Way to change patterns in a script in the inspector?

Unity Engine
1

I am trying to build an enemy in my game. In this process I usually try a lot of different stuff in one script only and when I am happy with the result I split it up in smaller scripts.

Lets say that I have put 3 different move patterns and 2 different attack patterns in this big script. Is there a way to easily select between these in the inspector? I was thinking somewhere in the line of radio buttons or a drop down menu that I could connect to if statements in the script.

You probably want an enum. So you do something like:

enum MovePattern {Simple = 0, Complex, Other}
public MovePattern movePattern;

So then you expose 3 options to your editor. Then if your main update you can switch them:

switch(movePattern)
{
case Simple:
runSimpleCode()
break;

case Complex:
runComplexCode()
break;

case Other:
runOtherCode()
break;
}

Thank you it worked :slight_smile:
Just needed to write the cases like this:

case MovePattern.Simple:

And also make the enum public.

Cheers. :slight_smile:
