Serialize Reference, Serialize Field, Serializable and Scene Serialization in Unity | Unity Tutorial

Learn about the newish SerializeReference attribute in Unity, as well as the ins-and-outs of the SerializeField and Serializable attributes and how they relate to scene serialization in Unity. We'll be exploring the Unity YAML scene files as well to get a big picture view of how custom classes get serialized. Finally, we'll take a look at the package SerializeReferenceExtensions to see how we can improve our editor workflow when working with polymorphism and subclasses.

this just saved my game I think. in the past I used structs to save data with enums for types. thanks to this I can create normal classes and now they are serializable which allows me to turn them in to json's easier and save them. Plus I can easily test and setup things in the editor. this extension must be a default important thing in unity

Yes, please make that finite state machine in inspector video!

Great video! Even being at a level where I'd typically say "yeah of course I know how [SerializeField] works..", this step-by-step testing along with checking the scene file really helps shed some light on what's actually happening, and cements it all together. The later tips in the video about [SerializeReference] will come in handy for some projects I have in mind. Thanks!

I love your explanation. Sometimes we forget how things works.

[Sakach]

Please make a finite state machine, I want to learn the advance topic more
keep up the good work! much appreciate

[nicolas]

Great explanation. Subscribed. Keep it up! It would be awesome to see the finite state machine!

[problemO]

Finally I know the serialized Reference use case.

Thank you !

[birahe]

Again, amazing explanation. Would love to see you explain FSMs. It would be really helpful

[mathboy]

... the video I wish had existed when I first started learning Unity.

[machinaexphilip]

wow. finally a great overview with depth and a calm explanation. Thank you!

[hermanusjohannesbesselaar]

Thanks. This really helped me understand serialized fields a lot better. Hope to see a lot more videos from you!

[dustin.]

We need As a beginner, you are the only one who can help a person like me to escape the tutorial HELLLL!!!!

Great video, btw.

[Benndot]

Such a great explanation! I keep coming back to this as I learn Unity and run into these concepts

[Canals]

First video youtube recommended that's actually really good

[xXBloD]

Clear and compact explanation! Looking forward for more future video from you!

[foo]

I'm surprised that a completely random video was able to solve an issue I was having like a week ago haha.

I sacrificed some generics and abstracts due to the very situation you've showed. But perhaps I can reimplement them using some of these attributes.

Awesome video, really clean explanation.

[jsootjk]

Great video!
Please continue to making these beyond the basics videos. Great concept really.

[Crackoder]

Nice tutorial and thanks for the tool, not sure what I'd use it for yet, but I think its great to setup stuff on the inspector that way

[elyastigre]

Thank you
I would LOVE to know more about your state machine, even more if the quality of the video matches this one !!
