Export enum dependent on a variable's value

[BalaDeSilver]

I apologize if I sounded rude, my attention issues aren’t a fault of my own. I also kinda want to learn advanced exports, because this isn’t a think I run into that rarely. Next time it happens, I want to be ready. Even if it never happens, just the learning is worth it.

I found this upon many web searches:

Any idea on how to export_enum an array of resources?

You can use Object._validate_property() to modify programmatically how the property will behave in the inspector. For example (assuming your ItemDB resource exports an array of strings): @tool class_name Inventory extends Resource @export var items:Array func _validate_property(property: Dictionary) -> void: if property.name == "items": # Load the item db var item_db = preload("res://item_db.tres") # Join the items array by comma var items = ",".join(item_db.items) # Create the …

It seems promising, but I can’t for the life of me make the export work. I tried the following:

func _validate_property(property: Dictionary) -> void:
	if property.name == "stat":
		# Load the item db
		#var item_db = preload("res://item_db.tres")
		# Join the items array by comma
		var items = ",".join(Stats.get_category_buffable_list(category))
		# Create the hint string <type>/<hint>:<hint_string>
		property.hint_string = "%d/%d:%s" % [TYPE_STRING, PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, items]
		#notify_property_list_changed()

And the get_category_buffable_list():

static func get_category_buffable_list(category: BuffableCategories) -> Array:
	match category:
		BuffableCategories.HEALTH:
			return HealthComponent.BUFFABLE_STATS.keys()
		BuffableCategories.STAMINA:
			return StaminaComponent.BUFFABLE_STATS.keys()
		BuffableCategories.ATTACK:
			return AttackComponent.BUFFABLE_STATS.keys()
		BuffableCategories.DEFENSE:
			return DefenseComponent.BUFFABLE_STATS.keys()
		BuffableCategories.SPEED:
			return SpeedComponent.BUFFABLE_STATS.keys()
	return []

It doesn’t seem to me that I’ll need a much more complex solution, but maybe that’s why I can’t find a solution…
