i guess unity dropped support for the 6 image cubemap?

#

they used to support that

#

https://i.imgur.com/FfX1gPA.png

Imgur

#

2018.2 still has it

#

no idea if they will work in HDRP tho

#

haven't tested that

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

they changed the cubemap in the hdrp as i remember it got "exposure" and now when you create a new cubemap its just looks like this and not usable

📎 cubemapp.png

#

so if i put the textures in this, nothing happening

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

yeah gonna test using legacy if 2018.3 ever loads

#

https://i.imgur.com/AnL1r8W.png

Imgur

#

it's still there in 2018.3 as well

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

but imported cubemaps are works, i just can't create news to attach the textures

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

you have to pick legacy cubemap

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

yes

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

like i showed in the pic

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

thats what i'm doing but if i attach 6 texture wil lnothing happening

#

just for clear, element 0 is +X?

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

i forget

#

but i don't know a place to test a cubemap in HDRP anyway lol

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

i think i not attached them as needed but as you can see the cubemap is stil lempty

📎 cubemap111.png

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

well that's just the preview

#

lots of previews are broken in HDRP

#

so i'm not convinced it's not working

#

need to try it in something

#

but i have no idea of anything in HDRP that uses cubemaps

#

i thought maybe coat mask would

#

but i don't see a cubemap slot

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

i wil ltry to make cubemap fro mscript maybe that wil lwork

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

making something in Shadergraph to test with

#

yeah i can confirm legacy doesn't work for HDRP

#

too much to wish i guess

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 7:58 PM

#

anyway how can i make with photoshop? is there a template or something?

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Cubemap.html

#

you just need to combine them into one of the formats shown there

#

probably the single vertical or single horizontal column is easiest

#

you can then drop the image in unity and set Shape to Cubemap and tada

slow zodiac Mar 30, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

alright, so these textures are 4096x4096, i need to make a 24576 empty in photoshop than adding them one by one?

forest vortex Mar 30, 2019, 8:03 PM

basically

zealous ice Mar 30, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

Are you able to draw ScriptableObject's inspector in property drawer?

visual stag Mar 30, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

Yes, you can get the entire editor with Editor.CreateCachedEditor/CreateEditor

#

You need to dispose it/them when totally done

#

Or else you get leaks

#

I'm unsure at how to best draw the inspector as you don't have access to Layout

#

which would be the main problem, but I think I've done it before, I just don't have any code on hand...

Hey guys I know that when doing a [MenuItem] I can set the priority but for some reason it’s not changing the parent folder’s priority.
Ie: [MenuItem(“GameObject/MyFolder/MyTool”), false, 1]
Doesn’t change where it shows up in the GameObject Menu. Anyone know a way to change where the “MyFolder” part shows up in the menu?

visual stag Mar 31, 2019, 8:44 PM

They're in the hundreds, you kinda have to either fluke it or find some old forum posts where some things are detailed

What do u call those codes like : [Space] or [HideInInspector] ?

craggy kite Apr 1, 2019, 6:56 PM

Attributes

supple willow Apr 1, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

Oh thanks

#

@craggy kite and can we use them to group our variables?

#

I mean like parrent and children

#

#

Grouping them

#

U got what i mean? Or i'll send u an image of what i mean?

craggy kite Apr 1, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

There's a [Header("Group Name")] for that purpose

supple willow Apr 1, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

(Sorry for m bad en)

#

@craggy kite not like that

#

📎 Untitled_1.png

#

Its what i mean

#

To be able to simply hide'em / show'em by clickin the header

craggy kite Apr 1, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

Ah so that's more having a serializable struct or class in the component being edited. I don't know of any property drawers that do that for arbitrary fields built into Unity

supple willow Apr 1, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Thanks , anyway💓😋

@supple willow i might have a solution for you

cloud wedge Apr 1, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

is there a way to make "Build and Run" execute twice? That way I could create a NSFW version of my game, and a SFW version of my game? The thing that decides which is which is the setting of a bool on a prefab

@visual stag InspectorFoldoutGroup is too restrictive. It uses a custom Editor on Object.
For many people, it won't work.

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 6:54 AM

#

It's an implementation that you need if you want to do stuff like that. If you've seen other implementations feel free to post them

#

Drawers and stuff should still work as it's using PropertyField, so unless you're overriding Object yourself it shouldn't be an issue

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 6:55 AM

#

I implemented one using only attribute

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 6:55 AM

#

if you're making your own editors you can implement the foldouts yourself

#

I think I did too actually, but you had to put a HideInInspector tag on every other variable that was in your group

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 6:56 AM

#

Well, mine doesn't need to hide others, they are just automatically handled

#

I will drop you the code if you want

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

Sure

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

Mine is not perfect, but fits 80% of people cases

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 7:00 AM

#

wait, can you iterate the SerializedProperty that is passed into a PropertyDrawer

#

and it will keep that state when it exits

#

if so, then that's how you would do it

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 7:01 AM

#

📎 GroupDrawer.cs

#

https://assetstorev1-prd-cdn.unity3d.com/package-screenshot/fa080739-3a67-429c-ac3d-84b36a96ff39_scaled.jpg

#

The only problem is fields already having a CustomPropertyDrawer. For that I need to use an other attribute (InGroup)

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

Oh you do have to put an attribute on every variable

#

yeah, that's what I'd be trying to avoid

#

I think it's probably neater to use HideInInspector in that case

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 7:04 AM

#

Having one attribute gathering everybody and use HideInInspector for all the others?

#

It's basically the same as putting an attribute on everybody, no?

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 7:05 AM

#

I'd probably have [Group("Group Name")] on the first one and just [Group] on the following

#

I wish there was a way to return an iterated SerializedProperty so you could get it to skip over stuff

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

you can, no?

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

If you could then why would you not have [Group("Group Name")] and then nothing until [EndGroup]?

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

I did this implementation because it was the most natural to my eyes

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

and it would automatically iterate and draw until [EndGroup], then the editor would take over again

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

Doing just Group() is easy to implement.

#

But EndGroup is not possible and I see what you were saying

#

Yeah, we can't skip a field by design

visual stag Apr 2, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

yeah they must pass a copy in to stop us doing it 😛
Edit: yup, a property.Copy()before they pass it

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

We are oblige to set an attribute to have control over it

#

You know what, I like the idea of not repeating an attribute

#

I will implement Group()

Does anyone know why when i select multiple gameobjects and change a particular value it'll result in all the other values in all the selected gameobjects changing unexpectedly? The particular value i change is saved in all gameobjects but all the other values in the selected gameobjects looks like they've almost been "resetted" or have changed.

Morning! An asset I'm writing generates code using reflection to extend public properties & fields of both Unity & user classes. This works great right up until something like UnityEngine.Light where it finds properties such as 'shadowRadius' which are editor-only (and assert only at build time when they're stripped out). I'm really struggling to find any approach that can catch this. Is there a way to search the build assemblies? Or a reflection trick for finding define symbols? Or perhaps an approach I haven't thought of? Thanks in advance!

split bridge Apr 2, 2019, 1:00 PM

#

^So... not exactly ideal but it works so far - all files matching UnityEngine*.dll within ../Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines, using Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom to see if the type and property exist or not

onyx harness Apr 2, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

GetProperty() != null does not work?

split bridge Apr 2, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

Unfortunately not because edit-only properties like Light.areaSize are in the editor's UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll but not in the same dll you'll find in a build

Does anyone have experience with Timeline?

#

I have a subclass of UnityEngine.Timeline.TrackAsset that has a UnityEngine.Timeline.TrackClipType that I've created that (obviously) inherits from UnityEngine.Playables.PlayableAsset.

#

When I right-click the track, the context menu gives me an option to create the PlayableAsset. This is fine. What is not fine is the fact that there are other options to create the PlayableAsset for all of the UnityEngine.Object members of my class.

