string[] C# problem

Hey everyone. I need to make a C# script that has an array of strings that I can modify in the editor. I have this right now:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class debugaxes : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public string[] axes;
7.     private string data = "Debug Axes:\n\n";
8.    
9.     void Update()
10.     {
11.         data = "Debug Axes:\n\n";
12.         for(int i = 0; i < axes.Length; i++)
13.         {
14.             data += axes[i] + " : " + Input.GetAxis(axes[i]) + "\n";
15.         }
16.         guiText.text = data;
17.     }
18. }
19.  

When I try to put in the Size of axes in the inspector, it changes it back to zero, but I don't know why. Anybody have a solution or workaround?

 

Maybe you could try initializing the array? i.e.:

Code (csharp):

1. public string[] axes = new string[];

That's just a guess, not sure if it works.

 

I still haven't been able to get a public string array working in either js or c#, even with the suggestions you guys have. The only solution I could find is using a private array instead, which works for me since I won't be changing the values much until I move the script to other projects.

 

I've run into the same problem as you now, and you're right, there doesn't appear to be any workaround. Can we expect this to be fixed in 1.5.1? Or is there another way that one could get around this bug in the short term?

 

Code (csharp):

1. public string[] yo = {" "};

That kicks the inspector into working.
