Adding Custom Script Templates

An article by mgear    1 Comment

Adding custom script templates is quite simple:
– Create your custom script
– Replace all class name strings with #SCRIPTNAME# (this will get replaced by the new created script name)
– Move the script file under your unity installation folder: \Unity\Editor\Data\Resources\ScriptTemplates\
– Rename “YourScript.cs” into “81a-C# Your Script-YourNewScript.cs.txt” (’81a’ is the menu location, so this would appear below the default c# script)

Note:
– This folder gets replaced if you install new Unity version!
– You need to restart unity after you have placed the file on that folder (otherwise its not visible in the menu)
– You can remove the “82-Javascript-NewBehaviourScript.js.txt” if you don’t need javascript files, saves some space on the menu..
