Creating new arrays through the Inspector.

I'm trying to program a script which is attached to a GameObject so that it displays an integer entry box in the Unity Inspector so that when the user enters a number greater than 0, it then creates the stated number of GameObject arrays beneath it. The length of these created arrays should also be configurable with each having their own integer entry box within the Inspector which allows the user to define the length of each of those individual arrays.

I am able to create arrays which are displayed in the Inspector by writing them into the script individually e.g.:

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject[] wave1Enemies;
2. public GameObject[] wave2Enemies;

However I would like to make this configurable through the Inspector if possible instead of having to return to the script to add additional arrays.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to approach this and my searches haven't yielded anything useful, perhaps because I'm lacking the correct terminology to describe what I'm trying to create.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

You'll need to nest some serializable classes, something like:

Code (csharp):

1. [System.Serializable]
2. public class GameObjectArray
3. {
4.   public GameObject[] GameObjects;
5. }

And then have a varying array of those.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public GameObjectArray[] Arrays;
3.  

 

Hi Kurt, thanks for your reply.

I finally had some time to tinker with this and it seems perfect, much appreciated!
