Suggestion or Add-On for TODO: Reminder

Not sure if this is the right spot but had a suggestion for Unity.

A TODO: option. For example in the Hierarchy under the scene view where you have all objects, camera etc. Maybe have a button that illuminates or something if you select the object and select TODO reminder. Also in the Project view for example if you select a script or animation file or anything else maybe an option for TODO: reminder and a illuminated icon appears in front or after the file/object remining you you wanted to do something else in the file/object or whatever.

When your done you could just unmark for TODO reminder same way.

For example if you have a folder called Animation. If you have an animation file in that folder that you selected to add a TODO reminder in front of the main folder under project view a small illuminated icon will appear to remind you you have a todo under that folder tree.

 

You can make your own!

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class TODO : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     [Header( "Put your comments here:"), Multiline]
6.     public string todo;
7.  
8.     [Header( "Check here when you've done it.")]
9.     public bool done;
10. }

to highlight all of them in your scene, type

t:TODO

in the search field:



If you like you can make a ScriptableObject one too, and sprinkle little todo notes around your project.

You can even put a todo-like string field right into any one of your personal scripts to leave yourself notes.

You can pre-fill it with what needs to be done in the

void Reset() {}

method.

You can also implement

void OnValidate()

to verify script instances are correctly set up.
