Inspector button for custom class
I know I can add buttons to monobehaviour based classes using editor extension class, but I can't seem to find any solution on how to add buttons to my custom classes.
Namely I have a class that should store pos,rot,scale and some others stuff and I want it to have editor button in Inspector so I can just move the object as I want in editor then save its position values.
This is usefull for me when I have array of objects of this class to easily just move object and click save instead of writing down that stuff then entering it manually.
Thanks in advance!
If I get what you mean you just want a Button in a custom editor? If not so, please say, IF so just GUILayout.Button() will do the trick.
I think u didn;t get it dude. Example:
[System.Seriazible]
ClassB
ClassA : $$anonymous$$onobehavior
ClassB[] ArrayofClassB = new ClassB[w/e];
How can i extend the ClassB to have button so that in editor when i open array list i have the button for each object in array?
EDIT: I've tried to do it classical way, but then I get error that I cant convert UnityEngine.Object to ClassB object.
Allright, so just for my information it's setup like this:
[System.Serializable]
public ClassB
{
//Stuff
}
public ClassA : $$anonymous$$onobehaviour
{
ClassB[] Array = new Class[w/e];
}
ALLRIGHT! I'll just post all of my code (It's been done quite quick, but it's tested!)
Class B:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[System.Serializable]
public class ClassB
{
public string Name = "";
public ClassB(int ID)
{
Name = "Button " + ID;
}
}
Class A:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ClassA : MonoBehaviour {
public ClassB[] Arraything = new ClassB[5] { new ClassB(1), new ClassB(2), new ClassB(3), new ClassB(4), new ClassB(5) };
}
Editor Class :
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[CustomEditor(typeof(ClassA))]
public class ClassAEditor : Editor
{
bool IsFoldout = false;
public override void OnInspectorGUI ()
{
ClassA Target = (ClassA)target;
IsFoldout = EditorGUILayout.Foldout(IsFoldout, "Buttons");
if(IsFoldout)
for(int i = 0; i < Target.Arraything.Length; ++i)
{
GUILayout.Button(Target.Arraything[i].Name);
}
}
}
Remember that the Editor class needs to be in an Editor folder! Hope this works for ye!
Thank you man I forgot to mark this as valid answer, good job!
Actually it is a myth that editor classes need to be in an editor folder:
#if UNITY_EDITOR
[CustomEditor(typeof(MyClassName)), InitializeOnLoadAttribute]
public class MyClassNameEditor : Editor
{
MyClassName myClass;
SerializedObject so;
void OnEnable()
{
generator = (MyClassName)target;
so = new SerializedObject(myClass);
}
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
DrawPropertiesExcluding(so, "m_Script");
so.ApplyModifiedProperties();
so.Update();
if(GUILayout.Button("MyClassButtonLabel"))
{
myClass.DoStuff();
}
}
}
#endif
I came up with this a while back and have been hoarding it. Feel free to use it inside any script you want. Generally I do it on the script I am working on.
I have modified it to used titles instead of showing the script, and I removed that, so it will look naked at the top.
But it works great and alleviates the need for nonsense editor folders that make everything stupid ugly.
