Neat! I avoid internal API reflection as a rule - enterprise dev habits - but menus & custom editors are my go-tos. Just did a Cinemachine dashboard incorporating TV multicamera movements & terms, incl custom spline paths and action-safe & rule-of-thirds composition guides. Then updated to CM3.1, which made their GameView GUI handler inaccessible 😅 Far as I'm concerned, being able to break, remold, and extend the Editor as you need is Unity's 2nd-best strength as an engine. It's top strength would be "port to anything" 😂

Insane stuff, thank you for sharing!

I appreciate to your very helpful video. Could I ask you what SDK did you employed..? I tried to apply research version, but It didn't work because I used Tobii Eye Tracker 5 which is same model with yours. There are stream engine, Tobii Pro SDK, Tobii Game SDK, ETC. Could you let me know which SDK can I apply for my private project on Unity...?

Very useful, did this a long time ago for the mesh renderer, priceless addition.

Great video as always. I would love to see a context menu action that duplicates tabs, such as inspector, project, hierarchy, etc.

Unity has sooo much internal garbage. Half of the useful extensibility in UI toolkit is stuck behind internal fields. I don't even get it because if they're using internal functionality on extended components why is there no code review saying hey we use this all the time maybe our users would want to use it too...

I still want to see your Overlay code that implements a joystick for X/Z tilting objects.

Why do you think adding side components to extend its behavior is a bad idea?

Editor API is the big unknown as there are not many tutorials, and honestly, it is not very friendly I created utilities like creating materials from textures or customizing scriptable objects to expose their members in Inspector...A little work that can save hours in every project

I turned scene view's move, rotate, and scale tools into 2D versions of them on XZ plane for a plugin I've been working on. It's a shame they cannot be customized without using reflection.

Would you please teach how to use DOTS for beginners, like how to spawn prefabs?

Simply hilarious

"I never forced you to become a human light bulb!" 🤣

Does this work with public override VisualElement CreateInspectorGUI() method as well? root = _internalEditor.CreateInspectorGUI(). I guess I might have to try. I know that Unity version 6 defaults to using visual elements for the default inspector, I think 2022 does as well. If you do not set the Use IMGUI Default Inspector property in the Editor Setting then OnGUI may not work properly, Unity might say oh look there's a Visual Element script for this element so we are going to use that instead of your custom script. Ran into this issue in the past when creating custom inspectors for my components, I get a message in the Inspector saying something along the lines that this component does not have a visual element, I do not remember exactly what the message said. This would be a great usage to add custom attributes like a Button attribute that you can add to methods and then get the original inspector for it and then add the custom code for the buttons. I have had Issues with this using [CustomEditor(typeof(MonoBehaviour), true, isFallback = true)] The custom OnInspectorGUI was ignored unless I change the Editor Setting first. I also know that I have tried the var baseVE = base.CreateInspectorGUI(); which use to return a null element, so I had to brute force this and do it manually by getting the serialized property and looping through all of the properties, manually add that property to the root container. Then I add buttons for every method that has a Button Attribute. I am going to have to try using this method of doing it instead.

Sometimes I can't find a good use case for some of your videos, but now, THIS IS WHAT I NEED. The box collider is not automatically aligning itself with the transform is driving me nuts

Hey thats awesome, can we edit particle system and add multiple spawn points to 1 particle system ? Creating multiple particile system kill a lot of performances on mobile devices, thats why i ask

Great video! This tip will definitely come in handy. One thing is that I wanted to add an easy access button to round the position values in the transform to ints. But I'm not sure if this technique will work on the transform component since it's the base block of any game object and maybe behaves differently to the other added components?

I will definitley be making the SpriteRenderer component have an option for making drop shadows 😮

Good stuff! Would love to see some custom runtime-supporting editors using the UI toolkit, hardly ever seen content about it.

For custom inspectors (and similar extensions) instead of reflection I recommend to inject your own editor extension into the original assembly through asmref definition. It compiles into it so there are no runtime-shenanigans.

Hey. Have you looked at all into customizing the asset browser? I found that it's the window that's hardest to customize (requires a lot of reflection).

Thank you so much

Sadly I am blocked quite early: 'ItemDirectory' is unknown.

Like first, and consume all the knowledge, thank you

This video is impressive ,but I am trying to use the namespace named Tobii.Gaming in Unity, but I am unable to do so. I already obtained a API from dev support. Did I forgot to do anything?

Very cool. I can see this getting very handy for level design.

Imma watch the list you've provided

Thanks for the video and the bonus tips. wonder if there is a way to combine this with the new node system Unity released and git-amend did a video on.

I have to say that final tip really help take it over the top, excellent job on this one.

You are a legend. Thank you!

Should we add the HideFlags.HideAndDontSave in the bool isHidden too ? If yes, for the show hidden scripts part do I need to remove the HideInHierarchy and HideAndDontSave at the same time ? I've also added validate for every function, I saw it was triggered only once so I think it's not too expensive, it was a wrong idea ? Thanks for this really cool vid, I've just finished my marathon of watching all your videos. That's some awesome ressources.

I've always wanted to use scene templates, as I will be making level-based games. Thank you for making this video. It made my game development process easier.

I never realized how badly I was missing out.

don't forget to wrap your start/stop asset editing in try…finally to make sure it won't be broken in the case your code between start and stop throws an exception

yes please how to autofix?

Instructions unclear: still staring blankly at the screen

your game looks great!

wow i love your beginner -> intermediate -> advance level videos.. please create more content like this..... you are my weekend teacher❤

Great showcase. Thank You. But 😊 the issue with the custom dialog box is it's constantly appearing in the middle of nowhere (forcing You to drag n drop it each time) instead of being shower in the middle of the screen (as built in dialog does). I've got annoyed of that while watching the video. Imagine how annoyed a user could be. I'm wondering are there any smart ways of positioning except of naive Screen.width / 2 - wnd.width / 2 (which won't work properly in some cases)?

Ah... EditorPrefs, another black magic in my arsenal. Thank you, master

The only thing that could make it better is if it had a button like the Undo history. Its amazing either way. Thanks for the tutorial.

You deserve a ton more subscribers! Great video, I learned a lot and I'm actually exited to create some Tools myself (if only I had some ideas yet :D). I've heard in the recent @Jason Weimann podcast you were participating in, that you have created a debugger script/tool to automate the process of validating changes instead of playing through the levels yourself. That sounded super interesting and when I heard it, I thought to myself "I need that, and I need it NOW!!!" :D That would help a ton in my current project, so any plans on showing us the magic on how you build that tool? And if not, how much do I have to pay you to show me? :P

You are doing great!!! keep it up...! Thanks for the excellent explanation :)

is there any way to detect when a file is dragged over the window? before the file is dropped

Excellent!

another great video, a small addition would be maybe adding if(SelectionHistoyToolSettings.SetSceneView) SceneView.lastActiveSceneView.FrameSelected(); in the SelectPrevious() and SelectNext()

Impressive of what you can actually do with the Unity Editor. I always feel lost when trying to create something for the Unity Editor. It became easier with UIToolkit though. Anyway, I love your content! There are very few KZbinrs who are actual experts in topics like Unity Editor / Advanced Scripting IMO!!

WindyBeard?

Because it's good, and my arms are too short to reach the "stop" button 😂 ... So what happens if you you hit back a few times and then select something that was not next in the history stack ? I'm assuming it removes everything after it in the stack ? It would be cool if there is a way to "insert" steps in between the history..
