How to keep private variables, while being able to access them in the custom EditorWindow.
I am making an editor for character stats. However, I would be forced to set the variables to public, or at least internal. How can I keep them private.
I am working here:
public class EntityDatabaseEditor : EditorWindow
{
[MenuItem("Window/GameSystems/EntityDatabase")]
static void Init()
{
EditorWindow window = GetWindow(typeof(EntityDatabaseEditor));
window.minSize = new Vector2(600, 400);
window.Show();
}
}

I was able to access private members by Reflection:
public static class EditorReflection
{
/// <summary>
/// Returns a _private_ Property Value from a given Object. Uses Reflection.
/// Throws a ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the Property is not found.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Type of the Property</typeparam>
/// <param name="obj">Object from where the Property Value is returned</param>
/// <param name="propName">Propertyname as string.</param>
/// <returns>PropertyValue</returns>
public static T GetProperty<T>(this object obj, string propName)
{
if (obj == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("obj");
PropertyInfo pi = obj.GetType().GetProperty(propName, BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
if (pi == null) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("propName", string.Format("Property {0} was not found in Type {1}", propName, obj.GetType().FullName));
return (T)pi.GetValue(obj, null);
}
/// <summary>

public static T GetField<T>(this object obj, string propName)
{
if (obj == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("obj");
Type t = obj.GetType();
FieldInfo fi = null;
while (fi == null && t != null)
{
fi = t.GetField(propName, BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
t = t.BaseType;
}
if (fi == null) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("propName", string.Format("Field {0} was not found in Type {1}", propName, obj.GetType().FullName));
return (T)fi.GetValue(obj);
}

public static void SetProperty<T>(this object obj, string propName, T val)

}

{

public static string GetPropertyName<T>(Expression<Func<T>> propertyLambda)
{
var me = propertyLambda.Body as MemberExpression;
if (me == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException("You must pass a lambda of the form: '() => Class.Property' or '() => object.Property'");
}
return me.Member.Name;
}
}
Example:
EditorReflection.SetProperty(item, EditorReflection.GetPropertyName(() => item.Name),
EditorGUILayout.TextField("Name", item.Name));
