Unity-Convenience-Extensions

Some convenience extensions I use in every project. It's just one file, grab it and throw it in your project!

• byte[].ToByteArray() and struct.BuildFrom(byte[] bytes)
  • Shorthand converting structs to and from byte arrays.
• Transform.TransformPointUnscaled(Vector3 position) and Transform.InverseTransformPointUnscaled(Vector3 position)
  • Translate and rotate a position without using the transform's scale.
• Transform.Reset(), Transform.ZeroAll(), and Transform.ZeroPosRot()
  • Sets local position to 0, rotation to 0, and sometimes scale to (1, 1, 1). Reset and ZeroAll are identical.
• GameObject.GetCreateComponent<T>()
  • Get a component on this gameobject. If it doesn't exsit, then add one and return it.
• List.GetRandom() and T[].GetRandom()
  • Returns a random element from an array or list.

Usage

All of these methods appear as methods, as if they were built into Unity. As an example, you can call this.GetCreateComponent<SpriteRenderer>() from a MonoBehavior. Just download the Extensions.cs file and add it to your Unity project.
