重构/重命名 Unity 检查器变量名称？

Question

Refactoring or renaming member variables is commonplace in software development, but this can be difficult while working in Unity. If a variable is visible to the inspector the old variable is destroyed, along with whatever value set, and a new variable is created. Is there a way to tell Unity that this new variable is the same as the old one preserving the values set in the inspector for all instances of the component?

Answer 1

Yes, there's a way -- use the FormerlySerializedAs attribute :

[FormerlySerializedAs("theOldName")]
[SerializeField] float theNewName = 0f;

(An alternative, brute force approach is to do a text search & replace in the scene file to rename something, by the way.)
