EditorInspectorPlugin

Inherits: Reference < Object

Plugin for adding custom property editors on inspector.

Description

These plugins allow adding custom property editors to EditorInspector.

Plugins are registered via EditorPlugin.add_inspector_plugin.

When an object is edited, the can_handle function is called and must return true if the object type is supported.

If supported, the function parse_begin will be called, allowing to place custom controls at the beginning of the class.

Subsequently, the parse_category and parse_property are called for every category and property. They offer the ability to add custom controls to the inspector too.

Finally, parse_end will be called.

On each of these calls, the “add” functions can be called.

Method Descriptions

  • void add_custom_control ( Control control )

Adds a custom control, which is not necessarily a property editor.


Adds a property editor for an individual property. The editor control must extend EditorProperty.


Adds an editor that allows modifying multiple properties. The editor control must extend EditorProperty.


Returns true if this object can be handled by this plugin.


  • void parse_begin ( Object object ) virtual

Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of the list.


  • void parse_category ( Object object, String category ) virtual

Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of the category.


  • void parse_end ( ) virtual

Called to allow adding property specific editors to the inspector. Usually these inherit EditorProperty. Returning true removes the built-in editor for this property, otherwise allows to insert a custom editor before the built-in one.
