Creating a custom script that extends other scripts in Editor
I have a base class called BaseObject.cs.
I'm trying to create a script for the Unity editor (Editor script) such that it will automatically create a new c# script called "`TestScript.cs`" of type TestScript that extends BaseObject.
Is this possible?
Sure but you need to actually create the .cs file:
File.WriteAllText(filenameInAssets, yourScriptAsAString);
AssetDatabase.Refresh();
var scriptObject = AssetDatabase.OpenAsset(AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(filename, typeof(MonoScript)));
Though you have to wait for the script to import and compile before accessing it properly.
Thanks! It seems that File.WriteAllText(filenameInAssets, yourScriptAsAString); doesn't recognise Unity editor's localpath. Is there anyway to convert the editor's local asset path to a global one so that File.WriteAllText can know where to store the file?
oh Thanks! yea, you are right. It works. I just need to have Assets at the front.
I just got a problem with this. So after creating the script in the assets folder, I added that to a gameobject. But I get this error:
Script TestComponent has not finished compilation yet. Please wait until compilation of the script has finished and try again.
UnityEngine.GameObject:AddComponent(String)
Looks like I cannot add directly the newly created script to the gameobject because the AssetDatabase.Refresh() is asynchronous. Is there a way to keep looping and check that when the refresh is ready then I start adding the script as a component to a gameobject?
