Disable During Node Playback Attribute

The DisableDuringNodePlayback attribute disabled a serialized field in the inspector while it's node is running. The attribute is intended to be used on properties that would break nodes if changed while the node is running.

Overview

The DisableDuringNodePlayback attribute provides the following functionality:

• Disables the given field in the inspector while the node it belongs to is running.

DOES NOT PREVENT VALUE CHANGES FROM CODE

This attribute does NOT prevent value changes from code. It only prevents the field from being edited in the inspector while the node is running.

How to Use

• Step 1: Import the Jungle.Extensions namespace at the top of your script.
• Step 2: Add the attribute to any fields you'd like to have disabled during node playback.

Example

Here's an example of a boolean field named scaledTime that disables during node playback. The scaledTime property is used to set whether scaled time should be used for the timer.

If the scaledTime property is changed during node playback, it could lead to unexpected and strange behavior. The attribute disables the toggle while the node is running so that you can't accidentally break things.

using Jungle;
using Jungle.Extensions;
using UnityEngine;

public class WaitForSecondsNode : IdentityNode
{
    ...

    [SerializeField]
    [DisabledDuringNodePlayback]
    private bool scaledTime;

    ...
}
