SerializedObject and SerializedProperty are classes for editing properties on objects in a completely generic way that automatically handles undo and styling UI for prefabs.
SerializedObject is used in conjunction with SerializedProperty and Editor classes.
See Also: SerializedProperty class, Editor class.
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor;
public class MyObject : ScriptableObject { public int myInt = 42; }
public class SerializedPropertyTest : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { MyObject obj = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<MyObject>(); SerializedObject serializedObject = new UnityEditor.SerializedObject(obj);
UnityEditor.SerializedProperty serializedPropertyMyInt = serializedObject.FindProperty("myInt");
Debug.Log("myInt " + serializedPropertyMyInt.intValue); } }
