For what purpose? o_o

gloomy chasm Oct 10, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Like I said, for making a pins bar. Like the bar on the bottom ("Error List", "Output") and the left ("Toolbox").

📎 GuxoKZU.png

#

Could do ones on the left and right without too much trouble, but doing one on the bottom with a header would make it pretty bulky.

civic river Oct 10, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Am I missing something obvious? Extending Editor has UI elements support but EditorWindow does not

#

there's none of the UITK callbacks you need

visual stag Oct 10, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

in the Editor Window you just add to the rootVisualElement

gloomy chasm Oct 10, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

In OnEnable

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

PSA: Don't remove the sibling of rootVisualElement or your computer may very well bluescreen, lol.

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Really? That sounds like a very mean bug

#

lol

#

@visual stag Yeah, the rootVisualElement I can add to but there's no callbacks supported like the editor has.

        public override VisualElement CreateInspectorGUI()
        {
            return base.CreateInspectorGUI();
        }

Editor window is missing these

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

Yeah, it's not great. I mean I didn't test it again, but the project was empty so I think it should happen every time. I reported it with the suggestion that it close the editor window or simply not be able to be removed.

#

@civic river

private void OnEnable()
{
  rootVisualElement.Add(new Label("My Label"));
}

#

rootVisualElement is a property of EditorWindow

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

OnEnable has race conditions with initialziation

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

It can be any where, the important part is rootVisualElement

#

You can add/remove stuff from it at any time.

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

there's no way to know when it's safe to add/remove stuff though

#

it doesn't give a callback when it's done constructing

#

like the editor does

visual stag Oct 11, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

I am confused, I don't have any race conditions

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

What exactly are you having trouble with?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

If I do something like this

        private void GenerateMiniMap()
        {
            var miniMap = new MiniMap{anchored = true};
            var spawnCoord = graphView.contentViewContainer.WorldToLocal(
                new Vector2( graphView.contentViewContainer.layout.width - 20, 45));
            Debug.Log(spawnCoord.x);
            miniMap.SetPosition(new Rect(spawnCoord.x, spawnCoord.y, 200, 140));
            graphView.Add(miniMap);
        }

#

graphView.contentViewContainer.layout.width isin't constructed yet OnEnable

#

so you have to just guess when it's created

#

graphView.schedule.Execute(ConstructGUIAfterRepaint).StartingIn(100);

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

When are you calling the method?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

OnEnable

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

I mean after or before your graphView stuff? And is it a different window?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

this is OnEnable for the editor window

spring geode Oct 11, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

how do i use this code for my game? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/embed/6329166260600832" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

#

@civic river Is GenerateMiniMap() being called in the same script that you are constructing your graphview?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

        private void OnEnable()
        {
            graphView = new BaseGraphView
            {
                name = "Coffee Behaviour Graph"
            };
            graphView.StretchToParentSize();
            rootVisualElement.Add(graphView);

            graphView.schedule.Execute(ConstructGUIAfterRepaint).StartingIn(100);
        }

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

So where is GenerateMiniMap being called in relation to that code?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

it's in the execute call

#

        private void ConstructGUIAfterRepaint()
        {
            GenerateToolbar();
            GenerateMiniMap();
            GenerateBlackboard();
        }

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

You should be able to call it directly there, with no need for the schedule execute

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

the values are (Nan, Nan) for the size OnEnable

#

It calls OnEnable too early

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

You mean graphView.contentViewContainer.layout.width is Nan?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

yeah for the OnEnable call

#

it doesn't resize till the next frame

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

Would not going so deep work? (I don't remember the API for it so I honestly don't know)

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

nothing gets initialized until the next frame I stepped through with the debugger

#

and maxSize is some rediculous nonsense value for some reason on the editor window

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:54 AM

#

I am about to go to bed, so I can't look through it right now. But I would say if you haven't already look at the shader graph, or vfx code to see how they do it.

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

are those open source?

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

Yep, https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

I didin't know that was an option lol

#

well that's a super great resource

#

cheers

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

Yeah, it has been great. Warning though, as far as I can tell, a lot of the shader graph code was written while the graph API was still new, so things have changed and it does some things it self that the graph api does now. Also the vfx graph and shader graph implement things really differently.

