Question Custom editor, how to retrieve an AudioClip?

Hi,
I'm making a custom editor for one of my MonoBehaviors and i'm trying to access a serialized AudioClip from the custom editor.
The AudioClip:

[SerializeField] AudioClip audioClip;

What I have tried:

Code (CSharp):

1. public AudioClip clip;
2.  
3. void OnEnable()
4. {
5.     clip = Selection.activeObject as AudioClip;
6. }

The issue with this is that the AudioClip always returns as null.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm relatively new to custom editors in unity.

 

Selection is never going to be an audio clip, it's probably going to be a game object in this case.

You'll want to read up on serialised properties: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SerializedProperty.html

They're the under the hood stuff that Unity uses to edit values without having everything public.

 

Thanks a lot that solved everything!
