string The text entered by the user.

Description

Quick script editor.

// Simple script that lets you visualize your scripts in an editor window
// This can be expanded to save your scripts also in the editor window.

class EditorGUILayoutTextArea extends EditorWindow {
	var text : String = "Nothing Opened...";
	var txtAsset : TextAsset;
	var scroll : Vector2;

	@MenuItem("Examples/Script Visualizer")
	static function Init() {
		var window = GetWindow(EditorGUILayoutTextArea);
		window.Show();
	}
	function OnGUI() {
		var newTxtAsset : TextAsset = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(txtAsset, TextAsset);

		if (newTxtAsset != txtAsset) 
			ReadTextAsset(newTxtAsset);

		scroll = EditorGUILayout.BeginScrollView(scroll);
		text = EditorGUILayout.TextArea(text, GUILayout.Height(position.height - 30));
		EditorGUILayout.EndScrollView();
	}

	function ReadTextAsset(txt : TextAsset) {
		text = txt.text;
		txtAsset = txt;
	}
}
