Unity Editor Hello, Unity Dev’s I am back again with Part 3 of Creating custom editor window in unity. In today’s blog we will look around: “How to load Textures files from resource folder and create our buttons.” Step1. Gather some images related to the headers of our sub-toolbars or if you are good at photoshop create some, btw I have zero skills when it comes to photoshop so I am goanna gather images from internet. Once we have are images ready drag them into respected folder under root folder Resources. It will look something like this: Step2. Scripting Now we need to create a function which will be called once whenever we will switch from sub-tabs. Hmmmm, so how to do that!!! First create a function and name it as per your want’s I have named mine as: “MakeWindow” Then write down these lines: Create two variables a list: to store our loaded textures an
So let’s get started.
Scope of Variables
A variable as we all know is a container which can
hold a value or multiple values related to its type. Means a Gameobject type
variable can hold any gameobject, a Transform type variable can hold a transform
component of any gameobject, etc.
But some time a variable declared is
inaccessible, that’s due to its "scope of life".
A variable declared in a class is said to be a global variable to the function and local to the class where as a variable declared in a function is said to be a local
variable of that function.
To understand it more clearly any variable defined within
“{}” has its scope of life after the “{” starting curly braches till the “}”
ending curly braces.
Let try to understand with a small example.
Step1. Write the following script attach it to any
gameobject and hit run.
In this script there is two things to notice one the
variable Name which is defined
globally and second is the 2 local variables named Myname in each function respectively.
Let’s try something else try to remove the Myname variable declaration, see what
happens an error pops up saying:
This is because Myname
scope of life starts in function friend1 “{” and ends in function Friend1 “}”.
Whereas Name
variable is accessible.
One more tip a local variable when declaired as same
name of a global variable in a function will always access the local variable.
To understand more clearly write the following code
and run it you will understand what I meant.
