_Wizard that lets you create new script files with useful templates, automatic namespaces, and asmdef/asmref support._
## About the Project
Creating a new script is kind of a chore. Especially creating an editor script, and especially if you have asmdefs in your project.
You just want to make a simple custom inspector but now you have to:
- Create a new Editor folder next to the original script
- Create a new Editor script probably by duplicating an existing one (waiting for recompilation...) and then moving it (recompiling again...)
- Then you rename the file, rename the class and update the `[CustomEditor]` attribute above it.
- If you use asmdefs, you now also need to create a .asmref file that references the correct .asmdef.
- Maybe there is no Editor.asmdef yet, so before all that you have to make a new one.
- Make a new folder again
- Create a dummy script because .asmdef folders can't be empty
- Then create a new .asmdef
- THEN you can make your .asmref
TEDIOUS, I SAY
This is what all of that looks like with the Create Script Dialog. Just right-click, `Create>Script...` and press Create:
## Getting Started
- Right click a folder and select `Create>Script...` to open the dialog.
- Fill in the namespace if the automatic suggestion is not to your liking.
- Choose the appropriate template. It will automatically suggest an `Editor` or `PropertyDrawer` template if you right-clicked on an existing script.
- Press Create and the file, folder and any .asmdef shenanigans will be taken care of.
## Compatibility
Older Unity versions haven't been tested thoroughly, but this tool has been around for a while so it'll probably work fine in older versions.
## Installation
### Package Manager
Go to `Edit > Project Settings > Package Manager`. Under 'Scoped Registries' make sure there is an OpenUPM entry.
If you don't have one: click the `+` button and enter the following values:
- Name: `OpenUPM`
- URL: `https://package.openupm.com`
Then under 'Scope(s)' press the `+` button and add `com.roytheunissen`.
It should look something like this:
All of my packages will now be available to you in the Package Manager in the 'My Registries' section and can be installed from there.
### Git Submodule
You can check out this repository as a submodule into your project's Assets folder. This is recommended if you intend to contribute to the repository yourself.
### OpenUPM
The package is available on the [openupm registry](https://openupm.com). It's recommended to install it via [openupm-cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli).
```
openupm add com.roytheunissen.createscriptdialog
```
### Manifest
You can also install via git URL by adding this entry in your **manifest.json**
```
"com.roytheunissen.assetpalette": "https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog.git"
```
### Unity Package Manager
```
from Window->Package Manager, click on the + sign and Add from git: https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog.git
```
## Acknowledgements
This tool was originally created by Unity themselves many years ago. I was not satisfied with its functionality so around 2014 I added namespace support.
The original tool has officially become deprecated but I have been using it all this time and gradually expanding it and improving it, and I've been getting a lot of value out of it over the years. I hope you will too.
