Usage

ShowProperties Attribute

Apply the [ShowProperties] attribute to any ScriptableObject property to display the properties of whatever object is assigned.

using ScrutableObjects;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleMonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
	[ShowProperties]
	public ScriptableObject ScriptableObjectProperty;
}

LockObjectAtRuntime Argument

Use the LockObjectAtRuntime property to disable changing the ScriptableObject reference at runtime in the editor.

using ScrutableObjects;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleMonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
	[ShowProperties(LockObjectAtRuntime = true)]
	public ScriptableObject ScriptableObjectProperty;
}

Note that this does not prevent all ways of changing the object reference at runtime, so write your code defensively.

Lists and Arrays

The [ShowProperties] attribute can be applied to lists and arrays as well.

using ScrutableObjects;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleMonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
	[ShowProperties]
	public List<ScriptableObject> ScriptableObjectList;
	
	[ShowProperties]
	public ScriptableObject[] ScriptableObjectArray;
}

Apply to Types

To automatically apply to specific types of ScriptableObject, derive a new property drawer from ScrutableObjectDrawer for that type.

using ScrutableObjects.UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(ExampleAsset), true)]
public class ExampleAssetDrawer : ScrutableObjectDrawer
{

}
