Renaming Serialized Classes
I've followed the format in this post and extend it to classes: http://docs.unity3d.com/460/Documentation/ScriptReference/Serialization.FormerlySerializedAsAttribute.html
It's mentioned in the blog comments that this technique should work for classes as well, though I've failed to get the project compiling after such a rename.
I'm trying to rename a mono behaviour class from 'MUIWidget' to MIUWidgetAgent'.
This is a snippet from the code I used. Any suggestions?
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Serialization;
using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent(typeof(Agent))]
[System.Serializable]
[FormerlySerializedAs("MUIWidgetAgent")]
public class MUIWidgetAgent : MonoBehaviour
{
.......
"FormerlySerializedAs" attribute unfortunately only works for fields. As actually mentioned in the documentation. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Serialization.FormerlySerializedAsAttribute.html "Use this attribute to rename a field without losing its serialized value."
Unity does not provide any alternatives however, there are plugins like Odin which do.
