Hello,
i try to do the following:
within Edit Mode i add a Script to an Gameobject and initalize the Scripts values. All happens via an EditorWindow-Class.
One of the values inside TheComponent is a generic list. In this list should be different subclasses of a single parent class. My idea was to create an interface, the parent class implements it, and then creating subclasses of the parent class, which finally would be stored in the list.
So much about the theory…
I spend some time testing now this stuff, but i couldn’t get it to work the way i want it, so the brief question would be: Is it actually possible to solve the described problem in Unitys Javascript?
Although i I found little to none documentation about how to use interfaces and generic lists in Javascript i refer to this site http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/MonoUpgradeDetails.html which promises that there seems to be a way to use them.
Without any further comment (it might be a little messed), here is one of my latest test-setups:
TheComponent.js:
#pragma strict
#pragma downcast
import System.Collections.Generic;
// test 1
var words:List.<String> = new List.<String>(); // init in Start()
var words2:List.<String> = new List.<String>(); // init in edit mode
// test 2
var books:List.<IBook> = new List.<IBook> (); // init in Start()
var books2:List.<IBook> = new List.<IBook> (); // init in edit mode
// test 3
var notebooks:List.<Notebook> = new List.<Notebook>(); //init in Start()
var notebooks2:List.<Notebook> = new List.<Notebook>(); //init in edit mode
function Start () {
/// test 1
Debug.Log("Test 1:");
words.Add("a");
words.Add("b");

Debug.Log(word);
}
