using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEditor;
public class ModelEditorGUI : MonoBehaviour {
public enum GuiState{
Edit,
Save,
Load
}
public static GuiState currentGuiState = GuiState.Edit;
float sW = Screen.width;
float sH = Screen.height;
Rect colorRect = new Rect(Screen.width / 150, Screen.height / 100, Screen.width / 8, Screen.height / 8);
public static byte r, g, b;
public static Color32 currentColor;
public GUISkin skin;
public static int buildMode = 1;
public static int colorMode = 0;
public GUITexture crosshair;
string modelName = "";
//Icons
public Texture2D icon_colorPicker;
public Texture2D icon_colorChanger;
void Start () {
CustomMouseLook.canLook = true;
Screen.lockCursor = true;
ModelEditorPlayer.canBuild = true;
}
void Update () {
currentColor = new Color32(r,g,b,(byte)(colorMode == 0 ? 255 : 200));
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftControl)){
CustomMouseLook.canLook = false;
Screen.lockCursor = false;
ModelEditorPlayer.canBuild = false;
}
else if (currentGuiState == GuiState.Edit){
CustomMouseLook.canLook = true;
Screen.lockCursor = true;
ModelEditorPlayer.canBuild = true;
}
}
void OnGUI () {
GUI.skin = skin;
//Color Area
if(currentGuiState == GuiState.Edit){
ModelEditorPlayer.canBuild = true;
crosshair.enabled = true;
GUI.Box(colorRect, "");
GUILayout.BeginArea(colorRect);
GUI.skin.label.alignment = TextAnchor.MiddleCenter;
GUILayout.Label("Color");
r = (byte)GUILayout.HorizontalSlider((int)r, 1, 255);
g = (byte)GUILayout.HorizontalSlider((int)g, 1, 255);
b = (byte)GUILayout.HorizontalSlider((int)b, 1, 255);
GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
if(GUILayout.Button("Toggle Mode", GUILayout.Width(sW / 18))) buildMode = buildMode == 0 ? 1 : 0;
if(GUILayout.Button("Toggle Color", GUILayout.Width(sW / 18))) colorMode = colorMode == 0 ? 1 : 0;
GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
GUILayout.EndArea();
}
else if(currentGuiState == GuiState.Save){
ModelEditorPlayer.canBuild = false;

GUI.Box(new Rect(Screen.width/2-Screen.width/10, Screen.height/2-Screen.height/12, Screen.width/5, Screen.height/6), "Save Map");

GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 30, 100, 20), "Model Name:");
modelName = GUI.TextField(new Rect(80, 30, 130, 20), modelName);
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 70, 200, 25), "Save Model as File")){
ModelSerializer.SaveModel(modelName);
currentGuiState = GuiState.Edit;
}
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 95, 200, 25), "Save Model as Mesh")){
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(ModelSerializer.ModelToMesh(), "Assets/Models/Mesh/" + modelName + ".asset");
currentGuiState = GuiState.Edit;
}
GUI.EndGroup();
}
if(currentGuiState == GuiState.Load) {
ModelEditorPlayer.canBuild = false;

GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 30, 100, 20), "Model Name:");
modelName = GUI.TextField(new Rect(80, 30, 130, 20), modelName);
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 70, 200, 25), "Load Model")){
StartCoroutine(ModelSerializer.LoadModel(modelName));
currentGuiState = GuiState.Edit;
}
GUI.EndGroup();
}
}

Oh that's easy. You simply can't. Who ever made this script only made it for in-editor use as he uses the AssetDatabase. I guess this should only be some sort of example. The actual model saving is done by the ModelSerializer. You can simply comment out the "Save Model as Mesh" button and the "using UnityEditor;" line at the top. That should make the class build-compatible.
If you have further problems with thrid party packages, please contact the creator of that package and don't ask questione here. You didn't even mention that you use "Voxity", that we had to read out of your screenshot...

UnityEditor is not included in built games. As the name implies its just for inside the editor.
Make the error go away by doing the following
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
#endif
You will need to do this around any part of the script that uses UnityEditor functionality.
that gives me a error and even if I fix that then I still need it to save some were else so that it can save
