Not sure where to start with editor scripts

[TWolfe]

I’m trying to write some scripts to do two things:

Sort items in the hierarchy alphabetically
Add tags to texture files

Im assuming these would have to be done through editor scripts, but i’m having trouble finding any resources. Does anyone know anywhere i should start?

Thank you!

Hi @TWolfe and welcome,

Editor scripting is still on the roadmap for a public release, though you can still write your own with the current unofficial API. Check this thread (it’s old, but most things hold true today):

Scripting the PlayCanvas Editor

Do you have any plans for allowing a user to write logic for the PlayCanvas designer? For example: Creating procedural levels that add entities directly in the Designer Extending its functionality e.g. creating a path tool for navigation (camera, entities etc.) Something like maxscript only you already have javascript and a scripting system in place. Thanks for the great work!

And here is a community framework to simplify writing editor scripts:
