WorldEditorPlacement

[InitializeOnLoad]
public static class WorldEditorPlacement

Keeps cell scenes usable in the editor even though they are authored cell-local. Whenever a cell scene is opened it is translated to where its cell sits relative to the EditorOriginCell, so several open cells line up like they will in the game; on save the translation is taken out again (and put back right after), so the file on disk always stays cell-local. The WorldCell root's position is the record of the applied translation, which makes this stateless across domain reloads.

Properties

EditorOriginCell

public static Vector3Int EditorOriginCell { get; set; }

The cell the editor shows at Unity's origin. Change it to author regions far from cell (0,0,0).

Methods

SetEditorOrigin

public static void SetEditorOrigin(WorldDefinition world, Vector3Int origin);

Move the editor origin and re-place every open cell scene of world.

FindRoot

public static WorldCell FindRoot(Scene scene);

The WorldCell root of a cell scene, or null.

CurrentOffset

public static Vector3 CurrentOffset(Scene scene);

Where the open cell scene currently sits (the translation applied to its cell-local content).

Place

public static void Place(Scene scene, WorldDefinition world, Vector3Int coord);

Translate the whole scene so its cell sits where the editor origin says it should.

Translate

public static void Translate(Scene scene, Vector3 delta);
