Question by Amaresh · Jul 25, 2014 at 03:39 PM · unityeditor

Not Showing Tools Option in Unity Editor

Hey Guys! I'm using unity 4.5.2. and I don't whether it should be there or not, but I'm not seeing the tools option in the menu bar of the Editor. I've seen many youtube videos and they have that tools option along side MENU, EDIT and all that. Is there another way I can access it or it is something else.

Cheers!

You add this to your editor scripts. It's not there by default.

 using UnityEditor;
 
 public static class MenuItems
 {
     [MenuItem("Tools/YourTool/DoStuff")]
     public static void Stuff()
     {
         // ...
     }
 }

I think it is now the standard for 3rd party tools to put their stuff inside so that the editor won't get cluttered with menus. I got a rejection recently for one of my assets partially because of that.

When you publish a tool to the asset store, don't use your name as a menu item, put it under tools ins$$anonymous$$d. i.e. don't do this $$anonymous$$enuItem("Amaresh/AwesomeTool") ins$$anonymous$$d do $$anonymous$$enuItem("Tools/Amaresh/AwesomeTool") otherwise you might get your asset rejected from the asset store review $$anonymous$$m.
