Let’s expand upon the Conversion support we added in the last video. The goal here is to add full support for the conversion of all Enumerable types. This will add an implicit conversion to any enumerable type parameter that is done using a slightly modified converter. Conversion takes advantage of Enum.Parse() which allows parsing by both name and value.
This will allow us to automatically convert to any enumerable type without requiring the user to make their own converter for each enumerable type they want to use.
Single conversions by name are supported such as:
Sphere → PrimitiveType.Sphere
- or -
Average → PhysicMaterialCombine.Average
Conversions by value are supported such as:
0 → PhysicsMaterialCombine.Average
Conversions by lists of names are supported such as:
Read,Write,PathDiscovery → FileIOPermissionAccess.Read | FileIOPermissionAccess.Write | FileIOPermission.PathDiscovery
Conversions by flag values are supported such as:
3 → FileIOPermissionAccess.Read | FileIOPermissionAccess.Write