#

I find the shader graph easier to read and follow in general, bit less complex.

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

it looks like they just rig an event to it

#

graphView.RegisterCallback<AttachToPanelEvent>(OnEnterPanel);

#

seems simple enough

pale geyser Oct 11, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

is it possible to just receive 1 mousemove event per frame in UI Elements (in an inspector?)

#

i'm receiving lots of them.. I just want the last one

📎 unknown.png

#

i'm using these callbacks to add the event (added in a VisualElement constructor after loading the container from UXML):

        shapeContainer = root.Q<IMGUIContainer>(name = "ShapeContainer");
        shapeContainer.onGUIHandler += OnGUI;
        shapeContainer.RegisterCallback<MouseDownEvent>(HandleMouseDown);
        shapeContainer.RegisterCallback<MouseMoveEvent>(HandleMouseMove);
        shapeContainer.RegisterCallback<MouseUpEvent>(HandleMouseUp);```

#

each event also calls my OnGUI for the IMGUIContainer function at least twice, resulting in it being run up to 100 times each frame

📎 unknown.png

#

ah calling event.StopPropagation() seems to have fixed it

hey guys, How do I show a field to drop an enum class into?

waxen sandal Oct 11, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

What?

south fox Oct 11, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

From what I understood this person wants to create a field in a custom editor/inspector window. This field should accept enum files...

onyx harness Oct 11, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

What is an enum file? What are not in Unreal X)

south fox Oct 11, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

It's a file that contains an enum I assume

#

Doesn't sound too weird too me. Such an input does sound weird to me though

mild reef Oct 11, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

I created a script that just has this: public enum Direction{X = 0,Y = 1,Z = 2}

onyx harness Oct 11, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

You need to read about DragAndDrop

mild reef Oct 11, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

And I want to be able to allow only the enum scripts to be used...

whole steppe Oct 11, 2020, 5:54 PM

Mikilo you were right

#

The list lost his reference because i was drawing it every frame

onyx harness Oct 11, 2020, 6:06 PM

Because you were "allocating" one every frame 🙂

Anyone have some insight how I can solve some UI elements issues. The alignment of my first element seems to be ignored(?) I don't really know what's going on here. And when there's too many elements trying to expand it just dies horribly

📎 xRsIX3ytfV.mp4

#

https://hatebin.com/varuvmftqe

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

@civic river For the too many elements expanding thing, I think you need to look at your styling on the parent of those elements. Not sure what is going on with the rest of it.

#

Have you tried looking at it with the UI Toolkit debugger window?

civic river Oct 11, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

yeah I didin't find anything that looked compelling

#

there's some sort of hidden margin on the first element that isint inherited but I can't seem to find out what it is

#

can you explain a bit about the styling thing?

#

I don't really understand the style sheets at all

#

If I create an empty foldout the alignment is fine... I just don't get it

Hahahaha

#

Just reset the layout, should be fine

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

How?

#

I can't access the layout options 😛

#

Oh, under window. That worked.

onyx harness Oct 11, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

If the whole UI is not responding, go there:
C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Editor-5.x\Preferences\Layouts

#

and remove the LastLayout.dwlt

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Cool, but yeah, it works. What I had done was remove the Toolbar, but it seems it removed the dock view as well for some reason. I mean, it had totally broke the editor when I removed the toolbar so I had to close and reopen the editor to get it to look like that.

onyx harness Oct 11, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Because a lot of things are linked intrinsically, and they don't expect to be null

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Well, yeah.

onyx harness Oct 11, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

And when you closed Unity Editor, obviously they saved the layout

#

Don't remove Unity stuff, hide them.

#

0 height, 0 width, or stuff like that

gloomy chasm Oct 11, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

I am not surprised. I am mostly just playing around seeing what can be done. Sadly that doesn't work for the toolbar, and when adding ui elements to it, if they have rounded corners they seem to just be all white for some reason.

#

At least if they are a child of the rootVisualElement.

I'm having a hard time finding out how to/if there is a way to create a prefab from an existing prefab, then modify that independently without adding it to a scene. Is there a way to do this? All of the PrefabUtility stuff seems to require adding it to a scene before modifying it.

PrefabUtility.LoadPrefabContents seems like it might be relevant but is a bit confusing, as it still loads the prefab into an "isolated scene":

Does this one solve your earlier question?

