Obsolete ObjectSelector has been deprecated. Use ObjectSelectorSearch instead.
Upgrade to ObjectSelectorSearch

Description

Use this API to select objects. Engines for this type of search implement the IObjectSelectorEngine interface.

When a custom ObjectSelector engine is active, the object selector calls registered ObjectSelector engines. When the default ObjectSelector engine is active, the window uses the default object selector, and the internal searches use the active Scene and Project search engines.

The following example creates an ObjectSelector engine:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.SearchService;
using UnityEngine;
using Object = UnityEngine.Object;
using ObjectSelector = UnityEditor.SearchService.ObjectSelector;

[ObjectSelectorEngine] class TestObjectSelectorSearchEngine : IObjectSelectorEngine { public string name => "My Custom Engine";

public void BeginSession(ISearchContext context) { }

public void EndSession(ISearchContext context) { }

public void BeginSearch(ISearchContext context, string query) { }

public void EndSearch(ISearchContext context) { }

public bool SelectObject(ISearchContext context, Action<Object, bool> onObjectSelectorClosed, Action<Object> onObjectSelectedUpdated) { ObjectSelectorWindow.Show((ObjectSelectorSearchContext)context, onObjectSelectedUpdated, onObjectSelectorClosed); return true; }

public void SetSearchFilter(ISearchContext context, string searchFilter) { ObjectSelectorWindow.instance.searchText = searchFilter; } }

The following example creates an object selector window that displays returned items as a list of names and paths:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.SearchService;
using UnityEditor.UIElements;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;
using Object = UnityEngine.Object;
using ObjectSelector = UnityEditor.SearchService.ObjectSelector;
