Custom Editor not working :(

Questions & Answers
1

I’m started to work with custom editors for a class called StoryEvent. each StoryEvent needs to have a Category. As the Editor intro ( Unite 2011 - Intro to Editor Scripting - YouTube) advised, I use SerializedObject. However, the script doesn’t work. I know have a custom editor with only a category field. but when I drag my category it will not be added. what do I do wrong?

using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;

[CustomEditor(typeof(StoryEvent))]
public class StoryEventEditor : Editor
{
		private SerializedObject _object;
		private SerializedProperty _category;

		void OnEnable ()
		{
				_object = new SerializedObject (target);
				_category = _object.FindProperty ("category");
		}
	
		// Update is called once per frame
		public override void OnInspectorGUI ()
		{
				_object.Update ();
				Category c = (Category)_category.objectReferenceValue;
				EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Category", c, typeof(Category), false);
				if (GUI.changed) {
						_category.objectReferenceValue = c;
				}
				//EditorUtility.SetDirty (_object);
				_object.ApplyModifiedProperties ();
		}
}

You are not assigning the value returned to anything when you call EditorGUILayout.ObjectField.

But since it’s a SerializedProperty you can use EditorGUILayout.PropertyField instead:

EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(_category);

It will pick an appropriate field for the type.

On another note, why call Update() directly? If you want the object to update while in editor you can use ExecuteInEditMode
