Artifice Toolkit | Our in-house "Odin Inspector" inspired tool is now open-source

Hello everyone!

I’m thrilled to share this long-awaited post with all of you. What started as a small custom inspector for a single noscript used by my team has evolved into something great.

After a year of development during our in-between tasks, I’m excited to announce that this toolkit is now a fully-fledged, open-source Git package, ready to be integrated into anyone's project!

[AbZorbaGames/artificetoolkit: A Unity toolkit that allows easy editor customization with simple C# attributes.](https://github.com/AbZorbaGames/artificetoolkit)

It’s like the Odin Inspector but free and open-source. Its like MyBox and NaughtyAttributes but includes a Validator window while also being completely implemented using Unity's new VisualElements framework. Of course, it can be extended with your own attributes and validations in a similar fashion as Unity's own CustomInspectors and CustomPropertyDrawers.

If this all sounds unfamiliar, don’t worry—just take a look at the README file to get started!

I want to express my gratitude to **Abzorba Games**, the company under which I developed this tool, for gracefully allowing and supporting this tool on becoming an open-source project.

I recommend getting your hands on it an trying out our top 3 most used attributes:

* FoldoutGroup, the best visual fluff
* Required, the best validation
* PreviewScriptable, the best missing feature from Unity


Here are some examples from the documentation:

[\[Preview Scriptable\]](https://i.redd.it/xut1yl6oe87e1.gif)

[\[EnableIf\]](https://i.redd.it/f3cpwgspe87e1.gif)




Now for the disclaimer. The toolkit is definitely not bug-free, and not even close to the versatility of the Odin Inspector... but its free and waiting for your feedback and contributions!


PS: Also not mentioned in the documentation (somehow I forgot to add it), you can create Editor Windows as if they were simple components by inheriting the ArtificeEditorWindow class and calling through a menu item the GetWindow ;)

Anyone know why my normal maps look so pixelated and blurry when used on a sprite sheet?

When giving a sprite a Custom Physics Shape, how do I delete a vertex?

Good evening,

When making a Custom Physics Shape for a sprite, how would I go about deleting a node?

Here's an example:

The sprite in question. It's a very simple grass tile edge.

How could I delete that node highlighted in blue? I've tried a few different things (hitting the delete key, control-clicking it, and every other key on my keyboard). Most of the guides I see either don't cover it, or they're for a different version of Unity.

All help is appreciated

Trouble with spawning overlapped objects. Collider issue?

Hello!

I'm currently starting my first small hobby project, and I'm running into issues spawning room prefabs for my level generation. The original goal was to make a randomly generated series of rooms similar to Binding of Isaac. I initially followed this tutorial (Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAf9axsyijY) but I never got it to work fully and have been troubleshooting since. I keep running into an issue where every 1 out of 20 rooms will be spawned on top of an existing room.

My current theory is that there's either an issue with the Spawn Destroyer's collider (an object that destroys room spawn points and overlapped rooms) or maybe an issue with Spawn Destroyers destroying each other first. I've also tried adding in various delays and limiting room spawns but it feels like the code is being treated as a suggestion rather than a rule.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, but I may end up starting this part from scratch if I can't get it fixed.

My room spawn code and spawn destroyer code are listed below.

How to make a stretch at a point shader

Hi! I want to make a shader for grabbing a sprite at a point and it hanging down and stretching that point to the cursor. The problem is, I don't know how to code shaders. I was wondering if there is a existing shader or one I could use in the same way. Much appreciated thank you!

Spritesheet editor/extractor

With some more free time, I'd like to get back into learning C++ with the aims of exercising the grey matter and making some simple games. Some years ago I was using a program called darkFunction-Editor (github still there at https://github.com/darkFunction/darkFunction-Editor) to help me prepare spritesheets off the internet for use in a simple game. The developer (not active now) still has a youtube demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMZa3TG58lQ.

In using this tool I was able to (amongst other features)...

1. Import a spritesheet and (if needed) set it's background colour to transparent
2. Automatically find each sprite on the sheet (placing a box around each), and allow for some fine tunning of the boxes.
3. Allow me to select and name different sets of single frames and animations on the sheet for inclusion in the final output xml file.
4. Pack the sprites into as small a space as possible.
5. Save the sprite sheet offset pointers as an xml file, whereby I was able to use the pugixml library to traverse the xml file, allowing me to select the sprite frames I needed for display.

Unfortunately, it looks like his main website is down so I can't get the installer, and my limited skills mean I don't know how to build the installer file from his github page.

Does anyone if the installer file can be rebuilt (and show me how) - or (maybe better) - can you suggest another tool to at least cover these same steps as above. The output file would still need to let me traverse the sprites on the actual sheet. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to cut out individual sprites and animations from one/more sheets and allow me to create my own custom spritesheet.

[Edit\] A bit more playing about with Google results and, oddly, I was pointed to a 'hidden' page on this same github location...

https://github.com/darkFunction/darkFunction-Editor/releases

The "/releases" page now gives me access to the installer .jar file, which I've just tested by successfully installing and running this utility on my system.

I'm sure there are other utilities that would perform the same functions and provide useful extras. Would be interested to know of any recommendations.
