Multi purpose interface UI Scripting

Hi all
I am trying to figured out how can I write a general script that can be use for a multipurpose interface UI.
Basically I want that the final user is able to set all the variables throughout the editor without going into scripting.
At the moment I have created some variables that I assign via scripting in order to retrieve other variables of a specific script. However this does not solve the problem because I still need to go into scripting in order to initialize them. For example:

Code (CSharp):

1. HourVar = MyScript.Instance.Hours;
2. MySlider.value = HourVar;

another time I would want for example:

Code (CSharp):

1. HourVar = MyOtherScript.Instance.Hours;
2. MySlider.value = HourVar;

Is there a way to assign MyScript.Instance.Hours to HourVar without scripting?
Don't know if this makes sense but basically I just want a graphic method in order to assign variables to different scripts.
Many thanks in advance.

 

Are you looking for a visual scripting method, or a way to dynamically change logic through assets? You could do this using Reflection, or by having the classes in question register themselves, but whether that's a good idea depends on what you're using it for.

Also, I think this question should probably be in the Scripting forum.

 

No I am not looking for a visual scripting method. Not sure what are Reflection or register classes but I will look into it.
I am only say that there must be a way to assign different scripts to variables without manually changing my general canvas script
In other words I want to build UI sliders, button etc.. that can be assigned to different scripts in the editor.
At the moment I have:

Code (CSharp):

1.  private float HourVar;

Code (CSharp):

1.     HourVar = MyScript.Instance.Hours;
2.     MySlider.value = HourVar;
3.  

But leater on I would want to say for example

Code (CSharp):

1.  private float HourVar;

Code (CSharp):

1.     HourVar = MyOtherScript.Instance.Hours;
2.     MySlider.value = HourVar;
3.  

Yes im my canvasScript I could just search and replace MyScript.Instance.Hours, with MyOtherScript.Instance.Hours; but I want to do this in the editor

I will re-post on scripting , thanks for now

 

Reflection with attributes is probably your answer.

 

As for the Property -> UI there's not much that can be done without scripting.
In UI -> Property perspective you could use the UnityEvent that comes with the UI components.
As well as you can define your own.

On slider on the inspector that would be a gray box OnValueChanged with +-.

Declare a method that is called via inspector -> drag & drop the object that's implementing it to the UnityEvent.
Make sure your UnityEvent has same parameters as you're outputing via your UI component. E.g. slider would have float property by default.

If you define your method like so:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void DoSomethingWithFloat(float dynamicFloat) {
2. // Do whatever
3. }

You'll be able to assign the method with "dynamic" float variable passed to the event.