#

I want to remove the other options an only keep the one related to THE PlayableAsset.

#

I should probably add that this behaviour is new to Unity 2018.2. In earlier versions, only the expected option would be available.

visual stag Apr 4, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

So your Clip is PlayableAsset, ITimelineClipAsset? @young falcon

#

[TrackClipType(typeof(XClip))]
public class XTrack : TrackAsset{}

[Serializable]
public class XClip : PlayableAsset, ITimelineClipAsset {
    [HideInInspector]
    public XBehaviour template = new XBehaviour ();
    public override Playable CreatePlayable (PlayableGraph graph, GameObject owner)
    {
        var playable = ScriptPlayable<XBehaviour>.Create (graph, template);
        XBehaviour clone = playable.GetBehaviour ();
        ...
        return playable;
    }
}

[Serializable]
public class XBehaviour : PlayableBehaviour {}``` is my usual setup

#

or, depending on my needs:

[TrackClipType(typeof(XClip))]
public class XTrack : TrackAsset{}

[System.Serializable]
public class XClip : PlayableAsset, ITimelineClipAsset {
    public override Playable CreatePlayable (PlayableGraph graph, GameObject owner) => Playable.Null;
}```

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm having a bit of a weird issue at the moment, I've got an editor script set up, that toggles debugging features - when it comes to compiling/building for Android (for example, haven't tried other platforms), I get a nice NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object EditWindow.DebugMode () (at Assets/Unity Accessibility Extensions/Scripts/Editor/EditorWindow.cs:130) error, despite it being an editor script.. that in theory, shouldn't be included in the build for Android?

#

for reference, here's a little breakdown of what I'm doing - ```cs

GameObject confObj;

private void OnGUI()
{
confObj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("GlobalConf");
}

private void DebugMode()
{
ConfDbg = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Enable Debug Mode", ConfDbg);
if (confObj.activeInHierarchy)
{
if (ConfDbg == true)
{
confObj.GetComponent<GlobalConf>().SetDbugTrue();
}
else
{
confObj.GetComponent<GlobalConf>().SetDbugFalse();
}
}
} with line 130, beingcs

if (confObj.activeInHierarchy)

visual stag Apr 5, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

It doesn't sound like it's including it, it sounds like it's interrupting your build in OnGUI (or whenever DebugMode is being called)

#

perhaps just check whether confObj is null and return if it is

#

then it can't interrupt anything if it is and hopefully you'll be able to build @crystal laurel

rustic remnant Apr 5, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

@celest gale Devdog has a Discord server, you might want to ask there. It seems you imported the plugin incorrectly.

#

Tbh it looks like you're referencing editor only assemblies in your code and during build time the compiler can not find them.

celest gale Apr 5, 2019, 4:37 PM

It is odd because it is giving errors for EVERY editor folder

any workaround for "Unrecognized assets cannot be included in AssetBundles"? trying to include a file used by a plugin

rustic remnant Apr 5, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

What kind of file are you trying to include?

#

If they're files that Unity normally recognizes then you might want to try to reimport them. Could be they have an invalid or outdated serialization in your Library.

desert arrow Apr 5, 2019, 5:55 PM

looks like it's a zip file with renamed extension

rustic remnant Apr 5, 2019, 5:58 PM

Do you get an error if you try to reimport it?

desert arrow Apr 5, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

renaming it .bytes might have worked, let me test to see if I can load it

#

there's nothing to reimport, it's not a unity asset

#

just a file

rustic remnant Apr 5, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

Yes, but even on assets without importers you can use the Reimport option in the right-click menu. It will rebuild the imported version of the asset in the Library.

#

Renaming it with a .bytes extension might work, since those files have a diffrent importer.

@onyx harness oh I can like this

onyx harness Apr 7, 2019, 10:03 PM

Oh, no, AssetDatabase is Editor only

You need to learn the protocol of an FBX or OBJ

whole steppe Apr 7, 2019, 10:03 PM

Yeah need the bin serialize for runtime

onyx harness Apr 7, 2019, 10:03 PM

Good luck, FBX RFC is heavy

#

go for obj

#

But it's not gonna be efficient

whole steppe Apr 7, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

Fbx is overkill though I just need the mesh

#

And it probably won't change. It's not going to be inside the resources file

#

So I'll need to un serialize it myself, and I can't do it efficiently in another thread

hey guys, so I was thinking about doing a similar inspector tool, but instead of a circle it would be a polygonal shape and not necessarily store color information

I looked at the github for post processing and saw something using materials/shaders but it seemed very confuse to me. I appreciate if someone can help me out on this

#

Which part are you not sure on @ebon blaze ?

ebon blaze Apr 8, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

on how can I make a trackball in the inspector but using a custom shape, i.e. a square or triangle

#

but maybe this is too advanced for me idk, from what I could understand they have a shader (trackball.shader) that creates the trackball in the inspector

#

and since I lack knowledge on shaders and editor scripting it's complicated for me

#

I think I will just put this aside and come back when I learn more about it

desert grotto Apr 8, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

So I have a palette swap material/shader that has a _PaletteTex property. I'd like to extend unity's default Image component and give it a new property that changes _PaletteTex in a similar way that the sprite field changes _MainTex

#

Ideally, I'd have just the 1 material, and each of the images would have its own overriden palette texture in the same way that normal images have their own sprite...

desert grotto Apr 8, 2019, 11:39 PM

#

^I actually figured this out, but I have a minor issue where duplicating an object that has the palette swapped image component will copy the material reference instead of making a new one with the same properties. Any callbacks that I can use to declone the material?

I'm not shader savvy, but I think you should use the same material but change the texture via c# using a material property block. otherwise you'll have a bunch of extra draw calls.

@ebon blaze idk how unity does it. But I would do it by using GUI.BeginGroup. Then get the left click event, and see if the mouse is inside the group. I would do some maths so that you could convert the top left of the group to be 0, 0, and bottom right to be 1, 1.
Idk if that makes sense. If you have any questions, or my explanation was too muddled. Let me know.

Hi, guys ) I have a question. Looks like it for this channel. I would like to found missing references (not scripts!!!) in gameobjects and prefabs and I found some old script where checks all SerializeProperties and check .objectReferenceValue == null and .objectReferenceInstanceIDValue == 0. But it not working anymore, because for None properties and for Missing properties this 2 values the same (null and 0). So, maybe someone know how to separate None properties and Missing?

would GameObjectUtility.GetMonoBehavioursWithMissingScriptCount and GameObjectUtility.RemoveMonoBehavioursWithMissingScript do?

Is there a way to implement an editor script that is not unloaded when changing between play and edit modes? I'd like to setup a TCP connection between multiple instances of the Editor to be able to remotely trigger a recompile and play. But when I do this, the editor scripts are reloaded, the tcp connection is closed and destroyed.

Something crazy. I have one camera in the scene. In the Scene mode, the camera shows what I want. In the preview camera, I get what I want. BUT in the Game view, the camera shows something else. There is no animation, just one model , one light and one camera. Any idea why is this happening?

I'm not really sure @lucid hedge , but you could always call ShaderUtil.GetAllShaderInfo for an array of all the shader names and maybe use PopUpWindow to draw the list of shaders

But I guess that wouldn't include the shader "folders" without extra work

is it possible to create Custom Inspectors for specific File Types?

#

Long Story: i really like the Scriptable Object Inspector for data changing. first i thought about use the ScriptableObjects for GameData (Weapons, Items etc.) - which works pretty good.
then i thought about saving and loading "runtime Data" (like Character stats, Inventory), but ScriptableObjects can't be saved at runtime. :S
Soooo now i work with a JSON & SO Solution -> Save and Load from JSON and convert the Data into my SO.

