List & Array Toolbox

NOTE: Now you can also show the big Geek Context Menu as a sub-menu.

This toolbox contains Geek Addons that provide the Unity Editor with essential context menu commands useful for arrays and lists - more precisely, operations on ranges of array and list elements. All included "Geek Productivity Commands" are available in the GameObject context menu, Assets context menu and in the Unity Inspector context menu related to list and array properties.

FULL SOURCE CODE included.

DEMO SCENE

---------------

You can test this package with the free demo scene available in the Asset Store.

For testing, you can also use two MonoBehaviour scripts: ExampleArrays.cs and ExampleLists.cs that contain many different arrays and lists. Attach the scripts to any game objects, define array and list data and then, just right-click on array/list element names to display a context menu with appended 4AI Geek Context Menu.

---------------------------

MAIN PLUGIN FEATURES

---------------------------

• copying selected game objects or assets to the Geek Clipboard, ordered in different ways (e.g. by executing copy commands using the alphanumeric sort by asset file path or game object name),
• sorting or reordering a range of array or list elements e.g. object references by asset path or as in the Hierarchy view, alphanumerically, by object name, in reverse order, shuffling etc.,
• moving a range of array or list elements from one place to another within a given array or list,
• shifting a range of array or list elements from one place to another within a given array or list (which are used like a ring buffer),
• copying a range of array or list elements to the Geek Clipboard,
• copying all array or list elements to the Geek Clipboard,
• pasting or "force pasting" array or list elements available in the Geek Clipboard into an array or list,
• copying either a locked element range or unlocked range (based on a clicked index),
• cutting a range of array or list elements and placing them in the Geek Clipboard,
• inserting array or list elements available in the Geek Clipboard into an array or list at a clicked index,
• appending array or list elements available in the Geek Clipboard after a clicked index in an array or list,
• duplicating a range of array or list elements - once and many times,
• deleting a range of array or list elements,
• selecting game objects or any objects referenced by an array or list element range,
• setting and resizing a range of array or list elements,
• different operation modes such as a locked or unlocked element range mode,
• locking all the list or array range.

As all our "Geek Utilities", this "move-shift-copy-paste-cut-insert-append-duplicate-select-sort-reorder-delete-range-lock" utility can enhance your workflow and increase productivity. It also eliminates the need of using e.g. reorderable lists or arrays that could be useful especially in older versions of Unity. You don't need to use any special Attributes with your arrays and lists for the toolbox commands to work. It should work with your list and array properties in the Unity Inspector out-of-the-box after installing the plugin.

This package extends the Unity Editor with the commands described below.
