Chapter 4. Creating Editor Windows

Most of the interactions you have with Unity when you use the Scene View, Game View, or Project browser will be across editor windows. When you need to have some kind of interaction that is not directly related to one specific object instance, the usage of a editor window feels more natural compared to a custom inspector.

Unity allows you to create editor windows using the EditorWindow class, giving you an alternative way to create user interfaces for your tools.

Here, you will learn how to create an editor window and customize it to build a Palette to display the level piece prefabs available in Run & Jump in order to be used by the Level Creator.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

The EditorWindow class
The AssetDatabase class
C# events

Angelo R Tadres Bustamante

Angelo Tadres is a Chilean software engineer, living the dream of working in the mobile video game industry. Hailing from Santiago, Chile, he began his career doing research and development for video games and applications that are designed to assist the blind and visually impaired with their orientation and mobility skills. After passing quickly through the telecommunications industry—working with value-added services and mobile applications—he got the opportunity to join the Santiago studio of DeNA, one of the world's largest mobile video game companies. In 2013, Angelo was asked to move to Vancouver, Canada, to become a lead software engineer, where he helped build the fledgling Canadian studio and, in particular, championed Unity 3D, paving the way for other teams' adoption and use. He's known for getting things done by shooting first and asking questions later. When he is not coding and pushing content to GitHub, you'll find him playing table tennis with his friends or running along the sea wall.
