    Hi,

    I made a custom editor and I set the parameter "editorForChildClasses" to true.
    But for one of the class child, I wish to have a completely different custom editor.
    Except Unity still loads the parent custom editor.

    Is there a way to force Unity to load the custom editor of my choice? I wish to have the liberty to choose depending on the context.

    Thx!

    You could make a derived type of your custom editor for your child type and override it's OnGUI method. Then you can call 
    base.OnGUI
    where needed, or your alternate inspector code.

    Thx for the tip.

    Anoter thing I found is that Unity always load the cutsom editor of the class prior to the parent one AFTER rebooting Unity.
