Hi, Developers!

Welcome to the official thread of Skele: Immediate Console! You’re welcome to ask any questions about “Immediate Console” here =)

Skele: Immediate Console enables developers to “type & execute” C# snippets immediately right in UnityEditor.

Main Feature list:

  • 1. Immediately execute C# snippets right inside UnityEditor instead of “starting a new editor script and wait for compiling the editor project to run it”;
  • 2. In edit-mode, execute C# snippets to carry out repetitive tasks;
  • 3. In game-mode, execute C# snippets to change game states, execute internal methods, debug and tweak the game, etc.
  • 4. Convert snippets to Editor to avoid re-entering snippet later;

Latest Change:
0.9 (Submitted on 2016/05/04)
NEW: convert snippet to editor;
NEW: add convenient variables for Selection.activeGameObject/activeTransform/etc.

Newly add some convenient features:

  1. convenient variables
    It’s too repetitive to write Selection.activeTransform/activeGameObject, so we provide some convenient variables to help.
    _ago => Selection.activeGameObject;
    _atr => Selection.activeTransform;
    _ao => Selection.activeObject;
    _gos => Selection.gameObjects;

e.g.: If you want to call “Selection.activeTransform.position”, you can write “_atr.position” instead;

  1. Convert snippet to EditorScript
    Programmers hate to repeat themselves.
    You could convert the snippet into an EditorWindow for later reuse.
    Just click the “Gen.Editor” button in the UI, and you will be prompted to input the generated script name & some comments;
    Clicking “Generate Text Asset” will save the editor file into a .txt file (to prevent immediate recompile)
    Clicking “Convert Scripts” will convert all .txt files under the Assets/Editor/Generated directory into .cs scripts files;

The generated editors can be invoked from menu items at “Tools/GenEditor/***”
