What is the status of this API. I seem to remember finding a blog posting or two that said this API will be deprecated in the future. Is that the case?
Its not clear if I can use Editor/CustomEditor/OnInspectorGUI to create properties of a MonoBehavior whose editors will be customised, or if this just applies to whole components.
CustomEditor/OnInspectorGUI is definately in there to stay, so hack away!
For forseeable future, it will only be used for replacing the entire inspector
Thanks for the clarification!
It would be good if CustomEditor could apply to properties of a MonoBehavior.
I am thinking I would like to create a generic curve editor, not related to animation and more like the photoshop levels editor, but I want to be able to have multiple editable curves in a single object.
Does Unity itself use the EditorGUI classes, reflecting over the MonoBehavior to find its properties and display them.
Also: is CustomEditor an Advanced-only feature?
The unity editor iterates over the C+±based serialization, calling into EditorGUI from a huge switch statement. So far, this is not pluggable - and although it would be nice to add, it’s not a high priority for us.
that being said, we are currently working on a generic curve editor so your specific use case will hopefully be solved. We’re focusing on editing animations, but if we have any time left over, a popup curveeditor is next in line.
I’d say just use the existing curve editor from the resources page and then wait for us to do this.
(and the CustomEditor is in indie as well)
Hmm. Popups are a bit annoying and break the flow of work. An inline curve editor with the option to popup would make more sense to me.
