Serialize GameObject in Unity

Question

I have class like -

[serializable]
public class DemoClass{
    [SerializeField]
    public GameObject gameObject;
}

I want to store data using serializable. Unity doc says GameObject is serializeField. But it gives Exception -

SerializationException: Type UnityEngine.GameObject is not marked as Serializable.

Anyone have idea about it ?

Answer 1

Add the tag [Serializable] before your class name:

[Serializable]
public class DemoClass{
    public GameObject gameObject;
    public AudioClip audio;
}

Edit: ff you still want to serialize GameObject their is some plugins out there that allow to Serialize Unity Objects. See: Runtime Serialization for Unity
