Is it possible to re-use custom propertyDrawer inside customEditor ?

Hello guys,

Simple question, is there a way inside a Custom Inspector to call/use a specific PropertyDrawer to manage the display of a property ? I ask this, because sometimes I have to re-write code that really looks the same when I want a custom inspector for a class that has a property for which I have already wrote a PropertyDrawer.

Thanks

 

Yes you can!

You have to get the field as a serialized property, then draw it using editorguilayout.propertyField (property)

It's a bit of a faff to do this iirc (I don't have code with me ) if the field belongs to the custom editor. Do you have any sample code to go off, so I can give you a more defined solution?

 

Thanks for the tips. I will try that out and see what happens

 

Hi,

I was able to find this snippet of code which may help you.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     public class MyScriptEditor : Editor
3.     {
4.         public override void OnInspectorGUI()
5.         {
6.  
7.  
8.   var it = serializedObject.GetIterator();
9.             EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
10.  
11.             bool Enter = true;
12.             while (it.NextVisible(Enter))
13.             {
14.  
15.                 if (  it.name == "Robot")
16.                 {
17.                     EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(it);
18.                 }
19.                 else
20.                     Enter = EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(it);
21.  
22.             }
23.  
24.             if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
25.             {
26.                 so.ApplyModifiedProperties();
27.  
28.             }
29. }

This pretty much draws the inspector as default, except for my field labelled Robot

 

I have just made a quick test and it works. Thanks !
