How the heck do you set "componentOrder" ??

Here’s a challenge, subclassing UUI Text,

AddComponentMenu is fine but how the heck do you componentOrder ???

Manual … Unity - Scripting API: AddComponentMenu

thanks!

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

[AddComponentMenu("UI/Text (Float)")]
[AddComponentMenu.componentOrder = 4] ??!?!??
public class FloatText:Text
    {
    public float _floatText;
    public float floatText
        {
        set
            {
            _floatText = value;
            text = _floatText.ToString("#.00");
            }
        }
    }

You set it in the constructor, see:

[AddComponentMenu("UI/Text (Float)", order:10)]

The constructor’s docs are incorrect as it is missing an overload.

Fascinating - thanks -

(*) indeed that parses, thanks!

(*) it’s weird it is “order” not “componentOrder” like in the doco. if you try “componentOrder” there it does not parse.

(*) interestingly it seems to work in an unusual way …

I had to use a value of "11’ to get this …

The constructor arguments to not have to match member names. The constructor argument could be called helloGoodbye and it wouldn’t make a bit of a difference.

Well, idk, count up starting from Selectable.
1 - Selectable
2 - Toggle Group
…
11 - FloatText

Thanks!
