4) inserting or deleting data in an array of inspector – editing an array in unity is convenient! -Until one day you plan to delete or insert data from the middle ... This seems like an impossible task, but it can actually be done-inserting data (copying a data), checking the data in the array and then ctrl-d (Windows), command-d (MAC). Delete the data in the middle of the array: Shift-delete two times (the first time the data is emptied and the data is deleted the second time).

5) In Inspector text edit box rumor only need to Option-return, and Windows under this feature is "missing" in general you need to copy it from another text editor (such as Notepad) with text wrapping-This is a bit lame, So someone wrote an editor script to do this: just create an editor folder in your project directory and put the script (CreateNewLine.cs) inside.

You can also attach an icon to the script--Select the script in the Project panel and click its icon in Inspector. The icon for this script will be automatically appended to all objects that are bound to this script, and this function will be extremely useful if you are doing something like a path point.

9) Align to Vertex, align to collider– to align to vertex: Press and hold "V" and then click on the target vertex, then drag the mouse to the vertex in another mesh that you want to align. Align to Collider: Hold down the SHIFT key while using the Translate tool.
