ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown
ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown is an attribute for the Unity Inspector. It is used for showing ScriptableObjects which are created in your project, in dropdown menu and select multiple of them in Inspector.
Usage Example
-
Clone this repository or download the latest release package available (There isn't an example folder in
.unitypackage). -
There are some options here:
- Create a
ScriptableObjectclass which you want to create specified objects by that.
using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Create Block")]
public class Block : ScriptableObject
{
// Some fields and functions
}- Create a class that inherits another
ScriptableObjectclass.
using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Blocks/Sand")]
public class SandBlock : Block
{
// Some fields and functions
}- Create a abstract
ScriptableObjectclass then antoher class which inherits this abstract class.
using UnityEngine;
public abstract class AbstarctBlock : ScriptableObject
{
// Some fields and functions
}using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Blocks/Water")]
public class WaterBlock : AbstarctBlock
{
// Some fields and functions
}- Create an interface and some
ScriptableObjectclasses which inherit this interface. The interface is used for grouping.
public interface IBlock
{
// Some properties and functions signature
}using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Blocks/Dirt")]
public class DirtBlock : ScriptableObject, IBlock
{
// Some fields and functions
}using UnityEngine;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Blocks/Snow")]
public class SnowBlock : ScriptableObject, IBlock
{
// Some fields and functions
}- Create ScriptableObjects in the project.
- Use
ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdownattribute by setting type of specifiedScriptableObjectderived class and optional grouping (Default grouping isNone) behindScriptableObjectReferencetype variable like these in MonoBeahviour or ScriptableObject derived classes.
MonoBehavior
using ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown;
using UnityEngine;
public class BlockManager : MonoBehaviour
{
// Without grouping (default is None)
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block))] public ScriptableObjectReference targetBlock;
// By grouping
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block), grouping = ScriptableObjectGrouping.ByFolder)]
public ScriptableObjectReference targetBlockByGrouping;
// Derived class
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(SandBlock))] public ScriptableObjectReference derivedClassTargetBlock;
// Derived abstract class
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(AbstarctBlock))] public ScriptableObjectReference derivedAbstractClassTargetBlock;
// Interface
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(IBlock))] public ScriptableObjectReference interfaceTargetBlock;
}
ScriptableObject
using UnityEngine;
using ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Create Block Manager Settings")]
public class BlockManagerSettings : ScriptableObject
{
// Without grouping (default is None)
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block))] public ScriptableObjectReference targetBlock;
// By grouping
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(Block), grouping = ScriptableObjectGrouping.ByFolder)]
public ScriptableObjectReference targetBlockByGrouping;
// Derived class
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(SandBlock))] public ScriptableObjectReference derivedClassTargetBlock;
// Derived abstract class
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(AbstarctBlock))] public ScriptableObjectReference derivedAbstractClassTargetBlock;
// Interface
[ScriptableObjectMultiSelectDropdown(typeof(IBlock))] public ScriptableObjectReference interfaceTargetBlock;
