Can't see a public variable on a overloaded Event Trigger script
public class XXX: EventTrigger { public MusicToLoad musicToLoad = MusicToLoad.CURRENT; }
Hi all, I have the script above called XXX, which inherits from Event Trigger. However, when I try to use my own public enum MusicToLoad, it doesn't show up in this script.
Does the Event Trigger class block variables from being "seen" in the Inspector?
What should I do to workaround this issue? Thanks in advance for any help!
Best Regards, Jason
Hello Jason,
This is simply due to how the inspector for EventTrigger works. Basically, other components need a CustomEditor that inherits from Editor, while EventTrigger needs a EventTriggerEditor.
A simple solution is add a simple editor for it. In your Assets folder, create an Editor folder if it doesn't exist already, create a XXXEditor.cs, and put the following code:
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.EventSystems;
[CustomEditor(typeof(XXX))]
public class XXXEditor : EventTriggerEditor
{
//This method is called every time Unity needs to show or update the
//inspector when you select a gameobject with an XXX component.
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
//Here the inspector will draw the default, generic inspector, which will show basically
//everything in a component, including the variables you want
DrawDefaultInspector ();
//And then we will draw the inspector for event types and events, which is the default behaviour.
base.OnInspectorGUI ();
}
}
I hope you get from this example you get the idea on how to customize the inspector further for your own needs.
Hi iBicha,
Thanks for your answer, as this is no longer relevant to me (I eventually used Debug mode), I have accepted your answer, but I would still try this method in my spare time!
Thank you for your help!
