This is how I declared the List :
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using UnityEditor
It took me quite a while but I love EditorScripting :D
Assuming your data structure looks like this
public class ConversationTrigger : MonoBehaviour
{
public List conversations;
public void SaveConversations() { }
public void LoadConversations() { }
}
[Serializable]
public class Conversation
{
public string Name;
public bool Foldout;
public List Dialogues;
}
[Serializable]
public class Dialogue
{
public string Name;
public bool Foldout;
public List Sentences;
}
I came up with the following EditorScript. The idea is based on a former question of mine on How to select elements in nested reordeablelist.
It got quite compley as usual for EditorScript. I tried to comment a lot but if anything is unclear just ask me in the comments.
It is a huge pity that the ReorderableList
is not a documented features since it is so extremly powerful and useful ...
There are multiple things you have to override:
drawHeaderCallback
drawElementCallback
elementHeightCallback
onAddCallback
and in order to be able to ineract with them nested store the different ReorderableList
s in dictionaries:
[CustomEditor(typeof(ConversationTrigger))]
public class ConversationTriggerEditor : Editor
{
private ConversationTrigger _conversationTrigger;
[SerializeField] private ReorderableList conversationsList;
private SerializedProperty _conversations;
private int _currentlySelectedConversationIndex = -1;
private readonly Dictionary _dialoguesListDict = new Dictionary();
private readonly Dictionary _sentencesListDict = new Dictionary();
private void OnEnable()
{
_conversationTrigger = (ConversationTrigger)target;
_conversations = serializedObject.FindProperty("conversations");
conversationsList = new ReorderableList(serializedObject, _conversations)
{
displayAdd = true,
displayRemove = true,
draggable = true,
drawHeaderCallback = DrawConversationsHeader,
drawElementCallback = DrawConversationsElement,
onAddCallback = (list) =>
{
SerializedProperty addedElement;
// if something is selected add after that element otherwise on the end
if (_currentlySelectedConversationIndex >= 0)
{
list.serializedProperty.InsertArrayElementAtIndex(_currentlySelectedConversationIndex + 1);
addedElement = list.serializedProperty.GetArrayElementAtIndex(_currentlySelectedConversationIndex + 1);
}
else
{
list.serializedProperty.arraySize++;
addedElement = list.serializedProperty.GetArrayElementAtIndex(list.serializedProperty.arraySize - 1);
}
var name = addedElement.FindPropertyRelative("Name");
var foldout = addedElement.FindPropertyRelative("Foldout");
var dialogues = addedElement.FindPropertyRelative("Dialogues");
name.stringValue = "";
foldout.boolValue = true;
dialogues.arraySize = 0;
},
elementHeightCallback = (index) =>
{
return GetConversationHeight(_conversations.GetArrayElementAtIndex(index));
}
};
}

// if there are no elements reset _currentlySelectedConversationIndex

Adding new Conversations, give them names, fold them. If a conversation is selected add the new conversation after it
Adding dialogues and sentences and still being able to rearrange and (un)fold everything