#

The Scriptable Object Inspector / Asset Inspector

📎 unknown.png

#

The JSON Inspector

📎 unknown.png

#

Short Story: i would like to create a inspector/editor for JSON File, which looks and feels like the SO Inspector above.
Problem: custom inspector seems to only creatable Skripts and no Filetypes.

visual stag Apr 11, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

you can create custom importers for file types, and hook into the asset processing. You can also make an Editor for DefaultAsset and selectively use it for your file extension. I'm not sure if .json imports as TextAsset but if it does that would be the type to make an inspector for

summer dagger Apr 11, 2019, 11:20 AM

#

you talk about scripted Importers https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptedImporters.html ?

visual stag Apr 11, 2019, 11:22 AM

#

Sure - but I'm not sure if you can be selective about which ones you import in that way or whether you could edit the resulting asset

#

the problem is that an imported asset is essentially fixed - only ScriptableObjects and the importer's meta file gets modified

#

Like, would you want your inspector to edit the json file?

summer dagger Apr 11, 2019, 11:24 AM

#

yeah

#

in best case i just would use SO, but they are not designed for "user created data" ^^

visual stag Apr 11, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

I would made an inspector for DefaultAsset or TextAsset (depending on what it imports as)

summer dagger Apr 11, 2019, 12:04 PM

i tried some tuts arround ScriptedImporter

#

📎 unknown.png

do you have any good tutorials for custom inspector for DefaultAssets/TextAssets.
couldnt find a good solution.

ScriptedImporter is in a Experimental Stage.

(tried [CustomEditor(typeof(DefaultAsset))], but no result)

visual stag Apr 11, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

I did warn you than an imported asset is fixed! But that would enable you to make an editor there that could both create a scriptable object and edit the original file. (The SO would be readonly like an imported model)
I'm fairly certain that .json files import as TextAsset

#

so you'd need to create a custom editor of that type

Tryna improve a plugin posted on /r/Unity3D called floorplan, which is a sim-esque modular building system , for myself.

One of the improvements I'm adding is instead of a single wall, floor, pillar and arch tile, they are split up into categories so you can have "any" amount of walls, pillars etc.

I want to choose between each category by choosing a tile from 3 drop down menus for each respective category but I also don't want to be able to place two tiles at once so my solution is that when you choose an item from the list, any other choice gets set back to none.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

eg: if I were to choose a floor tile, it would set wall tile and pillar tile to NONE and vice versa for the different categories

#

In OnInspectorGui, I check to see if the int returned by EditorGuiLayout.Popup is higher than 0 (since the 0 index is NONE) in any of the categories and do stuff dependent on that. Issue is, if one category is selected, it creates an infinite loop setting the other categories to NONE

#

Here's my current code. How can I stop this infinite loop?

        if (floorTileIndex > 0)
        {
            wallTileIndex = 0;
            pillarTileIndex = 0;
            script.curWallTile = null;
            script.curPillarTile = null;

            script.curFloorTile = floorTiles[floorTileIndex - 1];

        }
        else if (wallTileIndex > 0)
        {
            //Reset other tile values to 0 (since we don't want to place two at the same time.
            floorTileIndex = 0;
            pillarTileIndex = 0;
            script.curFloorTile = null;
            script.curPillarTile = null;

            script.curWallTile = wallTiles[wallTileIndex - 1];
        }
        else if (pillarTileIndex > 0)
        {
            floorTileIndex = 0;
            wallTileIndex = 0;
            script.curWallTile = null;
            script.curFloorTile = null;

            script.curPillarTile = pillarTiles[pillarTileIndex - 1];

        }

visual stag Apr 18, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

do something similar to:

using (var cCS = new EditorGUI.ChangeCheckScope())
{
    EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(enumProperty); //Your enum field
    if(cCS.changed){
        if(enumProperty.enumValueIndex != (int)EnumValue.NONE){
            //Reset other properties
        }
        serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
    }
}```

#

where you only reset the properties if the field is modified

@lone quarry unity serialization doesn't support inheritance. You have to use a ScriptableObject or a Monobehaviour if you need it.

wild mica Apr 22, 2019, 10:40 AM

#

Hey guys. I'm trying to create an ID system just like in a database for my ScriptableObjects.
Do I have any sort of hook on Creating a ScriptableObject (not instantiating, creating) and Deleting them (Deleting the actual file, from the editor). To make it clear, the Awake/enable/disable aren't the answer here.

split bridge Apr 22, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

@wild mica I do it through an OnEnable call in the SO to a static method that serializes a list of ids (from AssetDatabase.TryGetGUIDAndLocalFileIdentifier), sorted by ID and then I use that index. AFAIK there isn't some kind of file delete handle that would help but you but it's quick to rebuild the list every recompile for example

wild mica Apr 22, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

So building this list of Ids would only work in the editor? And if you need the ID at runtime, you'd have to set it from the editor on a separate SO field? (not that that's a problem, might be an ok solution, just making sure I got this right)

split bridge Apr 22, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

so my solution works at runtime by essentially serializing an array of SO's with a guaranteed order determined by their file id's - so a scriptable object that itself serializes references to other scriptable objects. Each SO OnEnable calls a static method that automatically ensures that main indexing SO has a reference to itself.... does that make any sense at all? haha

wild mica Apr 22, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

It does, but I thought the AssetDatabase class is only accessible at edit time? (I actually worked with it just once, might be wrong) hence my confusion about functionality at runtime.

split bridge Apr 22, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

no you're right, that part is... sorry this might be a bit tricky to explain

wild mica Apr 22, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

You generate and save the IDs at edit time, then use them at runtime? That's what I figured.

split bridge Apr 22, 2019, 1:49 PM

yes

wild mica Apr 22, 2019, 1:50 PM

I see. Ok, it's interesting. I might give it a shot. Not what I was hoping for, but I don't think what I hoped for is possible 😄

split bridge Apr 22, 2019, 1:53 PM

#

All I can say is that you're not the first person to want this - this solution took me about a week to arrive at but imo works well. But then it is in the context of a full SO-based library (ala Ryan Hipple) so it already has concepts like an Array SO. I would say that by doing it this way or similar, you keep it within Unity's ecosystem. It's also v quick (you don't need to wait seconds for all objects to be registered etc).

wild mica Apr 22, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

Yes, it's a very frustrating and confusing land between the enorced order of a database and the flexibility of using SOs, and it seems to be hard to get the best of both worlds.
I want my items to have ID, so that I can edit them over time and they are properly linked to other things, and I don't want the option to somehow mess up those IDs by setting them by hand - so DB is the way to go. But I also want to actually SEE how the item looks instead of seeing the path to an image in the DB, and edit it quickly and safely directly from the editor - pointing to SOs as the desired solution.
And I'm trying to somehow get the best of both worlds here, but there isn't much support for that.

split bridge Apr 22, 2019, 2:02 PM

yea - feel your pain. Though I have to say we only found this db/asset indexing necessary once deciding to support multiplayer. It could be depending on your situation there may be an easier route?

                Handles.color = new Color(147 / 256, 188 / 256, 1, 0.2f);
                Handles.DrawSolidArc(
                    observer.transform.position,
                    -observer.transform.forward,
                    Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angle * 0.5f) * observer.transform.up,

Each time with correct target?

Yup

That's wierd behaviour then

Yeah, that's why you'd use the target

Hi! I'd like (on gui button press) to open a scriptable object in a new inspector window... struggling to find the exact syntax - any pointers in the right direction?

