Labeling objects in the scene editor view
I'm working on a scene with a lot of objects that are visually identical but which I need to see the game object name for. I looked at using the OnDrawGizmos() method, but there doesn't seem to be a Gizmos.DrawText or similar. Is there a way to write the object's name next to it in the scene editor view but not in the game?
See Handles.Label for information on how to draw text in the scene view.
Handles is an Editor class, so you'll need something like this in a script in your Editor folder (C#):
[DrawGizmo(GizmoType.SelectedOrChild | GizmoType.NotSelected)]
static void DrawGameObjectName(Transform transform, GizmoType gizmoType)
{
Handles.Label(transform.position, transform.gameObject.name);
}
Note that this adds a gizmo for every Transform in the scene, so it will show for every game object.
Share the full class, it was difficult to find a post sharing the complete class, since this has to be an editor for Transform or GameObject
Is there a way to search the scene for all objects that are assets with a certain label? I'm trying to search l:Dynamic for objects that have the Dynamic tag but it only finds in the project, not in the scene.
And for some other color:
GUIStyle style = new GUIStyle();
style.normal.textColor = Color.red;
Handles.Label(transform.position, transform.gameObject.name, style);
