    I have a public AnimationCurve that shows up in the inspector, but I'd like to choose the ranges of the grid manually.

    So when I click on the Animation curve in the inspector window I want this to show up with the grid a certain size etc. This image was created using EditorGUILayout.CurveField. So I need this:

    upload_2017-8-18_21-36-57.png

    instead of this:

    upload_2017-8-18_21-36-5.png


    How can I make it so that when I click on a regular public AnimationCurve in the inspector, the window shows up just as I can make it show up with EditorGUILayout.CurveField?

    Any help is really really appreciated.

    I have this code in a regular non-editor script

    Code (CSharp):
    1.     public class RotationTimelineData
    2.     {
    3.  
    4.         public AnimationCurve Curve;
    5.  
    6.     }

    FIXED IT!

    I had to write a custom PropertyAttribute! Now I can just write this:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.    public class RotationTimelineData
    2.     {
    3.         [Curve(5f, 5f)]
    4.         public AnimationCurve Curve;
    5.  
    6.     }
    and that will set a range for the grid!

    I'm happy I learned something today!

    Hi Alex,
    It would be very nice if you could share your PropertyAttribute as I definitely could have use of it too :)

    Sure! I have an exam in about 20 minutes but I'll clean it up a bit and post it after that :)

    Code (CSharp):
    1. // CurveDrawer.cs
    2. // Created by Alexander Ameye
    3. // Version 1.1.0
    4.  
    5. using UnityEngine;
    6. using UnityEditor;
    7.  
    8. [CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(CurveAttribute))]
    9. public class CurveDrawer : PropertyDrawer
    10. {
    11.     public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label)
    12.     {
    13.         CurveAttribute curve = attribute as CurveAttribute;
    14.         if (property.propertyType == SerializedPropertyType.AnimationCurve)
    15.         {
    16.             if (curve.b) EditorGUI.CurveField(position, property, Color.cyan, new Rect(curve.PosX, curve.PosY, curve.RangeX, curve.RangeY));
    17.         }
    18.     }
    19. }
    20.  
    Code (CSharp):
    1. // CurveAttribute.cs
    2. // Created by Alexander Ameye
    3. // Version 1.1.0
    4.  
    5. using UnityEngine;
    6.  
    7. public class CurveAttribute : PropertyAttribute
    8. {
    9.     public float PosX, PosY;
    10.     public float RangeX, RangeY;
    11.     public bool b;
    12.     public int x;
    13.  
    14.     public CurveAttribute(float PosX, float PosY,float RangeX, float RangeY, bool b)
    15.     {
    16.         this.PosX = PosX;
    17.         this.PosY = PosY;
    18.         this.RangeX = RangeX;
    19.         this.RangeY = RangeY;
    20.         this.b = b;
    21.     }
    22. }
    23.  
    Don't forget to put CurveDrawer.cs in an editor folder. You can use this code by doing something like:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [Curve(0, 0, 1f, 1f, true)]
    2.         public AnimationCurve RotationCurve;
    I picked the curves to be cyan but you can of course choose something else.

    Good luck!

    Great work! Thank you!
    I changed your code a little to display the name of the AnimationCurve, since it was blank in the editor:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. if (curve.b) EditorGUI.CurveField(position, property, Color.cyan, new Rect(curve.PosX, curve.PosY, curve.RangeX, curve.RangeY), label);
