Remove serialized property

[lamizzo]

How does one go about removing a serialized property in lets say, playermobile class?

Say this is your original script.

        public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
        {
            base.Serialize( writer );
 
            writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
 
            writer.Write( (int) m_blob1 );
 
            writer.Write( (int) m_blob2 );
        }
 
        public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
        {
            base.Deserialize( reader );
 
            int version = reader.ReadInt();
 
            m_Blob1 = reader.ReadInt();
 
            m_Blob2= reader.ReadInt();
        }

Say you want to get rid of Blob1. It is written between version and Blob2.

        public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
        {
            base.Serialize( writer );
 
            writer.Write( (int) 1 ); // version
 
   //         writer.Write( (int) m_blob1 );
 
            writer.Write( (int) m_blob2 );
        }
 
        public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
        {
            base.Deserialize( reader );
 
            int version = reader.ReadInt();
            if ( version < 1 )
                        m_Blob1 = reader.ReadInt();
 
            m_Blob2= reader.ReadInt();
        }
