InlineButton Attribute

Attribute to add a button next to a property.

Parameters:

• string functionName: The name of the function the button activates

• bool isRepetable: Makes the button repeat logic on hold

• optional, long pressDelay: How many milliseconds to wait before the logic is repeated

• optional, long repetitionInterval: The interval in milliseconds the logic will repeat

• optional, string buttonLabel: The label displayed on the button

• optional, float buttonWidth: The width of the button in pixels

• optional, bool makeDirty: Whether to mark the object as dirty after invoking the function

Example:

using UnityEngine;
using EditorAttributes;

public class AttributesExample : MonoBehaviour
{
        [InlineButton(nameof(PrintString))]
        [SerializeField] private string stringField;

        [InlineButton(nameof(IncreaseValue), "+", 30f), InlineButton(nameof(DecreaseValue), "-", 30f)]
        [SerializeField] private int intField;

        private void IncreaseValue() => intField++;
        private void DecreaseValue() => intField--;

        private void PrintString() => print(stringField);
}

You can make a button to keep executing on hold by marking it as repetable:

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using EditorAttributes;

public class AttributesExample : MonoBehaviour
{
        [InlineButton(nameof(Add10), true, buttonLabel: "+10")]
        [SerializeField] private int intField;

        [InlineButton(nameof(GenerateGUID), true, 100, 500)]
        [SerializeField] private string stringField;

        public void Add10() => intField += 10;
        public void GenerateGUID() => stringField = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
}

Note

The attribute won’t work well inside data tables
