Read-Only Collections

Read-Only Assets

For example, if you would normally reference a ScriptableListGameObject, it would look like this:

[SerializeField] private ScriptableListGameObject _scriptableListGameObject;

To use the Read-Only version, simply declare a ScriptableListGameObject instead:

[SerializeField] private ScriptableListGameObjectReadOnly _scriptableListGameObject;

This will prevent the user to add or remove elements of the collection in code. A lock icon is displayed to make it visually clear that this collection is Read-Only.

// The following line cause a compile-time error, as expected:
_scriptableListGameObject.Add(new GameObject());

You can still register to its OnItemAdded , OnItemRemoved, Modified events as usual:

_scriptableListGameObject.OnItemAdded += OnItemAdded;

The same logic and syntax applies for Scriptable Dictionaries.