On a custom PropertyDrawer I'm using the following code:

EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
float newRange = GUI.HorizontalSlider(rangeRect, target.range, target.min, target.max);
if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
    target.range = newRange;

This works for setting the value.
However the MonoBehaviour with the custom PropertyDrawer doesn't have OnValidate called.
How can I force OnValidate to be called?

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Not sure, but maybe because you modified the target directly, instead of the SerializedObject

#

The change is not reflected

frozen cove Oct 13, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

I had to because the GUI.HorizontalSlider doesnt take the SerializedObject

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Invalidate the Serialized Object

frozen cove Oct 13, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

You guided me to the right solution! ...

#

EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
float newRange = GUI.HorizontalSlider(rangeRect, target.range, target.min, target.max);
if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
    range.floatValue = newRange;

(Last Line) range is my serialized property 🙂

#

what is expected from the update?

Hum... i read this is the wrong way of doing

tough cairn Oct 13, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

OnSceenGUI gets exec'd only when focused ?

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Because duringSceneGui will only be triggered on the SceneView repaint, isn't it?

#

which will just repaint a 2nd time due to your Repaint

tough cairn Oct 13, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

ah ye

#

SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView was returning null

#

guess ill capture it on the sceneGUI and use the ref instead

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

I guess it is null because when you use it, you are in a OnGUI or something and not a scene repaint

#

Those are very contextual

#

The name is not "lastDrawingSceneview" but "current"

There are equivalent for Inspector and others

anyhow i used the ref

seems to do the trick 🙂

void OnSceneGUI(SceneView sv) => view = sv;

public override void OnInspectorGUI( )

If it works, it works 🙂

exactly lol

its ok dw

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 6:16 PM

Hum... this last is very surprising

tough cairn Oct 13, 2020, 6:16 PM

that what i tried btw :

This is my most reliable way of finding any Object

it is not null tho

#

So what is not working then?

tough cairn Oct 13, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

it works

#

only when focused

#

so i change the slider and it won't repaint

#

but when using void OnSceneGUI(SceneView sv) => view = sv; it does forces it to repaint for some reason

#

idk

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Strange

tough cairn Oct 13, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

var val = (SceneView) Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll(typeof(SceneView)).FirstOrDefault();
//Debug.Log( val );
if(change.changed) val.Repaint();

#

vs

#

if( change.changed ) view.Repaint();

#

oof..

that one also stopped working

yep now ( 2/3 ) works lol

#

broke:
if(change.changed) SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView?.Repaint();
work:
if(change.changed) catched_view_ref?.Repaint( ); ( from OnSceneGUI )
if(change.changed) ( ( SceneView ) Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll( typeof( SceneView ) ).FirstOrDefault( ) )?.Repaint( );

What is the expected result?

tough cairn Oct 13, 2020, 6:42 PM

You must reimplement the drawer

I have this, where should I start?

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Either you redraw the whole UnityEvent manually

#

Or you reimplement a PropertyDrawer

Which will also need to redraw the UnityEvent manually

Out of curiosity, is there any drawback to putting assets (scriptable objects, prefabs, etc) in Resources, but not loading them? I put some in there for my game editor, but never load them in the actual game.

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

Very bad

gloomy chasm Oct 13, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

@onyx harness that isn't an answer. :P
@marble oriole The only drawback is that they would be included in the build of the game, meaning it would unneededly increase the size of it. I think that if a Resources folder is inside of a Editor folder, it will not be included, or maybe the other way around, could be wrong though.

marble oriole Oct 13, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Got it, thanks @gloomy chasm , that makes sense. I'll look into moving it elsewhere. Early enough in development that it's ok to do small refactors 🙂

onyx harness Oct 13, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

@marble oriole Having those folders embedded in build is one thing, having them loaded in memory while the user is never gonna use them is way worse

#

Because Resources are loaded at startup, which increases loading time for nothing.

marble oriole Oct 13, 2020, 9:33 PM

Guys what would be the best way to have an undoable field in an editorwindow which shows data local to the editor window, I mean like its not binding data from some other object but rather its just a private float field or something in the editorwindow class.

