Camera Angle Editor isn't available from the Tools Menu

Post by Matt »

Hi Everyone

According to the documentation the Camera Angle Editor is available from: Tools → Pixel Crushers → Dialogue System → Tools → Camera Angle Editor.

However, when I navigate to 'Tools → Pixel Crushers → Dialogue System' I don't see an option of Tools.

The only options I see from 'Tools → Pixel Crushers → Dialogue System' are the following:
-Welcome Window
-Dialogue Editor
-Help
-Import
-Wizards
-Extras

I'm using Dialogue System for Unity v2.2.39 and Unity 2022.3.6f1.

Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Matt

If not, are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Hi Tony

Thanks for your reply.

No, I don't see it there. There aren't any messages in the console.

In your project, are any of these files present?
  • Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Scripts / Editor / Dialogue Editor / VariableViewWindow.cs
  • Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Scripts / Editor / Tools / CameraAngleEditor.cs
  • Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Scripts / Editor / Tools / Localization Tool / LocalizationToolsWindow.cs
  • Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Scripts / Editor / Tools / UniqueIDWindow.cs
  • Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Scripts / Editor / Tools / Renamer / DialogueSystemAssetRenamerWindow.cs.
They should all appear in the Tools submenu.

Hi,

I don't know how to explain that, unless it's a Unity editor bug.

Try changing line 25 of CameraAngleEditor.cs to:

Code: Select all

[MenuItem("Tools/Pixel Crushers/Dialogue System/Camera Angle Editor", false, 3)]
Does the Camera Angle Editor menu item appear in Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System?

Strange. Maybe it's a Unity bug, as you said.

Thanks for helping me out anyway.

Hi,

It's a hack, but you could edit the [MenuItem] attributes of all of those scripts listed above to move them out of the "Tools" submenu if you need to access them. Maybe it's fixed in 2022.3.7.
