Editor Script to instantiate object?

Questions & Answers
1

So I’m new to editor scripts, but this might be something pretty simple -

What I’m trying to do is make a ladder based out of several sprites stacked on top of each other, according to the height.

I currently do something like this on Start()

for (int i = 0; i < height; i++) {
			GameObject piece = Instantiate(ladderUnitPiece, transform.position + new Vector3(0, i + 0.5f, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
			piece.transform.parent = transform;
		}

But I’d like to be able to create this in the editor, and not at runtime. Preferably with a little + and - buttons next to the transform’s pivot in the scene view. Each time I click the + button, the height int increases and a new ladderUnitPiece is instantiated and moved into position.

That kind of thing. Where would be a good place to start on how to create buttons in scene view that do something like this?

Cheers!

I’ve got this working mostly, the video Vexe posted was pretty helpful, if a little painful. I have another related question but it’s much more specific than this broad one, so I’ll close this out.
