Editor.CreateEditor

Parameters

Description

Make a custom editor for targetObject or targetObjects.

By default an appropriate editor is chosen that has a matching CustomEditor attribute. If an editorType is specified, an editor of that type is created instead. Use this if you have created multiple custom editors where each editor shows different properties of the object. Returns NULL if objects are of different types or if no approprate editor was found.

Consider a script WaypointPathEditor for editing the Transforms of a wayPoint array.

			for (var i: int = 0; i < optionsList.Length; i++) {
				optionsList[i] = myWayPath.wayPointArray[i].name;
			}

		GetWaypoints();

			// If there isn't a Transform currently selected then destroy the existing editor

And the script attached to a waypath GameObject:

#pragma strict
// Note: this is not an editor script.
public class WaypointPath extends MonoBehaviour {
	public var wayPointArray: Transform[];
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

// Note: this is not an editor script.
public class WaypointPath : MonoBehaviour {
    public Transform[] wayPointArray;
}
