Question by Patyrn · Feb 24, 2011 at 03:00 AM · javascriptinspector

Get a list of options for variable in the script inspector?

I feel like I've seen this before, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is there a way to have a variable have a list of options you can choose in the inspector?

Depending on the kind of variable you want, you could use an enumeration (enum). Enums are automatically serialized and displayed as a little dropdown list in the inspector. e.g.

// declare the enum somewhere visible public enum MyEnumeratedType { FirstOption, SecondOption, ThirdOption }

// in your script, declare a public variable of your enum type public MyEnumeratedType option;

The underlying value is just an integer, starting from 0 (in this case, FirstOption would have a numeric value of 0).

Of course with a custom inspector, any type can have a list of options.

Combined with this http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/7950/how-to-declare-and-use-a-enum-variable-in-javascript got me my solution. Thanks for the help.

Thanks man! I didn't know the underlying value is just an integer! I was getting crazy, hardly realizing it is not a list of strings even if they look like unquoted strings.

I think you should bold that phrase for anyone having the same trouble.

Thanks again!

Is there a way to use integers as a variables?

e.g.

 public enum $$anonymous$$yIntegersType
 {
 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128
 }
 public $$anonymous$$yIntegersType intType;