Use the selection class

visual stag Apr 23, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

@split bridge https://hastebin.com/uhonomecug.cs has some code I've written in the past for doing stuff with the InspectorWindow or duplicates

#

you want to do something similar to LockAndDuplicate, but as Navi says, use the selection class to set the inspectors to your ScriptableObjects.

split bridge Apr 23, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Thanks both. I saw AssetDatabase.OpenAsset would do it if there was a way to open in a new inspector window but it seems the trick is to do a ScriptableObject.CreateInstance with the type of a standard window... then there's something in the selection class to select an asset with the corresponding new editor window?

visual stag Apr 23, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

inspectors will display what you have selected if they are not locked, that's it 😛

ugh yea... good point! hmmm guess I may have to create a custom editor window then if I don't want my current inspector to change without locking it

ContextMenu is an old feature i believe it even existed in back Unity 4

grim monolith Apr 24, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

I know it's an old feature. I meant for custom editors. I'm asking how to add that functionality on a custom editor not on the scriptable object itself.

onyx harness Apr 24, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

@grim monolith Well

#

I might have an answer

#

About the context-menu itself, I don't know any solution.
Because it is calling
EditorUtility.INTERNAL_CALL_Internal_DisplayObjectContextMenu
Which we don't have the code.

#

But, you technically can add an button near it

#

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Reflection;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[InitializeOnLoad]
public class TestHook
{

    static TestHook()
    {
        FieldInfo    s_EditorHeaderItemsMethods = typeof(EditorGUIUtility).GetField("s_EditorHeaderItemsMethods", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        IList        list = (IList)s_EditorHeaderItemsMethods.GetValue(null);
        Type        delegateType = typeof(Editor).Assembly.GetType("UnityEditor.EditorGUIUtility+HeaderItemDelegate");

        if (list == null)
            list = (IList)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(List<>).MakeGenericType(delegateType));

        MethodInfo myMethod = typeof(TestHook).GetMethod("HeaderItemDelegate");
        list.Add(Delegate.CreateDelegate(delegateType, myMethod));

        s_EditorHeaderItemsMethods.SetValue(null, list);
    }

    public static bool HeaderItemDelegate(Rect rectangle, UnityEngine.Object[] targets)
    {
        EditorGUI.DrawRect(rectangle, Color.blue);
        return false;
    }
}

#

Just as a warning, this code set the list at startup.
It means, it overrides the real stuff.
You need to populate it first then add your stuff.
For that you need to call the code at EditorGUIUtility.DrawEditorHeaderItems.

mat0="16A53A"

visual stag Apr 24, 2019, 11:51 AM

#

You want to pass it something in the format #16A53A then

#

The documentation pretty well describes what you need to pass to it

torpid sable Apr 24, 2019, 11:58 AM

#

If i debug it, the htmlString is correct but the color is wrong, TryParseHtmlString(string htmlString, out Color color);

#

but now with the #, mat0="#FFE0BD the color is not just 1,1,1,1 like without # symbol

visual stag Apr 24, 2019, 12:00 PM

#

well,

if(ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString("#16A53A", out var color))
    Debug.Log(color);```
prints `RGBA(0.086, 0.647, 0.227, 1.000)` which is correct

#

#FFE0BD also prints the correct value. So i'm really not sure what's going wrong on your end

torpid sable Apr 24, 2019, 12:14 PM

RGBA(1,000, 0,878, 0,741, 1,000) #FFE0BD by me

It seems you can't do e.g. Selection.activeObject = x; in the OnSelectionChange callback - there's no current event that needs consuming or anything - does anyone know if there's a way to immediately change selection? I can do it via OnInspectorUpdate but immediate would be better.

onyx harness Apr 24, 2019, 7:24 PM

@split bridge that's not its purpose, the problem is more on your side /design.

split bridge Apr 24, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

Thanks @onyx harness - it's true I'm trying to achieve something a bit unconventional - perhaps there's a better way? I have certain ScriptableObject assets that I'd like to have appear in their own editor window (if it's open) but use the default inspector if it's not. This is because I want it to be possible for a user to edit the asset without losing focus with what they're currently working on. Odin achieves something similar to this where if you right-click on the pencil it will pop open a new window with the selected asset rather than steal focus.

onyx harness Apr 24, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

@@split bridge You can use EditorApplication.delay maybe.

split bridge Apr 24, 2019, 9:58 PM

Looks like it's still too glitchy - may abandon the idea but thanks for the hint - didn't know of delayCall's existence

@split bridge what do you mean by glitchy?

#

I did had some issues when I was dealing with it.
Sometime I had to double delay a call. It happens :)

split bridge Apr 25, 2019, 9:56 AM

#

It's somewhat obvious with hindsight but you see the other object selected briefly which causes the panel to go from game object to SO, to blank, back to gameobject - in real terms this feels like a bigger flicker than I hoped. I'd have to do is intercept the click before the SO was selected somehow - even if possible is definitely a step too far 😃

onyx harness Apr 25, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

If I understand correctly, you want to click on a button and it opens an Inspector with the Object locked on?

split bridge Apr 25, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

yes 👍

onyx harness Apr 25, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

And to achieve that, you change Selection?

split bridge Apr 25, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

So, let's say clicking an 'open' button, opens the relevant custom editor window and sets the asset to display... my hope was that once that window was open, if you selected another asset in the project, only that window would be updated

#

seems like that's a bad idea

onyx harness Apr 25, 2019, 10:05 AM

#

Yes

#

You need to create an Inspector and assign it your Object

split bridge Apr 25, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

The opening a new window for the asset works fine 👍

onyx harness Apr 25, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

Have you tried to lock the current Inspector, open new one, change Selection?

split bridge Apr 25, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

I like the idea but it wouldn't quite work. Essentially my ideal workflow would look like an inspector window and a MyScriptableObject inspector - if you select a texture, gameobject etc, the inspector panel would update as usual, if you selected a scriptable object that was of type MyScriptableObject, instead of the inspector window updating, having the MyScriptableObject inspector window update. I can see why this is problematic, it would just be the nicer way to work.

onyx harness Apr 25, 2019, 10:13 AM

I understand, but it is hardly doable

So, I've been using Event.current to handle sceneview/editor mouse input for my custom editor.
Normally you can do Event.current.button or Event.current.keycode to tell which mouse button is being held/pressed/released - but what if I want to know if 2 keys or mouse buttons are being held simultaneously? Do I need to track this info and save it for myself on a "press/click" event?

@onyx harness Like System.Windows.Input? Eh, I think I'd like to stay more platform independent., if that makes sense? (C# not my key lang outside of Unity programming, tho, so maybe I'm missing something?) Thanks for mulling it over more, though!

I've just been keeping an Event variable for each key I'm interested in, and then just updating one whenever Event.Current gets me a new press/release event for that specific key. It's working pretty well!

#

EditorGUILayout.Foldout?

#

Oh so you want to draw the whole list? Why not just use a PropertyField?

#

Why would that be? Also, there is no simple way other than serialized property to draw the list. It's just a combination of fields and foldouts drawn automatically by the PropertyField

#

There's nothing in here that says you cannot use serialized properties

#

Just cache serializedObject.FindProperty("Characters"), and use a PropertyField and it should work fine

#

You'd want to add a [Range(10, 100)] above the max health field

#

you will need to also use serializedObject.UpdateIfRequiredOrScript(); and serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties(); if you're not familiar

#

Remember to pass true to the PropertyField's includeChildren parameter

#

well then you just need to do the first part and then EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(charactersSP.GetArrayElementAtIndex(i), true);

#

though you really shouldn't be combining serialized properties and normal fields in this way

#

it isn't often advised to use anything other than serialized properties if you can

#

If you're already in too deep just draw them using Foldout, IntField for the size, and whatever else for the sub properties

#

It's either draw using Properties or draw everything manually

#

The thing you will have to perhaps worry about are conflicts with updating some fields via SPs and others via fields - but it can be quite easy to work around / not actually be an issue

#

just something to watch out for 👍

#

sweet, also for future reference on discord you can have colour formatting with

#

it may be worth putting a ChangeCheckScope around the property field and only applying if it's changed, though I'm never sure if it's how I should be doing it - I need to check how much that varies in the docs

onyx harness Apr 30, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

You are right, without that the above drawer will induce noticeable lag at some point.

