Allow targetless localize components?

Hi,

I am using the Localize component to localize properties in other components.
The pattern is that we put a localize component on an object, and then a (custom) component that sends a UnityEvent whenever the localize call happens, then we register the target component's property as a listener.

The problem with this is that if this GameObject has a child, it is recognized as a "Prefab" target, which results in bad behavior (child objects are deleted when the term value is edited).

If the object doesn't have children, its target is set to "None" which is actually the behavior we are looking for in this case.
The problem is we can't select this mode ("None") if the prefab target is wrongfully identified.

How can I keep this "None" behavior while still allowing GameObjects with Localize components to have child objects?

Hi,
I see your use case. I will add a new target type for automatic localizing variables/properties in a script. That should solve the issue and allow you to listen to the localization without the hack :-)

In the mean time, if you are not localizing using the Prefab target, you can comment out that target and it will not be used. (Will always be "None")

On the file Assets\I2\Localization\Scripts\Targets\LocalizeUnityStandard.cs

comment out line 22. It should look like:
		public void RegisterEvents_UnityStandard()
		{
			EventFindTarget += FindTarget_GUIText;
			EventFindTarget += FindTarget_TextMesh;
			EventFindTarget += FindTarget_AudioSource;
			EventFindTarget += FindTarget_GUITexture;
			// EventFindTarget += FindTarget_Child;
		}

Hope that helps,
Frank

Thanks, it enables my use case for the time being. Waiting for a new release :)
