Tools

Dolos Prefab Switcher

• Editor utility for Unity that allows rapid creation of prefab instances based on existing scene object arrangements
  • use cases:
    • swapping in completed art-assets for previous blockouts,
    • rapidly exchanging all occurences of one asset for another,
    • reorganizing an untidy scene into prefabs
• My (hopefully) first tool (to be) published on the Unity Asset Store!

Deployment Zone Gizmo

• An editor utility for Unity meant for creating zones and shapes as scene objects that can then be accessed during runtime to return points within
  • use cases:
    • spawning units (close to a point, randomly, etc),
    • creating shapes and verifying that a point is inside said shape,
    • rendering areas for visualizing/debugging purposes