#

I might say the same about Undo.Record, but I'm not sure about the internal implementation. I need to confirm.

visual stag Apr 30, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

Doing it for Undo.Record is kinda a pain in the ass seeing as it's sorta backward, you have to cache the result, then in the check Record and then apply

#

I tend to just always wrap my editors in the entire Record or Apply, but when in cases like these I have a lot of Updates and Applies I do it properly

onyx harness Apr 30, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

Yeah, it's cumbersome to write, but I guess it's a good habit to have

#

People's projects tend to have more and more plugins. And with Package Manager it's gonna be even easier to add more.

The problem of the scripting packages in the Asset Store is that we have no limitations, no rules, no guidelines to follow.

Devs might not notice/understand why their Play button is taking a slightly longer moment to enter.
Same logic for recompilation.
Here, slightly can become seconds and even more.

#

Bax plugins can increase a lot those timings.

visual stag Apr 30, 2019, 3:29 AM

You can use PreviewRenderUtility

#

I'm unsure if that'll do entirely what you need as I haven't used it to draw the scene view

#

but there is a renderFullScene boolean in its constructor

#

that may do what you need

#

You typically use BeginPreview, DrawMesh, and then EndAndDrawPreview

visual stag Apr 30, 2019, 3:50 AM

let me know if it works out btw, I've not used the utility in that way (only to draw mesh previews to rects)

#

Otherwise I'd look into just highjacking the sceneview camera momentarily for renders into a RenderTexture

craggy sedge Apr 30, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

I’ve used it for some simple stuff, the main limitation to be aware of is that it’s still not a ‘real’ scene view so you’ll have to do some work to select objects inside it or do many of the things the normal one can do

#

I’m also not sure if you can draw handles into it

(It’s also possible some of that has improved in 2019.1, we’re on 2018.3 at work)

Hey everybody, does someone know if there is a way to catch the event when Unity is being invoked from the browser?

Whenever you import an asset the browser calls:
com.unity3d.kharma://
Which then call this:

It opens the window Asset Store.

Nevermind, I found a smarter way.

@visual stag So, sense you asked. I got things to render using both the PreviewRenderUtiliy and also using Handles.DrawCamera but neither will draw the sceneview handles. The only way I can get one that will draw the sceneview handles is by using GUI.DrawTexture and using SceneView.lastActiveSceneView.camera.targetTexture. However interestingly that seems to only be the handles of the currently selected GameObject and nothing else. Not even any meshs. And (unsurprisingly) I can't interact with them which is what I really want.

true hemlock Apr 30, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

any one know why drawing to a RenderTexture with DrawMeshNow in an Update tick will only works sometimes and not others?

#

is i call the method from an editor button it always works. (this is all happening in edit mode)

distant atlas Apr 30, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

@true hemlock maybe you need to call Repaint() or SetDirty something

true hemlock Apr 30, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

i solved it by not using GL.LoadProjectionMatrix/GL.modeview and manually sending a View Projection matrix to the shader. GL has some wonkiness in editor mode I guess.

Does anyone happen to know how to recreate or access the prefab subscene editing scene window thing?

Look up PrefabStage

#

There's a whole new Stage API

gloomy chasm May 1, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

Hmm, what I really want it looks like is a preview scene.

#

Though interesting API for the prefabstage. Thanks btw.
From reading the description of it, it even uses a preview scene. I'm just not sure how to go about setting the current rendered scene to be a preview scene. Any ideas?

visual stag May 1, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

Argh I thought they had exposed the stage API by now, but no, it's just Main and Prefab

#

It's good to know what's coming I suppose though :/

#

I imagine you'd add a camera of your own to the preview scene and manually manage the rendering

#

Sorry if I'm not entirely understanding the question - did you mean rendering the scene view as the preview scene?

gloomy chasm May 1, 2019, 2:17 AM

#

What I really want is to be able to have a scene view render with interactable gizmos in a custom editor window. But getting the gizmos/handles to show and functional was too hard. So my second thought was to force the scene view to render some sort of custom render or something that looks similar to the prefab stage scene. And then just draw on to the sceneview what ever extra options I was going to do in the custom window. Or just make the options a separate window.

visual stag May 1, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

I think Handles.DrawCamera may be able to draw a camera with handles and gizmos, but all the tools I've made in the past have just worked in the sceneview so I'm unsure as to the details

gloomy chasm May 1, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

Yeah, I did try that. But was unable to get it to draw handles

visual stag May 1, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

Did you try other DrawCameraModes?

#

I swear I've done this before but I cannot remember what for, but I seem to remember using Textured

gloomy chasm May 1, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

Doesn't seem to

#

Even if I did get them to draw I would still need to do something about making them function. So I thought just doing something like the how editing prefabs works would be simpler. But maybe not?

visual stag May 1, 2019, 2:31 AM

#

Is there a reason you cannot just do this in the scene view?

#

You seem to want to draw the scene view already

gloomy chasm May 1, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

The only reason not to use the scene view is simply because of all the game objects on the scene.

#

Worst case I could have it forcibly change scenes to a empty scene.

#

to give you an idea what I am doing. I am making a tool for my self that is basically speed tree for plants

visual stag May 1, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

Have you tried the previewScene approach with
Handles.SetCamera
in the middle, then drawing your handles, then ending the preview

#

That may have been what I did in the past - I wish the docs really linked all this together nicely and it wasn't just a case of either finding ancient code where you or someone else figured it out in the past, or jumping across the docs hoping to find the right combo of things

gloomy chasm May 1, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

Okay, so using Handles.SetCamera as you said works! How ever only if I use SceneView.lastActiveSceneView.camera

#

And when I do that it doesn't seem to render meshs

Hello guys, I just wondering that how long you wait when you change a script in your project ? I am designer and still learning this proccess. I try to understand assembly definations. It is not improve my existing project.

visual stag May 1, 2019, 9:28 AM

@visual stag How many script in your project ?

visual stag May 1, 2019, 9:31 AM

#

519

#

Not counting packages

meager iris May 1, 2019, 9:31 AM

I have 2200 scripts with all plugins. and waiting 30 sec Is it normal. What do you think ?

visual stag May 1, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

Perhaps, I think certain things can add to the time that aren't script reloads, anything with InitialiseOnLoad gets called and everything reserializes I think. Some others could weigh in on it. But it's probably a #💻┃code-beginner topic - this channel is for extending the editor

Quick question, I'm trying to add a gameobject to a prefab from a script, while inside the prefab in editor mode (prefab stage). I've tried a lot of things (making objects and the scene dirty, placegameobjectincurrentstage) but it seems the object just doesn't get saved to the prefab. Either it appears in the inspector for a brief moment and immediately disappears, or it appears but is gone when I reopen the prefab asset. Anyone got any clue?

zinc kelp May 1, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

Solved it, I had to retrieve the prefabstage.prefabcontentsroot then set that + the scene dirty

visual stag May 2, 2019, 1:56 AM

Slides 45 and onwards are a good resource for anything prefabs https://www.slideshare.net/unity3d/technical-deep-dive-into-the-new-prefab-system-123785944

I'm getting grumpy over IMGUI : < Does anyone know how to get past BeginHorizontal() seemingly having a minimum height? The lowsest element there with Pos X should be way smaller. The ones on top are GUILayout.Labels with a box style. They set their height perfectly fine

📎 unknown.png

#

I've also tried using my own GUIStyle instead of GUI.skin.box with (0,0,0,0) margin and padding

visual stag May 2, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

I'm out right now, but it's worthy to note that some styles have minimum heights you have to override too

#

If you post some code I can get back to you in ~20 with a code answer

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

There's no min height as far as I can tell in styles

#

However! I did notice that if I use style.fixedHeight I can at least force it to be smaller, which, works in my case ✨

I don't know since when this debugger exists, @visual stag do you?

