Notice

Asset Depreciated

This asset is depreciated. Those who have the asset can still download and use it, however we are no longer providing updates or direct support for this asset.

Install

Setup

To setup this asset, import all elements of the shortcuts package into your project and move the Carter Games folders in both the editor and resources folder from the package into your own folders. Once done the asset will be ready for use. The asset will work as imported though you may experience issues when building your project if the editor folder is not ignored when you build your game.

Usage

The Sidebar

The asset with a useful sidebar window that can be docked anywhere in your editor or left standalone if needed. This sidebar allows you to quickly access some area of the Unity editor that are needed often but have no shortcuts to get to.

Script Creation

This section allows you to create new scripts with templates for some common types used in game development. This can save you time as you wonโ€™t need to change the default template each time you make a script or copy your own templates over when you change editor version.

The Controls

Inc Namespace:
Should the script be in a namespace? (the namespace option will appear if true).

File Name:
What should the script be called? This will be the class name.

Namespace (only if inc namespace if true):
The namespace the script will be under.

Once you have entered a filename the sidebar will show the Options buttons, simply press the button for the script type you would like to create and it will create it. Note that Custom inspectors and editor windows will have โ€œ###โ€ in places where you will need to add the script the custom inspector is for or the menu for the window respectively.

General

These are simple buttons to open other windows that donโ€™t fall into a category, each button opens the respective window.

Preferences

These buttons open certain parts of the Unity editor preferences, note that the key bindings option only shows up in the 2018 version of Unity, if you are using a more up-to date version this button will not be visible.

Project Settings

Similar to the previous groupings, these buttons open up parts of the project settings that are commonly used. if the window is already docked or open it will bring it up to the window you have selected.

Build Settings

This simply opens the build settings menu. Nothing else to it really.
