Scriptable Object Manage Window
Unity Custom Editor Window for ScriptableObject Serialization & Addressables Integration
This repository presents a custom-built Editor Window designed to automate and simplify the management of complex ScriptableObject data structures in Unity. This tool supports full JSON serialization and deserialization, and integrates seamlessly with Unity's Addressables system — all from a user-friendly, tabbed editor interface.
Key Features
- Multi-tabbed Custom Editor Window for a clean and modular interface.
-
Export ScriptableObjects to JSON, with full support for:
- Nested classes
- Enums
- Polymorphic data structures and inheritance
-
Regenerate ScriptableObjects from JSON, preserving:
- Data integrity
- Field types
- Nested structures
- Accurate type mapping based on base and derived classes.
Addressables Integration
This tool goes a step further by automating asset setup for Unity’s Addressable Asset System:
- All generated assets are added to the correct Addressable Groups.
- Assets are tagged with appropriate Addressable labels based on their type/configuration.
- Ready for remote content updates, builds, and clean runtime use — no manual setup required.
Why It Matters
Managing complex data-driven systems in Unity often leads to repetitive tasks, error-prone manual setups, and bloated inspectors. This Editor Window:
- Automates asset generation from config files
- Supports version control-friendly JSON structures
- Enforces clean data pipelines for modular systems
Ideal for games with procedural content, large item databases, or layered gameplay mechanics powered by ScriptableObjects.
Built With
- Unity Editor API (CustomWindow, EditorGUILayout, Tabs)
- Newtonsoft JSON (or Unity's JsonUtility)
- ScriptableObject architecture with inheritance and polymorphism
- Addressables API (
AddressableAssetSettings,AssetLabelReference, etc.)
Project Status
This tool was developed and deployed as part of a real-world game development pipeline, dramatically improving productivity for large content teams.
