Method RegisterProperty

RegisterProperty(Object, string)

Mark the property as Driven in the editor. When a property is marked as driven it is considered to be a temporary change, that is the new values applied to the property will be ignored and not saved into the scene. The value will revert back to its original value when UnregisterProperty(Object, string) is called or SelectedLocale is set to null. Calling this method in play mode or a player build will do nothing.

Declaration

public static void RegisterProperty(Object target, string propertyPath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Object	target	The object that the property is part of.
string	propertyPath	The serialized property path. The value that would be used to access using a SerializedProperty

Examples

This shows how to support non-destructive Edit Mode changes using EditorPropertyDriver.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Localization;

// To support Edit mode we need to use ExecuteAlways.
[ExecuteAlways]
[RequireComponent(typeof(TextMesh))]
public class EditModeSupportExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public LocalizedString localizedString;
    TextMesh m_TextMesh;

    void Start()
    {
        localizedString.StringChanged += UpdateTextMesh;
        m_TextMesh = GetComponent<TextMesh>();
    }

    void UpdateTextMesh(string text)
    {
        // This will let us make temporary changes to a serialized property.
        // When the Locale is changed back to None the changes will be reverted
        // back to the original value. This must be called before we make any changes.
        // Calling this in a player build will do nothing.
        EditorPropertyDriver.RegisterProperty(m_TextMesh, "m_Text");

        m_TextMesh.text = text;
    }
}
