Question by Stradigos · Dec 31, 2014 at 11:37 PM · inspectorserializationinheritance

DrawDefaultEditor causing field to be serialized multiple times?

 The same field name is serialized multiple times in the class or it's parent class. This is not supported: Base(MonoBehaviour) m_Name
 UnityEditor.Editor:DrawDefaultInspector()
 GridInspector:OnInspectorGUI() (at Assets/Editor/GridInspector.cs:12)
 UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

I don't get it. Here's an example grid class below:

 [Serializable]
 public class Grid : MonoBehaviour {
 
     [SerializeField]
     private int m_Width;
     [SerializeField]
     private int m_Length;
     [SerializeField]
     private float m_TileSize;
     [SerializeField]
     private string m_Name;
     
     [SerializeField]
     private int[,] m_GridTile;
     
     public Grid ()
     {
         m_Name = "";
     }
     
     void OnGUI ()
     {
         m_Width = EditorGUILayout.IntField("Width", m_Width);
         m_Length = EditorGUILayout.IntField("Length", m_Length);
         m_TileSize = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Tile Size", m_TileSize);
         //m_Name = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Name", m_Name);
     }
 }

Here's my inspector code

 [CustomEditor(typeof(Grid))]
 public class GridInspector : Editor
 {
     [SerializeField]
     private Grid grid;
     
     public override void OnInspectorGUI()
     {
         DrawDefaultInspector();   
         
         grid = (Grid)target;
      
         if (GUILayout.Button("Regenerate"))
         {
             //grid.MakeGrid();
         }
     }
 }

I would understand if I'm trying to re-declare the serialization but I'm not.

FUN FACT

If I change m_Name to m_Namee this works perfectly... is m_Name a hidden variable somewhere in the base class?

if base class has public variable,you can also see this variable in the inspector after the sub class serialize. so when you sub and base classes both have same name of variables,the unity doesnt know which one need serialize
