Inspector button to generate code?

Question

So what I can't find information about is how to get the inspector button to generate code. For example I want to create ten level parameters, but do not want to constantly have to go into the LevelManager type out each one, but instead be able to type in all the strings and click Add Level and it will generate the code.

So instead of typing out another level02, I hit the inspector Add button and it will generate this for me. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

 [System.serializable]
 public class level01
 {
     //code
 }
 
 
 public class LevelManager : MonoBehavior
 {
     public level01 level01Parameters;
 }

There is a "Create Script dialog" editor extension in the Asset store, which generates scripts. Maybe you can look at that code and make your own from that:

But there are other ways to make what you want.

I personally, would make a class which I would call something like "CustomLevel", and this class would have all the level data I would need for each level.

So when clicking on your "Add Level" button in the editor, it will create a new instance of the CustomLevel class and store it in a list.

And then in the inspector you could have the whole list of all your custom levels, and by choosing one from the list, the data for that specific level will be presented and you can edit it as you wish.
