private MyGameObject gameObject;
[MenuItem(“My Menu/Show My Editor”)]
static void ShowEditor()
{
MyEditor window = (MyEditor)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(MyEditor), “My Editor”, false, 600, 400);
window.gameObject = Selection.activeGameObject;
}
private void OnGUI()
{
// Add your custom editor here
}
}
[SelectionBase]
public class MyGameObject : GameObject
{
// Your game object properties and methods go here
}
Method 2: Using an Existing Editor Script
Another way to include an editor in Unity is by using an existing script, such as the built-in “ScriptableObject” or “Component”. These scripts allow you to add properties and methods that can be accessed and modified by the Unity Editor.
Method 3: Using an External Editor Plugin
If you want to use an external editor plugin to include an editor in your Unity project, there are a few options available to you. These plugins allow you to create custom inspectors and editors that can be accessed from within the Unity Editor.
