Question by hmb3141 · Aug 12, 2015 at 08:55 AM · editorselectionassetdatabase

Settting Selection.activeObject to multiple items

I'm writing a little editor script to save and recall (reselect/highlight them) a selection of items from the project browser.

I've got the saving part working. But when recalling I can't figure out how to select more than one item in the project browser tab. Here's my code, showing the selection of just ONE object.

     [MenuItem("Igloo/Build Packages/Select Windows Items")]
     public static void SelectWindowsPackageItems() {
         string savePath = Application.dataPath + "/IglooTools/Settings/WindowsPackagePaths.csv";
         string[] paths = ReadCSV(savePath);
 
         Selection.activeObject = AssetDatabase.LoadMainAssetAtPath(paths[0]);
 
         foreach (string path in paths) {
            
         }
     }

Selection.objects or Selection.transforms are the ways to get/set several selected objects. Since you're working with assets, you want to use objects.

That's perfect, thanks. Here's my full method.

     public static void SelectWindowsBuildItems() {
         string savePath = Application.dataPath + "/IglooTools/Settings/WindowsPackagePaths.csv";
         string[] paths = ReadCSV(savePath);
 
         Object[] objects = new Object[paths.Length];
 
         for (int i=0 ; i<paths.Length ; i++) {
             objects[i] = AssetDatabase.Load$$anonymous$$ainAssetAtPath(paths[i]);
         }
 
         Selection.objects = objects;
     }
