EditorGUILayout.AttachToPlayerDropdown

Parameters

Description

Display a drop-down button and menu for the user to choose and establish a connection to a Player.

This is the same control that is used in the toolbars of the Profiler Window, Frame Debugger or Console Window. The drop-down will list all available Players and Editors that your Editor can connect to and that are discoverable. It also offers an entry to directly connect to an IP address. You will need to provide the state of the connection used for your EditorWindow. To get one, use EditorGUIUtility.GetAttachToPlayerState in OnEnable and remember to dispose of the state in OnDisable of the EditorWindow you're using it in.

This class is experimental because it currently only works for the connection that the Profiling tools and the Console use. In a future release this will work with PlayerConnection.

            case ConnectionTarget.Editor:
                // The name of the Editor or the PlayMode Player would be "Editor" so adding the connectionName here would not add anything.
                Profiler.enabled = GUILayout.Toggle(Profiler.enabled, "Profile the Player in the Editor", EditorStyles.toolbarButton);
