Copy Paste GameObjects Hierarchy Transforms
This is just a quick EditorWindow Script to copy paste the position and rotation between two GameObject groups with the same hierarchy.
I like create EditorWindows. Actually this is how I got into coding. They are nice, and as long as they work, the performance cleanlyness of the code, and often I did not really completely understand what I was doing. It was a lot of try and error back then.
To call the EditorWindow, you need a MenuItem Attribute, and use a function to show it:
[MenuItem("Window/My Editor Window")]
private static void Init()
{
MyEditorWindow window = (TransformHierarchyCopyPaster)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(TransformHierarchyCopyPaster));
window.Show();
}For referencing objects in the EditorWindow a ObjectPicker is needed, in this case its for GameObjects itself:
obj = (GameObject) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(obj, typeof(GameObject), true);
Simple reminder to check if some value has changed within the EditorWindow:
EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
// Value that should be checked
if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
{
// Do Stuff
}Thats the code for the Tool.
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
public class TransformHierarchyCopyPaster : EditorWindow
{
public GameObject obj = null;
public GameObject newObj = null;
public List<Transform> originalTransform = new List<Transform>();
public List<Transform> newTransform = new List<Transform>();
public string statusLabel = "Press Get Transform";
[MenuItem("Artist Tools/Copy Paste Transform Hierarchy")]
private static void Init()
{
TransformHierarchyCopyPaster window = (TransformHierarchyCopyPaster)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(TransformHierarchyCopyPaster));
window.Show();
}
private void OnGUI()
{
GUIStyle statusLabelStyle = new GUIStyle();
EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
GUILayout.Label("Original", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
obj = (GameObject) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(obj, typeof(GameObject), true);
GUILayout.Label("New", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
newObj = (GameObject) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(newObj, typeof(GameObject), true);
GUILayout.Space(10);
if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
{
statusLabel = "<color=yellow>Press Get Transform</color>";
}
GUILayout.Label(statusLabel, statusLabelStyle);
if (GUILayout.Button("Get Transforms"))
{
originalTransform.Clear();
newTransform.Clear();
foreach (Transform child in obj.transform.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>())
{
originalTransform.Add(child);
}
foreach (Transform child in newObj.transform.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>())
{
newTransform.Add(child);
}
statusLabel = "<color=green>Ready to CopyPaste Transforms</color>";
}
if (GUILayout.Button("CopyPaste Transforms"))
{
for (int i = 0; i < originalTransform.Count; i++)
{
newTransform[i].position = originalTransform[i].position;
newTransform[i].rotation = originalTransform[i].rotation;
}
Undo.RegisterCreatedObjectUndo(newObj, "Transform Changed");
}
}
}
Just to show what it does and how the Tool itself looks in a simple example.
