Unity3D - Array to Enum

Question

Using Unity3Ds built in EditorGUI System I would like to make the work of my gamedesigner easier by creating a custom editor for dialogue systems. I would like to be able to insert Item names into the Editor's EnumPopup. The problem is that my List/Array of Items is generated at runtime so I cant use it as an enum.

Every of my Items also has an assigned ItemID which makes the enum logic a bit easier.

How could I convert Dictionary<int, Item> to an enum which can be then used in ...

EnumPopup(Enum selected, params GUILayoutOption[] options);

An array/list/dictionary are completely different types of objects to enums - there is no conversion between the two. Your current design is incompatible with what you are trying to do. — Abion47

Why don't you use EditorGUILayout.Popup? You can list your dictionary's values as a string and pass them to the popup as options.

Well it surely is a solution to go around the enum part. Thank you!
