Notes

  • As mentioned in Issue #4 custom editors don't play well with EasyButtons. As a workaround you can Inherit from ObjectEditor instead of Editor, or manually draw the buttons using extension DrawEasyButtons method.
  • Older versions of Unity might not understand the reference to EasyButtons runtime in tbe EasyButtons editor assembly definition. If you experience issues, you can re-add the reference, or remove the asmdefs completely.
