Creating a menu in Unity is now easier than ever with the Menu Generator tool. This custom editor tool allows you to quickly build functional UI menus without manually placing each element. With just a few clicks, you can generate a structured menu inside your Canvas, complete with buttons, custom images, and text options.
The tool provides flexibility, letting you choose between standard Unity UI text or TextMeshPro for enhanced visuals. You can also enable arrow key navigation, making menu interactions smoother and more intuitive. Adjusting button sizes, spacing, and positioning is simple, ensuring the layout fits your design needs.
One of the most convenient features is menu positioning, allowing you to anchor your menu anywhere on the screen with preset alignment options. Whether you prefer a left-aligned menu, a centered design, or positioning it at the corners, the tool handles it seamlessly.
Once the menu is generated, you can immediately test its functionality in Play mode. The built-in navigation system lets you interact using both keyboard and mouse, with highlighted selections for clarity.
