Serialized variable not showing in the Inspector?

I'm having some problems getting one of my variables displaying in the inspector and I don't know what the issue is. Any help is appreciated!


Inspector

Inventory Class


Item Class

 

I don't think that the editor can display a List of Lists, just like it can't display a dictionary.

 

It also can't serialize a stack or a queue, unfortunately.

 

Should I perhaps consider a different implementation for an inventory system then?

 

Don't know if this will be useful for what you need, but you can serialize a list of classes. I've used it on occasion for holding mixes of properties in a list or array (say an Enemy Prefab, a Transform to Spawn at, and Health to give it)

Code (CSharp):

1.     public class TargetType : ScriptableObject
2.     {
3.         public List<DamageScenario> scenarios;
4.  
5.         public void OnDamageRecieved(Target target, WeaponProfile weaponProfile)
6.         {
7.             DamageType damageType = weaponProfile.damageType;
8.  
9.             if (scenarios.Exists(x => x.action == damageType))
10.             {
11.                 int i = scenarios.FindIndex(x => x.action == damageType);
12.                 scenarios[i].reaction.Raise(target);
13.             }
14.         }
15.     }
16.  
17.     [System.Serializable]
18.     public class DamageScenario
19.     {
20.         public DamageType action;
21.         public BaseDamageReaction reaction;
22.     }

You might be able to use polymorphism to store all your different items under the one class.

 

What are you actually using the stack for? If it's to literally stack the same item, like 10 health potions, I would use a quantity field in the slot instead. That'll save you a lot of logic headaches peeking and popping stacks as you manipulate non-stackable items.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. [System.Serializable]
3. public class InventorySlot
4. {
5.   public Item item;
6.   public int quantity;
7. }
8.  

Then use a List of InventorySlots instead of a a List of Stacks of Items. It'll show up in the inspector.

 

That was my intention yes. I've gone ahead and implemented your suggestion as it's much easier to work with. Thank you.
