Eden Editor: Configuring Attributes: Controls
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Entity attributes in Eden Editor are represented by specific UI controls. By default, the game offers a wide range of pre-define controls. Not all available controls are listed here due to frequent updates. All available controls can be found in configfile >> "Cfg3DEN" >> "Attributes", but be careful, some of those attributes are not ment to be used with custom attributes. Trial and error!

Decorative / Informative Control
These attributes are handled differently and need the data property. In addition to that, they do not return _value.
Class | Description | Example Attribute Config |
---|---|---|
SubCategory |
Shows a single line text. | class SubCategory
{
data = "AttributeSystemSubcategory"; // This is needed for the attribute to work
control = "SubCategory";
displayName = "Activation Distance Settings"; // Visible text. Despite the attribute code saying the property should be title, displayName is correct
};
|
SubCategoryDesc1 |
Shows a headline and a single line description. If the description is too long, it will be cut off. | class SubCategoryDesc1
{
displayName = "SubCategoryDesc1";
data = "AttributeSystemSubcategory";
control = "SubCategoryDesc1";
description = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et.";
};
|
SubCategoryDesc2 |
Shows a headline and a two line description. If the description is too long, it will be cut off. | class SubCategoryDesc2
{

description = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. \
