#Editor extension basics
honest harness
Ah, okay so a bit of history and explanation. IMGUI was also used for doing runtime UI originally, though nowadays people use UGUI (the component and game object based system).
So the manual you are seen tells you how to use it for runtime UI, looking in the game view and you should see it.

nothing here

If you want to add UI to the SceneView then you would want to do something like this
[InitializeOnLoad] // This tells Unity to call the static constructor whenever the domain reloads
public static class SceneViewExtension
{
static SceneViewExtension()
{
SceneView.duringSceneGUI +=
}
private static void SceneGUI(Scene scene)
{
// You can't use the layout system for this so need to position it manually.
if (GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 21, 100, 21), "Press Me"))
Debug.Log("pressed");
}
}
ok so there isnt a way to without code, add the ui?
honest harness
No
honest harness
What is it that you are wanting to do?
tiny perch
trying to make a random placement generator for trees for my upcoming game
but its something id have to be able to make pretty quick
honest harness
Ah
tiny perch
thanks anyway
honest harness
There are a lot of prefab placement things
some on github and some for really cheap on the asset store
tiny perch
its not a game im going to invest money into
its a school project
2 weeks to make the game
this is preparation
honest harness
Well, there is a couple good free ones if you want
tiny perch
for gui creation?
honest harness
For placing prefabs
honest harness
Yup
tiny perch
could you link me?
tiny perch
ok, it looks great for when you need to fill a full area
i need mine randomized though
thats what im currently working on
honest harness
You need what randomized?
tiny perch
the placement in the area
honest harness
You need to place trees randomly within an area, correct?
tiny perch
mhm
honest harness
Hmm, I thought it could do that...
tiny perch
not from what i saw
honest harness
yeah, seems not. My bad
tiny perch
no worries
already working on my own without ui
the inspector will have to suffice as ui
tiny perch
oh shit
