Eldoir/Array2DEditor

Use 2-dimensional arrays in Unity's Inspector.

Array2DEditor

Use this if you want to deal with 2D arrays easily within the inspector of Unity.

Getting Started

For a quick import into an existing project, just get the UnityPackage. It also contains some examples.

The Array2DEditor folder on this repo is an empty project with only the plugin imported! 🙂

To get started:

• Just use the types defined by Array2DEditor, such as Array2DInt, Array2DBool, Array2DString...
• Don't forget to add using Array2DEditor on top of your script.
• You can then use the method GetCells() or GetCell(int x, int y) on your variable to get the values from your array at runtime!

See it in action

Create arrays from your own types!

To do that:

• Create a new class inheriting from CellRow<T> with your own type as the T type.
  • See the classes in CellRowTypes as an example.
• Create a new class inheriting from Array2D<T> with your own type as the T type.
  • See the existing Array2D<T> classes that you can find in the Array2DTypes folder as an example.
• Create a new class inheriting from Array2DDrawer and put it in an Editor folder.
  • See the existing Array2DDrawer classes that you can find in the Editor/PropertyDrawers folder as an example.
• If your type is an enum, you can make your PropertyDrawer inherit directly from Array2DEnumDrawer. The code will then be trivial.
  • See Array2DExampleEnumDrawer as an example.

Notes

• The plugin currently does not display well with collections of Array2D's (such as arrays or lists).
• Array2D's don't display in a ScrollView, so you're limited to a certain grid width before it goes out of the Inspector window. On a 1080p screen with a fullscreen Inspector window, you can have 50 cells with a 32px cell width, or 90 cells with a 16px cell width. You can change the cell size at any moment from the Inspector using the dropdown menu of any Array2D.
• Last tested with Unity 2019.4.13f1 (LTS).
