| script-update-or-create | Write a `.cs` script file (create or overwrite) with the provided C# code. Validates syntax via Roslyn before write — invalid code is rejected with error details and the file is left untouched. Refreshes the AssetDatabase and delivers the final result via `requestId` after Unity finishes the triggered compilation. Use 'script-read' to inspect existing content first. |
Script / Update or Create
Updates or creates script file with the provided C# code. Does AssetDatabase.Refresh() at the end. Provides compilation error details if the code has syntax errors. Use 'script-read' tool to read existing script files first.
Inputs
filePath— required.cspath.content— C# source. MUST passScriptUtils.IsValidCSharpSyntax.requestId— required for the processing/delivered-later contract.
Behavior
Creates any missing parent directories, writes the file, then calls AssetDatabase.Refresh and schedules a post-compilation notification so the final response is delivered after Unity finishes the recompile.
How to Call
unity-mcp-cli run-tool script-update-or-create --input '{
"filePath": "string_value",
"content": "string_value"
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool script-update-or-create --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool script-update-or-create --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
Troubleshooting
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
