Resolved Creating class members in the inspector

Hello,

I was trying to change my code logic, and I guess I misunderstood something:

At first I had this logic of a deck of cards which was a List of multiple cards objects like this

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField]
2.     List<GameObject> bornDeck;

that I can edit in the inspector, and populate it within the inspector, it was fine.

but Now that I need to "link" my deck to some attributes too, I think I needed to make a class
like this one:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Deck
2. {
3.     public string name;
4.     public List<GameObject> cards = new List<GameObject>();
5.     public List<int> attributes = new List<int>();
6.  
7. }

but I foolishly think that it would show in the inspector when declare it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField]
2.     Deck tryDeck = new Deck();

Errr... it didn't show.
What should be the correct declaration for my usage in the inspector?

 

You need to mark your class as serializable:

Code (CSharp):

1. [System.Serializable]
2. public class Deck

 

Oh ok I wasn't aware of that.
thank you

 

Don't get confused by doing

new Deck()

SerializeField doesn't allow nulls because it's a value serialization.
An empty object will be instantiated no matter what.
Just do

Code (csharp):

1. [SerializeField] Deck tryDeck;
