How to use the [ContextMenuItem] with a customized Editor?

I am new to the unity editor and menu stuff. Just as I am following the official tutorial, I created an editor script with some fields created by using the DrawPropertiesExcluding() function and some other fields created by manually adding EditorGUILayout. When I try to add [ContextMenuItem] before those manually added fields it just doesn't work. Anyone know the fix?

Code (CSharp):

1. [CustomEditor(typeof(LevelScript))]
2. public class TesterEditor : Editor
3. {
4.     public override void OnInspectorGUI()
5.     {
6.         LevelScript myLevel = (LevelScript)target;
7.  
8.         DrawPropertiesExcluding(serializedObject, "position");
9.  
10.         serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
11.  
12.         EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Level", myLevel.Level.ToString());
13.  
14.         myLevel.position = EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field("Position", myLevel.position);
15.  
16.     }
17.    
18. }

then I tried this:

[ContextMenuItem("Reset Position", "ResetPosition")]

    public Vector3 position;

but it doesn't work while if I put the ContextMenuItem above another variable it works perfectly.

 

The

EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field

method doesn't know anything about the property or its attributes, so it can't show the context menu. You can add a custom context menu using GenericMenu but better is probably to work with SerializedProperty and EditorGUILayout.PropertyField. This lets Unity know which property the fields belongs to and should also allow it to handle the context menu attribute.

 

Thanks!! I'll look into those things!
