Asset Search Attribute for Unity
Note: this project will no longer be updated as this code has migrated to Search-Windows. To use the new version, uninstall this version and install Search Windows, then change LS.Attributes to LS.SearchWindows in your using statements.
Use this attribute on your serialized object fields to add a button that opens a search window for your assets based on the type. The search window will keep elements sorted by the folder structure.
This can be used with Generics (which usually can't use the quick search on the normal object field!) and interfaces (though there are some drawbacks to this).
You can also use a property name for a type.
//...
using UnityEngine;
using LS.Attributes;
public class Example : MonoBehavior
{
[SerializeField]
[AssetSearch] //Creates a search window button that filters for Sprites in Assets
Sprite sprite;
} public class AssetVariable<T> : ScriptableObject
{
public T Value;
}
public class Example : MonoBehavior
{
[SerializeField]
[AssetSearch] //Creates a search button that filters for AssetVariable<int>'s in Assets
AssetVariable<int> test;
} public interface ITest
{
void Do();
}
public class TestBase : ScriptableObject, ITest
{
public override void Do()
{
Debug.Log("TestBase");
}
}
public class Example : MonoBehavior
{
[SerializeField]
[AssetSearch(typeof(ITest)]
ScriptableObject ITestObject;
void Start()
{
(ITestObject as ITest)?.Do();
}
}Note: this WON'T work because interfaces aren't serialized
public class Example : MonoBehavior
{
[SerializeField]
[AssetSearch]
ITest ITestObject;
//do stuff with ITestObject
} public class GenericReference<T>
{
[SerializeField]
[AssetSearch(typePropertyName: nameof(ReferenceType))] //will get type from the property ReferenceType
Object _value;
Type ReferenceType => typeof(T);
public T Value
{
get => (T)_value;
set => _value = (Object)value;
}
}
public interface ITest
{
void Do();
}
public class Example : MonoBehavior
{
[SerializeField]
GenericReference<ITest> variable;
void Start()
{
variable.Value.Do();
}
