MenuButton ActionList parameters restricted to Integer type

Snebjorn

I want to send a string parameter to an action list that is called from a menu button, but it appears that the menu editor only handles integer parameters.

Compare this (using an integer param):

With this (using a string):

A quick look at MenuButton.cs (lines 307-311) seems to confirm this:

parameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("", actionList.parameters, parameterID, ParameterType.Integer);

if (parameterID >= 0)

{

parameterValue = EditorGUILayout.IntField (parameterValue);

}

Hope that made sense - only on my second cup of coffee this morning! :-)

Also, the Engine.ChangeScene action doesn't appear to accept parameters in the editor.

That's a restriction by design - you can use the ActionList: Check parameter Action in the ActionList you call to determine what to do with it.

I shall look to add parameters to the Engine: Change scene Action, however.

No problem - I think I'll just make some local changes to the AC scripts then, as this would make things a bit more straightforward for my workflow.

BTW, I've already hacked my working copy of the AC code base enough to make it necessary to manually merge in changes from a separate empty project after AC upgrades. If anyone is interested in a quick guide for this, just let me know.
