Editor Helpers

Readable object labels for your own editor windows — without “(Script)”, and numbered for identical components.

Quick start

Before — Unity API	After — FastTools
new Label(ObjectNames .GetInspectorTitle(caster));	new Label(caster .GetDisplayNameWithIndex());

GetDisplayName()

Works on any UnityEngine.Object; a null or destroyed object returns string.Empty.

[AddComponentMenu]	GetInspectorTitle()	GetDisplayName()
none	Ability Caster (Script)	Ability Caster
"Gameplay/Ability" on AbilityCaster	Ability	Ability
"Gameplay/Ability" on a base class	Ability Caster (Script)	Ability Caster

GetDisplayNameWithIndex()

Works on Component. The number is the position among components of the same type on the GameObject; a null or destroyed component returns string.Empty.

Components on the GameObject	Labels
AbilityCaster	Ability Caster
AbilityCaster, AbilityCaster	Ability Caster (1), Ability Caster (2)
AbilityCaster, class FireCaster : AbilityCaster	Ability Caster, Fire Caster

Package sample

In EditorTools, GetDisplayName() titles the custom inspector of the AbilityConfig asset.
