Hey guys!
I’m trying to create a editor script that uses the multi-object editing from Unity, like here [http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/Multi-ObjectEditing.html](http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/Multi-ObjectEditing.html). When I’ve many objects selected with the same component applied to them and with differente values, I’ll have a dash on the field to representate this.
I’ve been using SerializeObject and SerializeField in my script, but looks to be not enough.
Here is a short sample of code of a script with the editor extension that shows how I use SerializeObject and SerializeField.
**MonoBehaviour Script:**
```auto
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{
public float Speed = 10.0f;
}
```
**Editor Script:**
```auto
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[CustomEditor(typeof(Test)), CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class TestInspector : Editor
{
private SerializedObject m_Object;
private SerializedProperty m_Speed;
private void OnEnable()
{
m_Object = new SerializedObject(target as Test);
m_Speed = m_Object.FindProperty("Speed");
}
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
m_Object.Update();
EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(m_Speed);
m_Object.ApplyModifiedProperties();
}
}
```

try this instead:
```auto
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[CustomEditor(typeof(Test)), CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class TestInspector : Editor
{
private SerializedProperty m_Speed;
private void OnEnable ()
{
m_Speed = serializedObject.FindProperty ("Speed");
}
public override void OnInspectorGUI ()
{
serializedObject.Update ();
EditorGUILayout.PropertyField (m_Speed);
serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties ();
}
}
```
I believe using the “target” object only picks the last selected object as the value to use/display. In other words, don’t create a new SerializedObject based on target, but rather use the builtin serializedObject member.
I guess you could also create a SerializedObject based on “targets” instead, but I don’t see the point when you already have serializedObject as a member.

Both ways worked to me…
Using “targets” instead of “target” and using the builtin serializedObject member…
Thanks Democre!

This works:
```csharp
[CustomEditor(typeof(MyMonoScript)), CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class MyMonoScript_Editor : Editor {
private MyMonoScript[] myMonoScript;
private Vector3 startingPoint;
private void OnEnable() {
Object[] monoObjects = targets;
myMonoScript = new MyMonoScript[monoObjects.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < monoObjects.Length; i++) {
myMonoScript[i] = monoObjects[i] as MyMonoScript;
}
}
private void OnSceneGUI() {
for (int i = 0; i < myMonoScript.Length; i++) {
Debug.Log(myMonoScript[i].transform.position.x);
}
}
}
```