What's this for exactly?

Looks similar to cinemachine's noise module

except looks like you're just tracking player motion or something

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:09 AM

#

In this case it's tracking a rigidbody, yeah, but it can track anything!

#

Working on a plugin called Tracker, meant to function as a visual extension of Debug.Log

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

Ah sweet, I have always wanted a graphing debug, and have made some crappy ones in the past

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

If there are any features/use cases you'd like, let me know! I've got a bunch planned, but, it always helps with more input

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:11 AM

#

Extended history (ie. compresses things further back in time) so yo you can see a whole lot of time

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

I've got values, graphs, histograms and mathematical plots so far. Still missing things like a 2D plots or simple drawing of shapes and such

#

As in being able to scroll back in the graph? Currently you can zoom in/out, the one in the .gif is pretty zoomed in

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:13 AM

#

Like, instead of things going out of the history buffer (not sure if this is what you're doing) the older history gets compressed and time on the graph looks exponentially shoved towards history if that makes sense... I'll see if I can find an example

#

can you add arbirary things to a single graph for comparison? That's the main thing

#

(unrelated to the previously mentioned request)

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:17 AM

#

Ah, I see what you mean! Currently I don't have infinite history like that, though I don't really see what use case it would have

#

Arbitrary things as in comparing two graphs or being able to mark moments in time / mark values / thresholds?

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

Something as simple as wanting to log two player's y values onto the same graph so you can compare

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

Ah, you can do that already!

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

Sweet, just making sure 😛

Track.Graph( "Graph (Multi)", "Player A", Color.cyan, transform.position.x );
Track.Graph( "Graph (Multi)", "Player B", Color.red, transform.position.y );```

#

(In this case I just used a single transform but, yeah, you can shove any values into it!)

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

I think the compressed history thing is just good for being able to compare averages across large time frames, like if you're graphing frame-time for example you can go through your entire game and see a large historical average, now, perhaps there's a few ways of doing this, perhaps having some built-in method to retrieve a graph's values might be a helpful starting point

#

That way you could retrieve the history, average it how you want, and then put it in another graph if you wanted

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:23 AM

#

I've planned to add averages/mean/mode tracking

#

In addition to histograms!

that's the shit I'm here for 👌

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

Good!

#

That's why I'm making tools~

#

(I mean not for you specifically, but)

#

(You know what I mean)

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:27 AM

#

I wish I could put as much effort into games as I put into the tools 😛

#

How about sceneview graphing?

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:32 AM

#

No scene view nor game view nor build graphs at the moment. Currently I consider it to be a bit out of the scope of the tool. I'm leaning pretty hard into it being simply a visual console while in editor

#

I want it to replace all your lines of Debug.Log( someValuesThatWouldBeBetterWhenVisualized );

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:33 AM

#

Yeah totally

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:33 AM

#

Oh, yeah, I forgot, it has a list display as well

#

In case you have a list of things you want to debug

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:35 AM

#

The only other things I can think of are that there could be a use for being able to place a playhead to compare multiple values, and what's the deal with the x-axis?

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:35 AM

#

Hm, yeah that might be useful!

#

The deal as in it not being labeled?

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:36 AM

#

Yeah, I assume you can label it in the call

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:36 AM

#

Wait, now I'm confused, what call?

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:37 AM

#

Graph.Log or whatever

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:37 AM

#

I was talking about the x axis of the graph itself, not a value I'm tracking

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:38 AM

#

Yeah, that's what I mean, shouldn't you have the option? It's probably relevant to see what time something was logged or if I want to graph something entirely different not in Update for example

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

Ah, gotcha! Yeah I'm thinking it'll be visible on hover

#

Both frame number as well as Time.time

#

But then I ran into the issue of like, wanting to track both the physics update as well as the render update

#

Because now it's kinda, unrelated to those. It tracks absolute time, regardless of what loop/timing you're using, since there's no concept of a "frame" in the tracker at the moment

#

So I'd need to add that and think about how I want to structure the user interfacing for it!

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

You should perhaps just let people provide the X value seeing as it might not even be time-based, I could graph something I generate in a single frame for example

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

For that you'd use the plot instead of the graph

#

The graph is specifically values over unity time

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

Hah, so many different graphs

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

Yup!

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

Seems like you've got everything covered! If I think of something else I'll let you know 😃

blissful burrow May 2, 2019, 5:43 AM

#

The one thing I don't have covered is like, data on what things people use in practice in Debug.Log, that could be visualized

#

It's hard to simply ask for suggestions, since, well, people tend to think of neat/cool looking ideas rather than the actually useful things they've tried in the past

#

And feature creep

visual stag May 2, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

Yeah, I wish I could remember

Oh, no worries!

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:21 AM

#

You might be running into the modules thing

#

There’s a bunch of separate module dlls, as well as extension ones (I think the UI one is the latter)

#

They’re nearby the normal UnityEngine.dll in the install directory somewhere

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:24 AM

#

@craggy sedge Yeah, I am a bit confused about that actually. Did UI get split out into it's own module and I should be looking for a separate DLL that contains that now?

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:25 AM

#

For 2019 I'm not sure if it changed, I thought it was already in a separate DLL

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

I see a directory with modules, one is called UnityEngine.UIModule.dll, although I'm just guessing at this point.

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

Yeah I was gonna say I think that's the one

#

The issue you might have is that depending on which UnityEngine.dll you referenced, you might have trouble using that

#

There's another folder with the extension dlls

#

Like Timeline and UnityEngine.UI

#

Outside of the 'Managed' folder, in 'UnityExtensions'

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:28 AM

#

Hmmm.. So I referenced the one in the parent directory, Contents/Managed/UnityEngine.dll, I'm on a Mac.

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:28 AM

#

Yeah I think that's the one you generally want

#

The other one inside the folder is the 'split out into modules' one which does weird stuff

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:28 AM

#

Yeah, that one seems to be fine with everything else except UI.

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:29 AM

#

The UI one is outside that folder, under Contents/UnityExtensions/Unity/GUISystem/UnityEngine.UI.dll

#

There's also UnityEditor.UI in the editor folder but you probably won't want that one

#

Unless you're writing editor stuff in your separate dll

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

Oh, interesting. Good to know as I may need that later. Let me try that one first as I didn't know about it. Thanks!

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:32 AM

#

One word of warning on that, Unity's support for external c# dlls is not particularly awesome. It's a lot better than it used to be, and almost all the bugs where like you couldn't use MonoBehaviours that came out of dlls and stuff have been fixed, but you may run into strange issues occasionally that don't seem to have any good explanation

#

In particular, I had lots of trouble with custom Playables that came out of dlls

#

Some would work great, others I'd get spurious "we couldn't load this because the script name didn't match the class name!" errors that would cause entire timelines to become un-editable without manually gutting them with a text editor

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:34 AM

#

That worked great, thanks! Error's gone and build complete. 😃 Thanks for the heads up, yeah, I figure I'm treading into some potentially hazardous areas here. 😉

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:34 AM

#

Cool, glad it worked!

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:36 AM

#

This is step 1, actually having to build this DLL containing runtime code so I can complete the build of an editor code DLL that references this one. Sounds silly. 😉

#

Here's a better explanation of what I'm doing in case anyone's curious as my explanation above wasn't the greatest:

craggy sedge May 3, 2019, 5:45 AM

That should work just fine

#

It's worth noting that the restriction of ScriptableObjects not working out of dlls should no longer apply, I don't recall having any trouble with those

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

@whole steppe nope, it is used in-game

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

I noticed you have a Resources section, does it allow embedding of image resources in the DLL as well?

