In unity how can i do additional stuff after creating an asset in the editor?

Question

I want to extend the functionality creating a scene. Right now I just right click in the project view in the folder where I want the asset to be created, choose "Create", and pick "Scene" and then I make this scene addressable, put it into a scriptable object and so on. I'd like to make this process automatic. Is there a way to extend Unity create asset menu options? Mainly I'd love if after pressing create scene a dialogue box would pop up which would handle the rest of the process.

I tried looking for options online but I couldn't find examples of this anywhere. Is this possible to do in Unity?

Answer 1

I’m sure you will not find any related example because your use case is unique.

Try to find an example for every step you are described above.

I will try to explain process step by step, but you will have to do the coding part by yourself.

• use CreateAssetMenuAttribute as Juris mentioned
• use NewScene method from EditorSceneManager object which is responsible for managing of scenes in the editor
• use DisplayDialog method from EditorUtility object for dialog
• use this thread to create addressable from your scene
• use CreateInstance method from ScriptableObject object to create scriptable object
• use i.e LoadAssetAtPath from AssetDatabase object to load created scene into ScriptableObject

This is very general answer but I hope it will give some clue how to solve your problem.
