Instancer

VRLabs’ Instancing system that copies files over for use in the Assets directory and can also runs install scripts

How it works

It gets called by a small dummy file included in the package, and when called copies all the files over, and replaces references to old files with references to new files.
It can also run an install script callback once it’s done with this.

Click the VRLabs/[PackageName] button in the toolbar and select an output folder to copy to.

You can use the VRLabs/Instance Any Package button to instance and rename any package in the Assets folder.
It will ask you for the package name and the new instance name.
- Note that it will only rename things that start with the package name, so if you have e.g. controller parameters that start with a different name, they wont be renamed and will clash with the initial package.
- Note that materials will reference shaders from the original package as shaders are not copied over.
- Note that big packages might crash your Unity Editor and cancel the renames, so notall packages will work.
