How To Create An Editor Window In Javascript

Unity Engine
1

How do I create Editor Window in Javascript to Edit different Items of the script and be able to do so on different game objects.

test.js

#pragma strict
var name : int =1;
function Start () {

}

function Update () {

}

And Then In The Editor Folder Folder I Have TestWindow.js

class Test extends EditorWindow {
   
    function OnGUI() {
        EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Modify Name Value");
        EditorGUILayout.IntField("Update # Names:", name);

        if(GUILayout.Button("Close"))
        {
            this.Close();
        }   
           
       
       
    }
   
    function OnInspectorUpdate() {
        Repaint();
    }

    @MenuItem("Example/Randomize Children In Selection")
    static function Init ()
    {
        // Get existing open window or if none, make a new one:       
        var window = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance.<Test>();
        window.Show();
    }
}

I get this error with the editor script

What version of Unity are you using? I could be wrong but I think GUI doesn’t exist in versions later than 4.6.

Jana1108 How are you building editor windows?

My game doesn’t involve editor windows. It’s an android app which I am hoping to release this week! I think it has a lot of potential to make the charts :smile: If you want I could really do with the help and if the game does become successful I could possibly reward you? At the moment I’m struggling with getting the score onto the game over scene from the game scene and displaying sucessfully. Inbox me and we can discuss further.

Name is a string that is defined by the EditorWindow class. IntField is expecting an int. Give it an int as the second argument instead.

BoredMormon, can you provide an example on how to correct my issue?
