Hi,

I am trying to figure out if I can make this work.

In the ORKFrameworkCore there is the attribute named ORKEditorInfoAttribute. If I do something like this:

[ORKEditorHelp("Faction", "Select a faction associated with this extension data.", "")]
[ORKEditorInfo(ORKDataType.Faction)]
public int factionID = 0;

I get a drop down showing me all of the factions. This is a great feature :).

Looking at the class with Visual Studio class viewer I can see that I must define a ORKDataType and since the core framework to add a new datatype myself I am wondering is there a way to do the same in a plugin using custom data like this one:

public class Disposition : BaseData
{
[ORKEditorHelp("Disposition name", "This is the name of the disposition.", "")]
[ORKEditorInfo("Disposition name", "This is the name of the disposition.", "")]
public String name = "Disposition name";

[ORKEditorHelp("Dispostion ID", "Insert and ID value to be used in disposition game logic.", "")]
[ORKEditorLimit(0, false)]
public int dispositionID = 0;

[ORKEditorHelp("Disposition Weigth value", "Set a weigth value for the disposition game logic. This float field is limited from 0 to 10.", "")]
[ORKEditorLimit(0.0f, 10.0f)]
public float weightValue = 0;

public Disposition()
{

}
}

I would create a bunch of arrays to store disposition data(the above is not the complete class with all the data) then I would would need to create another similar class derived from the BaseData(I think) and I would like to do something like this:

[ORKEditorHelp("Disposition", "Select a dispostion associated with this extension data.", "")]
[ORKEditorInfo(ORKDataType.Disposition)]
public int ID = 0;

Of course the dispostion datatype does not exist, am I just trying to convey what I would like to achieve :).

I am asking this to avoid unnecessary code. One thing I could do is to override the ORKEditorInfoAttribute class and figure out how to find the custom data in a different manner than using the ORKDateType but this might be tricky and time consuming.

Anyway if there is some pre-existing mechanism that would be great :).

Thanks to anyone for any hints, tips and help in advance :).

No, that's not possible - the ORKDataType as well as handling the drop down fields for them is part of the closed source, so you don't have access to it.

Ok, there is no work around, nou problem. I'll just just a different manner to pass on a reference. Thanks for the confirmation.
