Lists about assetpathattribute

[ByronMayne]

No problem!

Hey Nanof,

AssetPathAttribute does currently support generic list. The following does work

    [AssetPath.Attribute(typeof(GameObject))]
    public List<string> m_Players;

Cheers,
Byron

Hi Byron,

that's what I tried but it seems it's not working for me, when I declare the List I get in the inspector "Attribute invalid for type List 1" and it's not possible to drag and drop any prefab.

Cheers
Nanof

Hey Nanof,

Asset Path Attribute is just a fancy inspector for string fields. You are seeing that because your code most likely looks like the following.

[AssetPath(typeof(Object)]
public List<GameObject> m_Players;

You need to make sure it's the following

[AssetPath(typeof(Object)]
public List<string> m_Players; 

If you have a list of GameObjects there is no point of using AssetPathAttribute because you are using a hard reference.

I have this

[AssetPath.Attribute(typeof(Object))] public List<string> myList;

and really it's not working :(
I'm in Unity 2018.1

[ByronMayne]

Hmmm,

It looks like in 2018.1 property.propertyType != SerializedPropertyType.String is false for List<string>. which is weird. Any who I will try to take a look when I get home.

[ByronMayne]

It should not be a big deal to fix but I will have to install 2018.1.

[nanof]

Ah, that should explain the weird behavior, thanks Byron!

[ByronMayne]

Hey Nanof,
What is the exact version you are using? In 2018.1.0f2 it works fine with the code copied pasted.

Thanks,
Byron

Ok I've discovered that the problem is related to having Odin Inspector plugin installed in the project, it seems that its serialization system is colliding with AssetPath, don´t know if is something that could be "fixed" or they are just incompatible

[ByronMayne]

Yeah I avoid using Odin myself.
Could you tell me what property.propertyType evaluates too in your code?

[nanof]

It's "Generic", I post the complete content of a property

[ByronMayne]

Hey,

Could you change the line
if (property.propertyType != SerializedPropertyType.String)
to
if (property.propertyType != SerializedPropertyType.String || (property.isArray && property.arrayElementType == "string"))

From there if that works it's not a big deal to create a workaround. However if the drawer is not functionally that is a bigger issue.

[nanof]

Unfortunately it's not working :(
