Question Can I get rid of a part of script template name for struct name?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using Unity.Burst;
3. using Unity.Entities;
4. using Unity.Mathematics;
5.  
6.     #ROOTNAMESPACEBEGIN#
7. public class #SCRIPTNAME# : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     class Baker : Baker<#SCRIPTNAME#>
10.     {
11.         public override void Bake(#SCRIPTNAME# authoring)
12.         {
13.             var entity = GetEntity(TransformUsageFlags.None);
14.         }
15.     }
16. }
17.  
18. #ROOTNAMESPACEEND#
19.  

That's my DOTS Authoring Script Template, for example, my script name is PlayerAuthoring. OK, It automatically generate "PlayerAuthoring" for the script name. and I wanna automatically generate "Player" for a struct name, It's like:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using Unity.Burst;
3. using Unity.Entities;
4. using Unity.Mathematics;
5.  
6. public class PlayerAuthoring : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     class Baker : Baker<PlayerAuthoring>
9.     {
10.         public override void Bake(PlayerAuthoring authoring)
11.         {
12.             var entity = GetEntity(TransformUsageFlags.None);
13.         }
14.     }
15. }
16. public struct Player : IComponentData
17. {
18.  
19. }

Any method achieves it?

 

I think you're overthinking or expecting too much from a bone-simple templating helper.

#SCRIPTNAME# is fed by the filename you choose.

The extra little struct you added is so short that I'd be embarrassed to add tooling to produce, but if you must, just run a little perl command or something which you can execute from your editor.

 

yeah that's really short but used a lot, If it can be achieved, it can save a lot of time of repeat XD

 

Ok, $50/hr, minimum two hours.

Oh, wait.

Code (csharp):

1. #!/bin/env perl -pi~
2. $B = $1 if /class (\w+?)Authoring/;
3. END { print "public struct $B : IComponentData\n{\n\n}\n" if defined $B; }

If you're on Windows...

 

A custom editor script to generate the template.

 

Here is my solution (MIT) and all, just open the Tools/Lurking Ninja/C# Templates Config menu and setup whatever templates you like. Put this in the Packages/ folder, obviously. You can even add shortcuts to any of your templates. (And I put this menu lower than the Create menu, so it's more usable in most cases)

 

FYI, for those, who are interested, my repos are back on github, so the C# template package is here and can be simply installed through package manager: https://github.com/LurkingNinja/com.lurking-ninja.csharp-templates.git
