Common use data types, and utilities for Unity that are high-quality and look and feel like a native part of Unity.
A serializable Dictionary with reordering elements, supports prefabs, and allows for lists as keys and values.
It also provides indication of which elements have duplicate keys and will not be added to the Dictionary. Duplicates are removed on domain reload (enter playmode, or recompile scripts).
UDictionaries are as easy to use like Lists, no bolierplate!
[serializeField] private UDictionary<string, float> _example = new UDictionary<string, float>();
A serializable HashSet with reordering elements, and support for prefabs.
It also provides indication of which elements are duplicates and will not be saved to the HashSet. Duplicates are removed on domain reload (enter playmode, or recompile scripts).
UHashSets are as easy to use like Lists, no bolierplate!
[serializeField] private UHashset<string> _example = new UHashset<string>();
Represents a point in time or a duration, provides a more user freindly way to set time than a float.
TimeValue duration = new TimeValue()
{
Minutes = 2,
Seconds = 35
};
vs
float duration = 155.0f;
Usage is simple as it is in effectively a wrapper around a float,
private TimeValue _duration = new TimeValue(2, 35);
private float effectActiveFor = 0
private void Update()
{
effectActiveFor += Time.deltaTime;
// You can use the implicit conversion.
if (effectActiveFor < duration)
{
// Do something...
}
// You can also use the time field directly.
if (effectActiveFor > duration.time)
{
// Do something..
}
}
It is fully integrated in to the editor with a clean property drawer.
object GetValue()
Gets the value of the field that the SerializedProperty is associated with. It may be different than the value of the SerializedProperty if the SerializedProperty has changed without calling serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties()
, or the field's value has changed without having called serializedObject.Update()
.
void SetValue(object value)
Sets the value of the field that the SerializedProperty is associated with. serializedObject.Update()
will need to be called for the value of the SerializedProperty of update the new value.
Type GetPropertyFieldType()
Gets the declared System.Type
of the field that the SerializedProperty is associated with.
If the field is [SerializedField] private ExampleClassA _exampleA = new ExampleClassA();
, then ExampleClassA
will be the type returned, and if the field is [SerializedReference private ExampleClassA _exampleA = new ExampleClassB();
, it will also return ExampleClassA
.
(In this example, ExampleClassB
inherits from ExampleClassA
)
Type GetPropertyValueType()
Gets the value System.Type
of the field that the SerializedProperty is associated with.
If the field is [SerializedField] private ExampleClassA _exampleA = new ExampleClassA();
, then ExampleClassA
will be the type returned, and if the field is [SerializedReference private ExampleClassA _exampleA = new ExampleClassB();
, it will also return ExampleClassB
, since ExampleClassB
is the value assinged to the field.
(In this example, ExampleClassB
inherits from ExampleClassA
)
FieldInfo GetFieldInfo()
Gets the FieldInfo
of the field that the SerializedProperty is associated with.
