Unity Editor Window

Editor Window (Part 1) In unity, Editor windows are windows which are created by developers to be used by developers in Editor, it’s more like a plugin for Unity editor made by You. By learning Editor Window scripting, one is able to create any type of windows to ease their work while working in editor. Official Definition: “ Create your own custom editor window that can float free or be docked as a tab, just like the native windows in the Unity interface. ” I am going to start a series which will cover almost all the topics related to EDITOR WINDOW. In this series I am going to make a “LevelDesigner” plugin dittoing the zoo tycoon GUI and functionalities. Fortunately, we will learn about: Creating Editor window, creating all types of GUI, Modifying GUI Skin, Instantiating prefabs loaded from resources, and lots more…. So, tag along with me till the end of this series and let’s see How far we can Go. I have also just started learning Unity Editor Scripting so

Physics Raycast Unity

Welcome Unity Developers, Back with another Blog.  Today we are Going to learn about: " Physics.Raycast " Physics.Raycast is normally used to draw a Ray of n Distance, and if the Ray hits anything It let us Know what it Hits (Make sure the other object has collider attach to it otherwise raycast will pass through object without detecting it). Physics.Raycast is used in Games whenever we want to hit something from distance or want to check whether our gameobject will hit something in future if it goes straight. Note that Raycast is always cast In a straight line from the center of the gameobject that is casting the ray. So we can make something like: AI of a character which checks while moving whether there is any object which he may collide with say in range of 10 units of unity, if it keeps on moving in that direction A gun Which shoots when a input is given and if it hits something say player, Player health decreases. Can Create a logic if we fire on pl

Triggers

Welcome Developers, roll your sleeves and let’s get started with understanding triggers in unity. I strongly recommend to check my previous blog about  Colliders   before starting with this one. Triggers are nothing else but colliders with istrigger property on. If we turn on istrigger property of our collider than firstly it doesn’t collide with other colliders instead pass through them. Secondly, we can use Unity build in functions for triggers to manipulate our game whenever our trigger is triggered. How to trigger our triggers? To understand that let’s create a project in unity and follow up with me. Step 1. Scene setup. Create a cube, a sphere and another cube. Make cube1 look like a platform and place cube2 on cube1. After that place the sphere on top of cube2.Now select your cube2 and in inspector under box collider, tick is trigger option and untick mesh renderer. Your scene will somewhat look like this: Step 2: Write a script
