hey there!! I have come across these scripts of yours while searching for something similar I needed for my project and wanted to implement it... But I couldnt figure out what the Extensions is all about... coz its throwing me errors.

Thanks

Hi ! Wow it's been a while but I confirm it still works with newer version of Unity.
Here is the code for the utility function HexToColor :

public static Color HexToColor(string hex)
{
    Color c = Color.black;
    ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString(hex, out c);
    return c;
}

You can put it in a static class named Extensions or wherever you want to call it.

Enjoy :)

Hi!! Thanks for the quick reply...
There is another function in the Extension class:
Extensions.RandomRangeVector(min, max);
😅

Here it is :

    public static Vector3 RandomRangeVector(Vector3 min, Vector3 max)
    {
        return new Vector3(UnityEngine.Random.Range(min.x, max.x), UnityEngine.Random.Range(min.y, max.y), UnityEngine.Random.Range(min.z, max.z));
    }

I managed to eliminate all the errors in the script but when applying the script on a gameobject, I am getting the following exceptions and the variable doesnt show up in the inspector

Unity Version: 2021.2.20f1

Hey did you put Vector3RangeDrawer.cs in Editor folder ?
What version of Unity are you using ?

This script should not be directly applied to GameObject, it is a new variable type you can put inside other MonoBehaviour C# scripts.
See example file above (first file).

Yes the Drawer class was put inside the editor folder

the unity version: 2021.2.20f1

Yeah, I have created a variable of this data type and tried it... but didnt work.. I thought I was missing out something so I directly added the example script on a gameobject but still getting this error😶
