If Statements(or something similar) in Scriptable Objects

For the action rpg I'm working on I'm using scriptable objects for items. Instead of having multiple different scriptable objects for all the item types(ex: weapons, ranged weapons, consumables) I want to just have one. So pretty much what I would like is a enum containing all the item types and if say ranged weapons is selected I want ammo type to appear. If this is too little info ask me for more Thank you!

 

It sounds like you're looking for a custom inspector editor. See https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/editor-CustomEditors.html to get started.

 

If your doing editor inspector work I'd recommend this asset. There is a unity asset store spring sale coming up in a few days so maybe it will even be on sale.

Thank you for the reply I have decided to use custom unity editor windows. I just have one question maybe I missed something but how do you go about saving the editor input into a scriptable object type format? Thank you!

 

Off the top of my head I don't know. I usually use scriptable objects for database and runtime stuff but as for saving I usually convert it to JSON and save it that way for longer term stuff like settings or save files. There is a way, so do some googling on it. Now if you just want to save it for use in the editor if you reference it then any changes you make will stick. It's just when you build the application by default it will always have the initial values the build had on release. Actually saving it to a new file / .asset I think gets around that limitation but not sure.

Quick google pulled this up.
