splines from .txt files

[Lila]

Hey, thanks for the pointers.
I am learning about Editor scripting as fast as I can. It seems the most useful aspect of working in Unity.
It still doesn't work, but here is my new attempt:

My idea so far is to drop the custom editor on a prefab of a CurvySplineSegment, then drop a text file into it, click READ and automate adding a CurvySpline control point for each line. I hope I am going about this the right way. I shall keep doing research.

Heres the script, and advice or tips or direction would very welcome:

[font]using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;


[CustomEditor( typeof( splineReader ) )]
public class splineReader : Editor
{

    public TextAsset track;
    string fileRead = track.text;

    public override void OnInspectorGUI()

    {

        base.OnInspectorGUI ();

        EditorGUILayout.LabelField ("Spine Reader");

        if( GUILayout.Button ( "READ!"))
        {
            Debug.Log("pressed read");

            string lines = fileRead.Split("\n")

            while (lines != null)
            {
            
                string[] position = fileRead.Split (" ");
        
                CurvySpline.Add(new vector3 ([0],[1],[2]))

                Debug.Log("made a CP")

                string lines = fileRead.Split ("\n");

            }

            Debug.Log("done making a spline")

        }
                
                
    }
