EditorGUILayout and Materials

Hi,

Does anyone know how to add a field in an editor script where people can drag and drop materials in the inspector?
There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the documentation... Is there a method for this?
EditorGUILayout.MaterialField doesn't exist, why not?

Thanks!

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/EditorGUILayout.ObjectField.html is probably what you're after?

 

Doesn't work unfortunately. GameObject and Material are different types, and it won't let you drag a material on to the GameObject field in the inspector if you set it up like you're suggesting.

Seems very strange you can't just set a MaterialField property in GUILayout.

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
3.         npc.mat = (Material)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField("material", npc.mat, typeof(Material));
4.         GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
5.  

C# and npc.mat is the field in my class
public Material mat;

 

Aha!
Thank you muchly. Using JS, so had to twiddle the code to get it right:

Code (csharp):

1. GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
2.                 var allowSceneObjectsP : boolean = !EditorUtility.IsPersistent(target);
3.                 target.elementArray[i].particleMaterial = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField("Particle Material", target.elementArray[i].particleMaterial, Material, allowSceneObjectsP);
4.                 GUILayout.EndHorizontal();

But that did the trick. Hadn't clocked that I could set the System.Type in there.
Thanks!

 

I tried soooo many versions of the ObjectField syntax before I found this post. This did exactly what I wanted, the casting makes it non-intuitive.
