This tutorial explains how to create a menu item (or multiple!) for the right click menu in Unity, with and without conditionals - and hotkeys. This is incredibly useful to speed up your game development time.
This tutorial is all about creating a menu item in the right click menu. It covers:
- Setting up UI prefabs
- Creating an Editor script
- Configuring the menu item with a name, icon, and hotkey
- Instantiating a prefab with proper parenting
- Validating the selection to show the menu only under certain conditions
Hope you'll enjoy it!
