SceneTool

Remarks

Finer than an IEditorMode, and the distinction is Unity's. A mode is a statement about what a click means globally — Select, Terrain, Foliage — and there are a handful. A tool is one of the things you can be doing inside one, scoped to what is selected, and there are as many as the selection has verbs. Making every tool a mode is how a mode bar becomes a toolbar with a worse name.

⚠ The pane offers the active tool first refusal before the mode gets it. A tool is the more specific claim: it was chosen for this selection, where the mode was chosen for the session. ActiveTool is what sets one, and it is deliberately the pane's rather than the shell's — two panes side by side can be in different tools the way they are already in different view modes.

Fields and properties (5)

• public string Id

  What everything refers to it by. Prefix a plugin's with the plugin's own id.

• public string Title

  What its button says.

• public IViewportInput Input

  What gets the pane's input while the tool is the active one.

• public Type? Target

  The component type that has to be on the selection for the tool to be offered, or for a tool that always applies. Read by whatever draws the tool strip; the pane itself does not filter, because it does not know what a component is.

• public int Order

  Where among the tools, low first. Ties keep registration order.

Methods (1)

• public SceneTool(string Id, string Title, IViewportInput Input, Type? Target = null, int Order = 0)

  Something you can be doing in the viewport, offered inside whatever mode is active.
