Enum Watch For Changes

I have the following Editor code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEditor;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. [CustomEditor(typeof(GameEvent))]
6. public class EasyCommandEditor : Editor {
7.     override public void OnInspectorGUI(){
8.         DrawDefaultInspector();
9.         GameEvent targ = target as GameEvent;
10.  
11.         GameEvent.GameEvents newValue = (GameEvent.GameEvents)EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup(targ.gameEvent);
12.     }
13. }

Instead of drawing the enum to the Inspector, is it possible to just get the value when it changes?

 

You can use OnValidate function thats called when changes are made in the inspector.

 

Hey , check out my editor script I posted here:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/script-editor-creator.305078/

It also uses an enum ('type') which doesn't need to be displayed anywhere but still updates everything immediately, thanks to the serialized objects.

 

@Juice-Tin Thanks! That I think will do what I want!

I would like to do this instead of a switch:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(_evt != (GameEvent.GameEvents)evt.intValue){
2.  
3. }

But it doesn't seem to work because the two values are always the same. Any idea of a way to accomplish this?

 

If you want to check for a change on a Serialized property you can use the EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck and EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck function calls.

Code (CSharp):

1. SerializedProperty _evt = serializedObject.FindProperty("NameOfVariable");
2.  
3. EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
4. EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(_evt);
5.  
6. if(EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
7. {
8. if(_evt.intValue == EnumValue)
9. //specific code here
10. else if(_evt.intValue == AnotherEnumValue)
11. //code here
12. }
