generate_input_helper

generate_input_helper is a simple tool written in c++.

Why should I use this tool instead of using strings

If you want change an input name.

String

You have to change everywhere in your project this can be long and some can be forgotten therefore creating errors

Tool

Just rename your variable and it will change everywhere

If you have many input.

String

This can be very long like several hours in extreme case.

Tool

Less than 2 minutes and 1 of these 2 minutes is for reading the tuto

Tutorial

context

Exe location - C:\My\Custom\Path\helper.exe

Godot project file location - C:\My\Other\Custom\Location\project.godot

I have set 3 custom input in godot

• custom1
• custom2
• custom3

Tuto

In cmd at exe location

> helper.exe

The program ask you "Enter project.godot path : "

> C:\My\Other\Custom\Location\project.godot

The program ask you "Enter the output path : "

> C:\A\Location\I\Have\Decided\

The program ask you "Set the file and class name" no space or special character

> MyInputs

The result will be

public static class MyInputs
{
    public static string custom1
	{
		get
		{
			return nameof(custom1);
		}
	}
	public static string custom2
	{
		get
		{
			return nameof(custom2);
		}
	}
	public static string custom3
	{
		get
		{
			return nameof(custom3);
		}
	}
}
