Equipment, Weapon, and Pawn Creation Wizard for Unity

Integration into the Unity Editor

Problem: Creating multiple information heavy serializable assets took too much time, wasting dev resources to perform the same work over and over.

Solution: I created a framework of wizards with editor integration to allow designers to rapidly create serializable assets. The wizards are customizable, with comments to allow designers with minimal or no coding experience to quickly change or generate new wizards as their designs require.

Features:

  • Three example configurations of the wizard

  • Automatic path assignment of assets, including nested folders.

  • Descriptive naming of variables, including struct and array sub variables.

  • Editor integration

  • Can update previously saved assets through the same wizard.

  • Drop down menu for Enums with descriptive naming preserved
