I created a custom inspector that lets me duplicate an entry in a list. I have two problems.
(1) Entry 2 points to entry 1 in memory, so if I make a change to entry 1 the change is also made to entry 2.
(2) The entry I'm duplicating is a class with lots of sub-classes. Because of this, if I use new, it needs to be in a way that doesn't require me to write out a hundred fields.
If I use the default inspector to make a change to a value in a field, the link between the two entries is severed. This is what I'm trying to achieve w/o having to make a change in the default inspector. EditorUtility.SetDirty doesn't make a difference.
Is there a way to copy entry 1, bring over all of the data in entry 1 to entry 2, and sever the link between them? I suspect I need to use New. If I do need to use new, I'm not sure how to do this without re-adding the data in each field one by one.
Here is a snippet of my code:
CharacterValues.cs: Data for the item (original has more more data)
----------
using UnityEngine;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
[Serializable]
public class CharacterValues
{
public string nameOfItem;
public int itemGUID;
public List characterActions = new List();
}
Character.cs (Use this to store copy of a specific item's data)
----------
using UnityEngine;
public class Character: ScriptableObject
{
public CharacterValues CharacterInfo;
}
CharacterEditor.cs (custom inspector that displays fields for an item)
----------
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;
using System.Reflection;
[CanEditMultipleObjects]
[CustomEditor(typeof(Character))]
public class CharacterInspector : Editor
{
private Character character;
private Database database;
private List characterActions;
// assign currently open template to inspector
void OnEnable()
{
// get the database (store copy & pasted objects)
GameObject gameObject = GameObject.Find("Databases");
database = gameObject.GetComponent();
// get template
character = (Character)target;
}
// UPDATE
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
// show existing inspector
base.OnInspectorGUI();
// A bunch of code is here. action = an Actions entry in a list.
// Copy
if (GUILayout.Button("Copy"))
database.copiedActionNode = action;
// Paste
if (GUILayout.Button("Paste"))
{
if (database.copiedActionNode != null)
characterActions.Insert(actionID+1, database.copiedActionNode);
}
EditorUtility.SetDirty(character);
}
