Auxiliary data class for editor

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to create simple custom editor to transform pairs CardSuit&Sprites to Dictionary>

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

[CustomEditor(typeof(CardsView))]
public class CardsViewEditor : Editor {

	public override void OnInspectorGUI() {
		var script = target as CardsView;

		Array suitValues = Enum.GetValues (typeof(CardSuit));
		foreach (CardSuit suit in suitValues) {
			PairSuitSprites pair = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<PairSuitSprites>();
			pair.suit = suit;
			EditorGUILayout.LabelField (pair.suit.ToString ());
			SerializedObject serializedObject = new UnityEditor.SerializedObject(pair);

			SerializedProperty serializedPropertySprites = serializedObject.FindProperty("sprites");
			EditorGUILayout.PropertyField (serializedPropertySprites, true);
			serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties ();

			EditorGUILayout.Space ();
		}
	}
}
public class PairSuitSprites : ScriptableObject {

	public CardSuit suit = 0;
	public List<Sprite> sprites;
}

And get smth like this

Looks good. But when I try to drag sprites into field or change Size - nothing happens :frowning:
Perhaps it’s because of “public class PairSuitSprites : ScriptableObject” ?

How can I describe auxiliary data class to use it only in Editor to store temp data (like “PairSuitSprites”) ?

Does it help to add this.serializedObject.Update(); at the beginning of OnInspectorGUI()?
