  Inventory items can be generated through script with:

  AC.KickStarter.inventoryManager.CreateNewItem ();
  

  This returns an InvItem class that you can then update with label, texture etc.

  For the in-scene object, you're best off starting with a base object/prefab that has all the intended components - including Mesh Renderer, Mesh Filter etc - and then have your script duplicate it, and fill in all the necessary fields, Mesh included.

  Stick with ActionList assets for any Hotspot interactions, and use the Set Interaction Parameters component to dynamically update the ActionList with its own data. This would be a bit tricky through script, but is possible. Best leave this one for last and get the above working first.

  Very, very basic starter code:

  using UnityEngine;
  using UnityEditor;
  using System.Collections;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using AC;
  
  public class ItemObjectEditor : EditorWindow
  {
  
      private Mesh mesh;
      private GameObject basePrefab;
  
  
      [MenuItem ("Adventure Creator/Addons/Item object generator", false, 10)]
      public static void Init ()
      {
          // Get existing open window or if none, make a new one:
          ItemObjectEditor window = (ItemObjectEditor) EditorWindow.GetWindow (typeof (ItemObjectEditor));
      }
  
  
      private void OnGUI ()
      {
          basePrefab = (GameObject) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Base object:", basePrefab, typeof (GameObject), true);
          mesh = (Mesh) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Mesh:", mesh, typeof (Mesh), false);
  
          if (GUILayout.Button ("Generate"))
          {
              Generate ();
          }
      }
  
  
      private void Generate ()
      {
          if (basePrefab == null || mesh == null) return;
  
          var newObject = GameObject.Instantiate (basePrefab);
          newObject.GetComponent<MeshFilter> ().mesh = mesh;
          // etc
      }
  
  }

  Thanks Chris, as always a really neat way to make things more efficient.

  I'll take a look at this as a way to semi automate a few of these, and try my best not to get side tracked with efficient tools rather than getting my game finished!

  Much appreciated.
