Abstract class reference in Action Task

[tsegordonParticipant]

Hi there,

I derive a few of my game classes from abstract classes, e.g I have a base GameUI class, with CharacterUI and ObjectUI deriving from that. If I try and expose an abstract reference in an Action it just shows as ‘(Abstract)’ and I cannot assign anything to it. Am I missing a trick somewhere?

AbstractClass.cs

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;   public abstract class AbstractClass : MonoBehaviour {   public bool m_test; }

ActionAbstract.cs

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

using UnityEngine; using NodeCanvas;   public class ActionAbstract : ActionTask {   public AbstractClass m_testAbstract; }

Hello,

If the abstract class is deriving from Unity Object, like in your example, then the field will show the normal control for assignments.
The ‘(Abstract)’ label is only shown when the class derives System.Object, since you can’t do any editor assignements with that type.

So, it’s a bit weird the fact that it doesn’t work for you this way. I just checked again and it does work as intended.
What version of NodeCanvas are you using?

Thanks

I think we’re a couple of versions behind, but not too far. I’ll grab the latest on Monday and let you know what I find.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

Grabbed the latest version and everything is working fine, so sorry for not trying that first. Thanks for the help!
