SerializeMe
Create ScriptableObjects from Excel, with minimal markup.
Usage
public class GameData : ScriptableObject
{
// Sheet to convert into ScriptableObjects
[ExcelSheet("Enemies")]
[SerializeField]
public List<EnemyData> m_enemies;
}
public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject
{
// Fill with data from column with "HP" as header
[ExcelColumn]
[SerializeField]
public int hp;
// Can specify explicit column name to look for
[ExcelColumn("Name")]
[SerializeField]
public string shortName;
}Caveats
Currently uses a Windows-only DLL. Could be easily changed to read data from CSV as well as Excel
You should treat this as a proof-of-concept rather than a finished product. Take what it starts and go nuts with it.
Still to Do
- CSV support
- Multiple columns
- An easy way of performing data conversions: e.g. convert string columns to boolean, merging three float columns to one Vector3