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

Nope, what I do is generating a DLL for runtime/editor.
These are copied to a path.
The resources are just copied to the path as well.

#

Nothing special

#

Giometric talked about issue when dealing with DLL

#

I generate DLL all the time (My package "NG Tools" is based on that), and never had any issue

#

I guess because I know how it works

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

I see, yeah, I could see this being helpful to save time. I did get my solution working in Visual Studio but I had to hunt around for the right reference DLL's from Unity.

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

I understand people can find it blurry and hard to manipulate if you don't understand how assemblies work.

#

I handle references automatically

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

One thing I'm looking into now, not sure if it's worth it, but is including my graphics inside the DLL as well.

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

I don't embed resources inside the DLL

#

They are copied along with it

#

Simply because I work on Unity Editor

#

Assets need to be "readable"

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

Yeah, in my case it's in the editor as well but the assets aren't used for anything other than the editor window so they don't need to be exposed.

#

So I figured, if I'm making a DLL anyways maybe I'll look into sticking my images in there as well to keep things "clean".

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

To embed textures, I used raw Base64 hardcoded.

#

I have very few icons, 1 or 2. So it's not a hassle for me

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

yeah, I have more than a handful so thinking of just including the images as resources

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

I just checked to embed resources

#

It seems very easy to implement

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

yeah, was just reading up on it myself so will give it a try

#

Maybe you should try re-submit your tool to the Asset Store, think it'd still be useful and easy if it's just an icon switch. I see you're using an obfuscator which is a good idea for a DLL. Hadn't thought of that yet.

@onyx harness ?

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

You said if it was editor scripting

#

Rewired is made for in-game used mainly

lucid hedge May 3, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

How would I change the way that collider bounds are drawn in the scene

#

I want the bounds to be drawn always, not only when they are selected

#

but this only when the collider is on a gameobject that has a specific script

#

is there a way to override how a collider is drawn?

onyx harness May 3, 2019, 10:53 PM

@coral juniper Hey, still there?

Yup, still here.

Which framework are you working on?

or are you targetting

coral juniper May 3, 2019, 10:58 PM

I'm building with Unity 2019 for now, so .Net 4.x.

For release I'll probably go back to support 2017 LTS, not sure I'll go back any earlier than that.

Can you somehow get object from property?

#

I want to access public {get;} property

onyx harness May 4, 2019, 9:52 AM

#

Get the PropertyInfo from the class Type, then GetValue().

#

@zealous ice

zealous ice May 4, 2019, 9:53 AM

#

I figured out this:
(InterfaceWrapper)fieldInfo.GetValue(property.serializedObject.targetObject)

onyx harness May 4, 2019, 9:55 AM

#

This is for field, not property

zealous ice May 4, 2019, 9:58 AM

#

Yes, but having this I can get property

#

I do this finally:
var type = ((InterfaceWrapper)fieldInfo.GetValue(property.serializedObject.targetObject)).TargetType;

onyx harness May 4, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

oh

#

You are using the wrong wording

#

When you ask about property and SerializedProperty, you are confusing people

lucid hedge May 4, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

so no way to override how collider bounds are drawn?

#

maybe as a solution I could just draw a gizmo on top of it

Why Unity(2018-2019) lost links to prefabs in ScriptableObject instance after "Library" remove ?
And every time it is a new links, it is random.

#

is it possible to make custom inspector and asset in Assets folder for asset (Texture2DArray) which "returns" this asset but operates on different data?

#

I need to have Texture2DArray with few 4k textures in it, attempting to make it directly update and serialize such texture array instead of just using references and updating it GPU side only is not really technically viable

craggy sedge May 6, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

You could create a custom ScriptableObject asset, or importer for a custom file type, that creates a Texture2DArray on import as a sub asset

Hello !
Do you think we can ask for a specific channel dedicated to UIElements ?

onyx harness May 7, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

You should ask that in #531949462411804679 I guess

waxen sandal May 7, 2019, 1:25 PM

I'm not sure how UIElements doesn't fit in #↕️┃editor-extensions

leaden oar May 7, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

It's not that it doesn't fit, but I suggest that we could use a specific channel for this tech. In Editor scripting, there is nearly everyone only working on IMGUI which doesn't facilitate the exchanges on this new tech.

idle anvil May 7, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

i agree

#

beside, it's really confusing the way it work

#

especially how different the preview and the final version are

#

no mention that google keeps auto-correct the "UIElements" to "UI Elements" everytime i do a search....

#

which make the search more difficult -_-;

If you are aware Google corrects it, it should not be a difficulty

When building with Unity via commandline on a Mac, Unity starts multiple Xcode instances and doesn't close them upon completion. Has anyone seen this before? Is there anything that we can do about this in the short term?

@waxen sandal unity is going to put UIElements also in runtime

#

@onyx harness the problem is: lot of people don't know about that most of time.

leaden oar May 7, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

And Unity doesn't release a lot of documentations, examples and video

#

The source code of their 2 demo video don't have the same architecture

making it difficult to understand

exactly

which kinda pissed me off

leaden oar May 7, 2019, 2:29 PM

I ask for a dedicated UIElements channel on server feedback so we could share our experiences with that tech and our tries in a special space to learn from each other

gloomy chasm May 7, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

I went to go see about learning how to use UIElements. But decided to just wait because there is so little info on it. And the 'quick start' on it showed 3 or 4 really different ways to do the same thing without saying much about them or what is recommended.
+1ed it

I'm making a utility that tells the user all walk animations that don't loop properly for our project. Is there any way to get that red "no loop match" as a boolean? I looked at UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipAnimation and it doesn't seem to have that

📎 2019-05-09_20-37-23_23_Unity.png

distant atlas May 9, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

there's AnimationClip.localBounds but the value is always "Center: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), Extents: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)" no matter what animation I look at

distant atlas May 9, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

figured out a way to do it for anyone curious: I manually retrieve the first and last position of the animation and check if the delta is past a threshold:

foreach (var binding in AnimationUtility.GetCurveBindings(animation))
{
    if (binding.propertyName.Contains("RootT.z"))
    {
        AnimationCurve curve = AnimationUtility.GetEditorCurve(animation, binding);
        if (curve.length >= 2)
        {
            var difference = curve[0].value - curve[curve.length - 1].value;

            if (Mathf.Abs(difference) >= 0.25f)
            {
                // translation is too much. Z-axis movement does not loop
            }
        }

        break;
    }
}

The "RootT.z" there is always present for animations configured with Humanoid rig type.

