This repo contains the Unity Editor scripts that used to be used in my classes to help make some task as simple as a menu choice. These editor scripts should work on both Mac and Windows.
Feel free to use these in your own projects.
In the Releases, you will find the latest ProfPollatiUtilities.unitypackage which will contains all the files you need.
However, if you want just Build Buddy, Duplicate Launchers, or the Quick Switchers, you can download and import one of those packages.
Just go in the menu Assets -> Import Package -> Custom Package and select the unity package.
This basic script will produce the Linux 64bit on Unity 2019.2 or greater or a Universal Linux in Unity 2019.1 or earlier, Mac, and Windows (32bit and 64bit) builds and zip them for you. That way, you have the required releases, all named properly for the GitHub Releases required for submitting in your project.
Once it completes, it will pop open a requester where you can hit Okay or Show Build Folder to have the Build folder show up in Explorer on Windows or in the Finder for Mac.
If you do not have all the required build support installed (Windows Target Support, Linux Target Support, and macOS Target Support) for Unity, the completion message will tell you which builds did not get generated.
In order to enable those build:
- If you are using Unity Hub, you can easily add the components missing:
-
If you installed Unity with an installer from the Unity site, you can try to search for the Target Support Installer by visiting
https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/"VERSION OF UNITY"ie: https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/2019.2.19 -
Otherwise, you have to launch the Unity Download Assistant and manually select those. (For info see "No mac build option on PC?")
In order to easily produce a ZIP file with Unity 5.4 or lower, the library Ionic.Zip.Unity from dotnetzip-for-unity in needed in the Assets/Plugin/ folder.
When trying to test out your project for the Multiplayer assignments, you either have to make a build of the game and launch that build and launch the editor, or you can make a duplicate of your project and launch that in another instance of Unity. Launching another instance makes it a little faster to changing things around, but it can take more time to copy the files, unless you use this script.
This will add a window with controls for you to Save, Duplicate and Launch. If you are running the game, it will only Duplicate and Launch since you cannot save the scenes or project since it may lead to issue with project.
Once you've made a copy and you only need to update certain files, like scripts, scenes, prefabs or scriptable objects, then you just click on the button for that particular item or copy all of those with All Items.
Expanding the Configs will tell you the location of the project, where it gets duplicated to, and the location of Unity's executable which you can edit incase your is in a different location.
This will open up a little window which you can user to quickly switch to either editing that Prefab, or switch to another Scene, without having to dig through your Assets folder.
