Dropdown box in ShowGUI for custom action

radiantboy

I have a custom action and I need a way to make a dropdown box that will simply display a combobox/dropdown with some strings in it, is that possible? And if so any examples around? Maybe this is entirely unity and not at all AC, I havent learned much about this side of unity gui things.

Create an enum with all the options you want:

public enum yourEnumType

{

optionA,

optionB

}

public yourEnumType YourEnumVar;

-Then in ShowGUI use: 

YourEnumVar= (yourEnumType)EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup("my options:",YourEnumVar);

-Them in your run() use:

 switch(YourEnumVar)

 {

 case optionA:

 //do something

 break;

 case optionB:

 //do something

 break;

 } 

 

 OR

 

 if(YourEnumVar==yourEnumType.optionA)

 {

 //do something

 }

 

...google for the proper caps and spelling, but that's the guist of it.