You should not use a combination of serializedObject and Record, as they are conflicting

You're not using serialized properties so get rid of the SO functions

@wet ember if you search EditorUtility.INTERNAL_CALL_Internal_DisplayObjectContextMenu Mikilo has some code to help

#

in 2019.1+ you could inject your own content using UIElement, but it's difficult if you're not familiar with that technique

wet ember May 14, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

Hey @visual stag thank you for your answer. So I guess there aren't any less invasive way than that, except perhaps UIElement, which is not thoroughly documented yet?

visual stag May 14, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

It's not that difficult, but you'd have to:
-Get the inspector
-Create a callback when the selection/inspector changes
-Get the root UIElement and querty it for the appropriate VisualElement
-Inject your own button at the correct position

wary briar May 14, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

@visual stag Thanks for the answer. SerializedObjects methods were my attempt at trying to fix the problem. Undo record seems broken even for the barebones scriptable object editor::

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName ="Foo", menuName ="Game/Foo", order = 1)]
public class Foo : ScriptableObject{
    public string str = "a value";

    [CustomEditor(typeof(Foo))]
    public class FooEditor : Editor{
        Foo foo;

        private void OnEnable() {
            foo = (Foo) target;
        }

        public override void OnInspectorGUI() {
            if(GUILayout.Button("Set: " + foo.str)){
                Undo.RecordObject(foo, "test");
                foo.str = "other value";
            }

        }
    }
}

wet ember May 14, 2019, 12:31 PM

#

@visual stag Hmm. I will take a look at that. But of course it won't be backwards-compatible, right?

visual stag May 14, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

No, the way the inspector is drawn has changed since 2019.1+

#

and will continue to change as time goes on

#

So the earlier invasive version is likely the "stable" solution, though it's likely to change too, it's less definite

#

@wary briar that works and supports undo just fine?

wary briar May 14, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

interesting

crystal raven May 14, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

If that doesn't work, try adding EditorUtility.SetDirty() call. According to the docs it shouldn't need it, but I recall having to add it nevertheless.

wary briar May 14, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

SetDirty does work, but I need undo functionality

#

I'm looking into other things that could make it broken

visual stag May 14, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

Try using the SerializedObject version, and see if that works instead

crystal raven May 14, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Undo.FlushUndoRecordObjects.html maybe this?

#

Given that you're using a button it may not call that automatically.

wary briar May 14, 2019, 12:53 PM

@visual stag @crystal raven thanks lads

#

problem was a function that changed the ScriptableObject fields through the reference

void ChangePreffix(ref string str){

changing it to

fixed the problem for some reason

unsure if this is the right chat, but when you are working with sprites, what is the pixel per unit standard so no sprite looks altered compared to other sprites, do you leave all sprites to be one pixel per units size? Where can you set how large a unit is?
Id love to know since im working on a sprite 2d game and id love if the boxes were 16x16 pixels consistenly

craggy sedge May 15, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

The pixels-per-unit value you use is up to you

#

Unity defaults to 100 but you can set it to anything - the trick is making sure that you do so consistently

#

If you set your PPU to 16, your 16x16 sprite will be 1 unit by 1 unit

wild drift May 15, 2019, 12:50 PM

#

where do you set your ppu defaults? Its kind of a hassle to change it with every new sprite

 returns all of the properties. Say it's a CanvasGroup, is there a way to get only the alpha, interactable, blocksraycasts, and ignoreParentGroup?  AKA the elements only shown in the inspector

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 7:56 PM

#

You can't not really

#

@hot whale Those are shown from a custom Editor, it means it's kind of hardcoded as far as I know

#

Like a Transform, it only shows you nice Position, Rotation, Scale, while there is a lot hidden behind

#

You can look at their code, to check if those properties have some clues like attribute to tell you their story

#

But it would be surprising

hot whale May 16, 2019, 7:57 PM

#

Where would I find the code?

#

Also the interesting thing is, the ones seen in the inspector are the ones at the beginning of the list...So I think there IS something that defines them

📎 Capture.PNG

#

defines them as specially marked for the inspector in some way

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 7:58 PM

This is what ILSpy or dnSpy is giving me about CanvasGroup

I guess they are public

all the variables in my screenshot are public...

#

oh no wait! i don't check for that

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

In your GetProperties, add Bindingflags.FlattenHierarchy

#

No, you are getting all properties, from Type and parents Type.

#

By default, GetProperties fetches public members.

hot whale May 16, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

That made nothing show up :/

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

BindingFlags like an option

If you state only FlattenHierarchy, it will look for members on the type

hot whale May 16, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

But you are not telling it what else

#

So it is not going to look for Instance or static or non public or public

#

Add BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance

#

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.reflection.bindingflags?view=netframework-4.8

hot whale May 16, 2019, 8:02 PM

I guess every one of those variables are public

What is UnityComponent?

#

Are thought you were talking about CanvasGroup

hot whale May 16, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

correct sorry

#

BaseViewComponent<UnityComponent> : BaseViewComponent where UnityComponent : Component

#

In my current situation UnityComponent is CanvasGroup

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

oops i'm stupid

#

FlattenHierarchy is for flattening static members

#

Use DeclaredOnly instead

#

my bad

hot whale May 16, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

you are the GOAT my friend

#

thank you @onyx harness

#

guess I gotta brush up on my knowledge of BindingFlags

onyx harness May 16, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

Yeah, look for it, it is pretty stupid & simple stuff, practice some, you will see it's not that hard

#

If you are dealing with a lot of Reflection, it's gonna happen more & more

Hi all, how can I reference the parameters of a function that's called by an animation event that was created in the editor?

I think I need to reference the animation clip which I think is stored in RuntimeAnimatorController.animationClips[], but.. Im not sure where I can see which clip is stored at which index?

I have an animation clip that calls WeaponSwitch function and I need to pass in which weapon Im switching to

#

Is this the right section for a question such as this?

distant atlas May 17, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

@toxic prism if you want to read what's the current values set to the parameters, you can get them from the AnimationClip.events array, go through that which is an array of type AnimationEvent, and look through the properties like AnimationEvent.intParameter, or AnimationEvent.stringParameter, etc. if you want to modify the values of the parameters during runtime, yeah that's probably a question for a different channel

#

maybe in #💻┃code-beginner

#

Is there a way to filter findobjectsoftype so it works with the nested prefab workflow ?

#

e.g. when in the scene objects of that type that are underneath a prefab are not found, and when in prefab editing mode they are

@whole steppe you're probably searching for this: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssemblyReloadEvents.html

Any ideas why HideAndDontSave applied to a Component appear differently than any other combination of flags? It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/RQ20czo.png

#

When it should be at least hidden.

Anyone know if you can twiddle this via script?

@prisma chasm

GameView
private void SnapZoom(float newZoom)```
is what you want

prisma chasm May 17, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

got it

#

need to reflect into it?

visual stag May 17, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

Yup

prisma chasm May 17, 2019, 5:10 PM

thanks!

visual stag May 17, 2019, 5:13 PM

For future reference the way I found this was to use the GUIViewDebugger https://gist.github.com/vertxxyz/203ee44a3f0b4eab2371c74b225ff4f5

#

Then I used ILSpy and found out what that was calling

#

Then it checked whether anything public was calling it

onyx harness May 17, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

@visual stag have you ever try dnSpy?

visual stag May 17, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

@onyx harness nope, are the search and find reference features better? Caus that's all I really use ILSpy for, it's fast to do those few things

onyx harness May 17, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Better better, I wouldn't say better better.
But it has dark theme. 😎

visual stag May 17, 2019, 5:26 PM

I'll give it a shot later and report back, I need to sleep first

onyx harness May 17, 2019, 5:26 PM

Sleep well sleep well

Is there any reason that comes to mind that parenting via script would not take when on a Prefab Stage?

hot crane May 17, 2019, 7:57 PM

#

turns out I was using a dirtying method that only hit the underlying scene not the prefab stage.

Hello there, I apologize for the inconvenience, but, I'm making an Editor Window, and I wondered if there was a way to use EditorGUILayout.ObjectField to accept a json file?

#

I'd even be ok with just getting the path of the file

#

Ok I guess I can use the EditorUtility.OpenFilePanel, nevermind 😄

lucid hedge May 17, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

if I have this

#

GUILayout.HorizontalSlider(timeProgression, 0, 1);

#

and I want to only call a method when that slider is being dragged

#

should I do that with a EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck

#

okay yeah that works

#

another question

#

so I have this material editor in an editor window

#

📎 unknown.png

#

is there any way quick way to display the same values, but without them being editable?

#

like MaterialEditor.editable(false)

onyx harness May 17, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

I never did material editor. But can't you manually disable GUI?

#

@summer oyster yes,just use typeof(MonoScript)
