Question by quill18 · Oct 02, 2012 at 08:45 PM · editorcustom editorgizmoonsceneguihandle

How to disable the default transform gizmo in editor?

I have put together a simple tool to build a basic mesh right in the editor by defining a series of points. The points can be tweaked via Editor.OnSceneGUI() and Handles.Slider2D(). However, the default transform gizmo is still there and gets in the way -- it often "steals" the mouse input when I'm trying to click on a custom gizmo that's just under it.

This snippet, placed inside of OnSceneGUI(), successfully prevents the default transform gizmo from being painted:

 if(Event.current.type == EventType.Layout || 
    Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint) {
       Event.current.Use();
 }

However, it also prevents the drawing of the scene view widget (in the top right corner), which seems slightly less than ideal. I feel that there must be an option (or a more selective filter on Event.current) that I could filter for that would do what I'm looking for, but my Google-fu is failing me today.

Know this is a little old but incase anyone else stumbles across this issue.

In your editor class:

 Tool lastTool = Tool.None;
 
 void OnEnable()
 {
     lastTool = Tools.current;
     Tools.current = Tool.None;
 }
 
 void OnDisable()
 {
     Tools.current = lastTool;
 }

And probably in your OnSceneGUI

 Tools.current = Tool.None;

This doesn't work if you want to use the tools for other things. For example, I want to move and rotate some custom handles inside of the object but the object itself isn't going to move or rotate so I want to hide the default.

This is useful information thank you, also your tip can be applied easily in the OnSceneGUI event so I'm unsure why you were down-voted originally

Dude! Thanks. I've had my own movement handles drawn in a CustomProperty, so I had to hide current tool to draw my own editor for that property.
