Custom Inspector in C#

Unity Engine
1

Hi all,

I’m an experienced C# dev but new to Unity. For some reason I just can’t get a simple Inspector to work in the editor. Even using the sample code at:

Perhaps I don’t understand this correctly. I have a class “/Assets/Scripts/CameraBarrier.cs” which inherits from MonoBehavior. This class is supposed to contain a path which limits the area my camera can move in.

Next I have a class: “/Assets/Editor/CameraBarrierEditor.cs” which inherits from Editor. This would have an on OnSceneGUI method.

However in Unity if I add the script to an empty GameObject and click on the game object, I get “Instance of CameraBarrierEditor couldn’t be created. The script class needs to derive from ScriptableObject and be placed in the Assets/Editor folder.”

I’ve tried examples that use js files and they seem to work.

The Editor code looks like this:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;

namespace UnityEditor
{
    [CustomEditor(typeof(CameraBarrier))]
    public class CameraBarrierEditor : Editor
    {
        override public void OnInspectorGUI()
        {
        }

        public void OnSceneGUI()
        {
        }
    }
}

And the script class:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class CameraBarrier : MonoBehaviour
{

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	
	}
}

Any ideas?

Thanks

You cannot use namespaces in Unity. Or at least not for objects Unity has to work with.

Not sure where I got the idea to use the namespace, but anyway.

Thanks, removing the namespace did solve the issue.
