EditorGUILayout, Multi-object editing not supported

Question

Hi,

I have an editorscript, but in the inspector it says Multi-object editing not supported. I have no idea why I get this, because my other editorscript works fine.

here's the relevant code from my normal script:

 public enum WeatherState
     {
         Sunny,
         Rainy,
         Snowy        
     }
     
     [SerializeField]
     private WeatherState m_eState;
     
     public WeatherState State { get{return m_eState;} set{m_eState = value;}}

And here's the code from my editor script:

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEditor;
 using System.Collections;
 
 [CustomEditor(typeof(Weather))]
 public class Weather_Editor : Editor {
 
 
     public override void OnInspectorGUI()
     {
         var t = target as Weather;
         t.State = (Weather.WeatherState)EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup("Weather State", t.State);
 
         if(GUI.changed)
         {
             EditorUtility.SetDirty(t);    
         }        
     }
 }

Would you be able to explain your solution more clearly? I am having the same problem. Thanks

@Reyan:
Just make sure you only select one object at a time. If you select multiple objects (by holding shift, using a rectangle selection, ...) you can't edit them together if they are of a different type.

Also the way this custom editor is designed it can only edit one object at a time. $$anonymous$$ulti editing has been added in Unity3.5 i think. To be able to use multi editing you have to use the SerializedObject and SerializedProperties in your editor.

Here is some general information on multi editing. See this page for how to implement multi editing in your custom inspectors

Thanks for your comment Bunn83; as it turns out my problem in this case was that I didn't realize it was mandatory that you put the editors in a folder titled "Editor" ($$anonymous$$e was titled "Editors").

If anyone else happens to come across this problem, I can't list it as an answer as this seems to be closed, but this can occur if your editor script (in the given example Weather_Editor) isn't in Assets/Editor.

This will also occur if you don't name the class and the filename the same thing (Weather_Class and Weather_Class.cs - else you'll see "Instance of Weather_EditorWithTypo couldn't be created because there is no script with that name." in the console).
