LOYAL-Spawn-Menu-Unity

A fast, context-aware, and extensible popup menu for spawning GameObjects directly in the Unity Scene View.

Why we built this

We realized how much time was lost to the standard Unity workflow: creating an object in the Hierarchy, adding components, and then manually moving it into position on the map. We wanted a seamless, uninterrupted creative flow. We built this tool to provide instant, hotkey-driven object spawning with smart raycast positioning and full keyboard navigation.

Installation

Via Unity Package Manager (UPM)

1. Open Unity and go to Window > Package Manager.
2. Click the + button and select Add package from git URL....
3. Paste the following URL: https://github.com/loyal-studio/LOYAL-Spawn-Menu-Unity.git
4. Click Add.

Usage

1. Open the Menu: Hover your mouse anywhere in the Scene View and press Shift + A.
2. Navigation & Search: * Start typing to instantly filter primitives, lights, and components.
   • Navigate the menu fully via keyboard using Up/Down Arrows and hit Enter to spawn.
   • Use Escape to clear your search, go back a folder, or close the menu entirely.
3. Add Custom Providers: You can easily add your own game-specific prefabs or tools to the menu without modifying the core package. Just create a class that implements the ISpawnProvider interface, and the tool will automatically register it using Unity's TypeCache.

Requirements

• Unity: 2021.3 or newer (utilizes UnityEditor.TypeCache and ShortcutManagement).
