Dropdown menu in inspector

[fierce cedar]

I've been searching for so long and I haven't figured out how to create a dropdown menu on the inspector that calls a function every time I select an option. does anybody know how to do that? 😭

example: if we had this dropdown menu in the inspector and we change it from integer to float, a function would be called

This is the callback for when the Editor changes and validates. You could put your code in there

Yea, after researching for a while I got that, but how can I create the dropdown?

Any variable of an Enum type will show up as a dropdown in the editor

Just like that?

This is exactly what I want

so I guess that was okay

Yep, but I wouldn't name something type, it's too close to the class name Type, in general it's best to avoid naming things like actual classes

aight, changed it to heatType. And now how do I call a function depending on the heatType?

like, how do i get the index of heatType?

You'd just check if it's equal to one of the types

if (heatType == HeatmapType.Path)
