SerialzedObjects

[rapid ridge]

It would be something like this

for(int i = 0; i < charactersProperty.arraySize; i++)
{
    using (var charSO = new SerializedObject(charactersProperty.GetArrayElementAt(i).objectReferenceValue)
    {
      // draw the fields of the charSO that you want.
    }
}

and "using" allows me to get each of the values individually

[rapid ridge]

No using basically makes it so that the SerializedObject that you create will get properly cleaned up after you are done using it

[green gulch]

okay that makes sense

so can i just access the character's parameters by using the member variables

[rapid ridge]

Huh?

[green gulch]

wait

sorry

i meant can i just access the member variables directly

and display them individually

[rapid ridge]

charactersProperty.GetArrayElementAt(0).objectReferenceValue is the same as characters[0] basically

But then to access the properties of that UnityEngine.Object you need to make a SerializedObject for it

@green gulch

// Get the character property at index 0.
SerializedProperty characterArrayProp = charactersProperty.GetArrayElementAt(0);

// Create a SerializedObject for the value of the property we just got.
var charSO = new new SerializedObject(characterArrayProp.objectReferenceValue);

// Get the foo property from the character object.
SerializedProperty fooProp = charSO.FindProperty("foo");
// Set the value of the property.
fooProp.intValue = 42;

// Apply the changed value to the character.
charSO.ApplyModifiedProperties();

This is the equivalent

characters[0].foo = 42;

okay, i think i get it, i'll let you know if i have more questions

[tawdry badge]

No

I can toggle my foldout but nothing is showing up. What do I need to change? https://pastebin.com/TXZPi7C6

Are there any elements in the collection?

Also are there ay errors

[green gulch]

Yes

There are elements

[rapid ridge]

Are you using C# properties and [SerializeField] with private fields, or public fields?

[green gulch]

Oh I’m getting one error

It says on line 29 that object reference is not set to instance so I just forgot to name it

Oh wait

Not even that I don’t even have a name variable I just had a brain fart

Thanks, everything works now

[green gulch]

I was wrong, some things still aren't working. Only the name gets displayed in the inspector, and only one of the characters will show up, not more than one. Also I can't actually update anything

here's what the script looks like now.

Firstly you can use EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(..) which will help cutdown on the code

Also are you using C# properties and [SerializeField] with private fields, or public fields?

For example, what is Health?

[green gulch]

public

[rapid ridge]

So public int Health;?

[green gulch]

yes

[green gulch]

also what do i do this in place of

[rapid ridge]

Any time you just want the default control/field for a property

like moveSpeed.floatValue = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Move Speed", moveSpeed.floatValue);

Would just be EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(moveSpeed);
