Clone Variable [maybe feature request?]
« on: June 17, 2020, 05:40:35 AM »
Is it possible to clone/copy a variable in the "Variables" tab?

It would be very useful in the cases where I have to create multiple variables from a custom object.
The workflow now is;
  • Create new variable of type "object"
  • Change the object type through a hella long list of all compiled types in your project. (in my case looking for timeline asset object would be UnityEngine->Timeline->timeline asset.

If we could copy these or simply search the list of all types instead of using the dropdown hell that would be nice.

Hi,
The list system = unity (meaning it can't really be changed)

But you can drag/drop components/objects/asset/etc into the variable window and it will make a variable for it and place the object in it.

also if you need many, you might want to use an array instead :)
