few days now, and gave up on it after not finding any answers after a fair whack of searching and just used different key controls. Essentially I have a level editor 'editor script' which allows me to grab objects, group grab, move, spawn and locks the object positions to a grid all on a very basic level which has been very useful in saving some time. Now I've been detecting input commands from the user with the Event class, along the lines of:
if( Event.current.type == EventType.KeyDown && Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.R )
Which works fine, however I would really like to make it so that I can left click to select objects, or place them and press Spacebar to toggle my editor modes.
Unfortunately left click selects a scene object and Spacebar maximises the current windows viewport. What I would to do is override these controls, so that when my custom inspector (which is my level editor script) is active, it does what I define in that script, is there a way to do this?
Unity obviously has this behaviour as if you edit a terrain, your left clicks don't select the terrain or other objects, they paint textures and such. I'm just not sure if it's exposed - would kinda suck for editor scripting if not though surely?
Anyone ever find a solution to achieve this functionality? I am interested in doing the same. For example, when a user presses delete while my level editor is being used, I do not want the default behavior of the Unity editor to be used.
I'm trying to do something very similar by creating an editor script that allows me to do something like Shift + Left Click on the scene to add waypoints but unfortunately this works the first time but then shift left click selects another object which changes the currently selected object. After a lot of searching I gave up as well and just went with a key combination to drop it at the mouse position.
