Unity 2021 Support

Changed

Bug Fixes and Method Validation

Changed

• Fix issue where entering in playmode with a missing collection reference in the CollectionRegistry would throw a nullref and not reload collections
• Added new condition to consider an item as a "Bad Item" and for it to be cleared. This fixed an edge case where a collection can have a non existing item but it is not being cleared out from the collection
• Added validation method as an CollectionItemEditorOptions option, you can now define a method to validate what CollectionItem can appear, like this:

[SerializeField, CollectionItemEditorOptions(ValidateMethod = nameof(IsValidConsumable))]
private Consumable onlyUnlockedHardCurrency;

public bool IsValidConsumable(Consumable consumable)
{
    if (consumable is HardCurrency hardCurrency)
        return hardCurrency.IsUnlocked;
    return true;
}

New Collection Wizard

Added

• Renamed uses of Wizzard to Wizard
• Wizard foldouts now work
• The collection name is now based on the item name by default. You can still override it.
• The script folder now mirrors the Scriptable Object folder by default
• The namespace is now inferred from the script folder by default, with options for how it should be formatted. Can still manually override.
• Improved wizard readability by tweaking the layout, adding a help text, adding a scrollbar and defining a reasonable minimum size
• Settings that are serialized using Editor Prefs now use the new EditorPreference utility class

Changed

• Renamed uses of Wizzard to Wizard
• Wizard now focuses on Item Name by default so you can type immediately
• Reformatted wizard to look more like a Unity built-in feature
• Parent folders are no longer created by default in preference to mirroring the ScriptableObject hierarchy

Deprecated

• ScriptableObjectCollectionUtils is no longer responsible for appending any parent directories. If you were using any of those methods, please use the recommended method instead.
• ScriptableObjectCollectionSettings.SetDefaultNamespace has been renamed. Please use SetNamespacePrefix instead.

Thanks for this awesome collaboration RoyTheunissen
