System.Object in PreferedTypes

[pjohalloranParticipant]

Is there any reason why System.Object cannot be selected in the PreferedTypes editor? Did you think its not needed or that maybe its a bad idea to include it there?

(I need to pass a List<System.Object> to a node to avoid too much of a code change elsewhere in my project)

Was able to add it myself with a hacky change to the PreferedTypesEditoWindow

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

// MY CHANGE - Adding System.Object to list of preferred types. var tObject = typeof(object); var friendlyNameObj = (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tObject.Namespace)? "No Namespace/" : tObject.Namespace.Replace(".", "/") + "/") + tObject.FriendlyName(); var categoryObj = "Classes/"; if (tObject.IsInterface) categoryObj = "Interfaces/"; if (tObject.IsEnum) categoryObj = "Enumerations/"; menu.AddItem(new GUIContent( categoryObj + friendlyNameObj), false, Selected, tObject); // END MY CHANGE   foreach(var t in EditorUtils.GetAssemblyTypes(typeof(object))){ var friendlyName = (string.IsNullOrEmpty(t.Namespace)? "No Namespace/" : t.Namespace.Replace(".", "/") + "/") + t.FriendlyName(); var category = "Classes/"; if (t.IsInterface) category = "Interfaces/"; if (t.IsEnum) category = "Enumerations/"; menu.AddItem(new GUIContent( category + friendlyName), false, Selected, t); }

I wonder would you consider adding this feature (possibility of System.Object into preferred types)?

Actually, never mind, i can just wrap the List<Object> in another type and pass that to a node instead that is in Prefered Types list and no need then for any change!

Hello,

I will add System.Object in the types to choose regardless 🙂
No it’s not a bad idea. It’s fine to use system.object of course 😉

Cheers!