Heya, I can't seem to find how to make a (UI toolkit) visual element resize to fit it's content container

#

My css goto resize does not seem to exist in unity CSS land

goal is to keep the apsect ratio the same but keep the content completely in view

Have a play with the UIElements debugger

#

it's much easier to get things working and see the bounds of the rects you're dealing with

civic river Oct 14, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Yeah I tried playing with pretty much every setting I could think of, it seems like pretty much none of the settings do anything

#

absolute position might not be resizeable maybe

#

I can set up similar things in UI builder and it seems to resize them fine

#

but yeah add absolute position and it seems to be a buzz kill

🤔

I've conceded to just making a mouse drag manipulator

I want to draw handles, but in the same way the unity label icons are rendered.

I tried faffing about with the sceneview camera's cameraToWorld and inverse matrices, but somehow I can't get to the right behaviour.

The ">" in each of these should at some time be the endpoint for a spline that goes to another object.

These are drawn with "Handle.Label" right now, with newlines (because I can't space the lines myself correctly - this is part of my problem)

var top_right = view.camera.ScreenToWorldPoint( screenSize ); 
var bottom_left = view.camera.ScreenToWorldPoint( Vector3.zero );

Handles.DrawAAPolyLine( 2f, Vector3.zero, top_right );
        
Handles.color = Color.green;
Handles.DrawAAPolyLine( 2f, Vector3.zero, bottom_left );

Handles.color = Color.white;
Handles.DrawAAPolyLine( 2f, bottom_left, top_right );

ah... ok it doesn't like z shifts , fixed by adding this :

bottom_left.z = top_right.z = 0f;

So I have a horizontal layout group with 2 elements and the second one is a small button. So far everything is fit nicely. But if I change the second element to a vertical layout group because I want 2 small buttons on top of each other it adds a lot of padding to the second element. Why is that and how do I change that?

No nested vertical layout group

@deep wyvern To be honest, I'm not sure, especially without seeing the code.

Hello , i was wondering , why is the reorderable list so laggy when i add a good amount of items to the list.

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

Might depend

#

How much is "good amount", how heavy is your GUI

#

And of course, I'm not sure ReorderableList is well optimized

whole steppe Oct 15, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

40 items is maximum then it takes like 2-3 seconds until the gui reacts

#

i just disabled the custom editor script and everything works very fast so it must have to do with the custom editor/reorderable list

#

what do you mean with "how heavy is the Gui" Mikilo

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 4:26 PM

How heavy is your DrawElement?

What do you draw

Sorry, but you are not qualified to state if it is much 🙂

#

on top of that, you have a GetPropertyHeight right?

And I think I can say yes, this is heavy

40 elements, multiply by 5., 200 elements minimum in a single Editor

how do I detect the available width of an editorwindow, adjusting for the scrollbar if its present?

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

Hardcore

#

Use GUILayout.Space() and get last rect, to extract the width

#

Or something similar

#

Or go deep and dive into GUIView and clipping

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

eep

#

I assumed it would be rather simple, given I can see it happening in the inspector for default inspectors xD

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

You talk manually or using Layout?

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 7:58 PM

im using layouts

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 7:58 PM

usually you don't even need to handle

Why do youask?

            }
        }

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 8:00 PM

You're not using layout then

Layout with Width/Height is not exactly layout

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

yeah ok, thats a good point

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

Just before going into BeginHorizontal

#

Draw an invisible line

#

Or just GetRect with full expand width

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

hmm

#

GetRect with full expand width

#

im not sure I understand what that means GUILayoutUtility.GetRect(GUIContent.none, new GUIStyle());

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

Me neither

#

XD

#

Add an option to get expand on Width

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

this sets the value to the width and after it just decides to set it to 1 somehow
var width = GUILayoutUtility.GetRect(GUIContent.none, new GUIStyle()).width;

#

guess its the repaint and layout event being annoying

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 9:03 PM

You must use it from a Repaint

#

Never layout

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 10:21 PM

ah

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 10:26 PM

@onyx harness is it literally redrawing after the scrollbar is there and thinking it fits on there making it jitter like that lol

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

Sorry it is not suppose to be like that

#

The "width ="

#

Rect r = GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect();
if (Event.current.OnRepaint())
{
    width = r.width - 10;
}
``` @steady crest

#

More something like that

#

oh wait...

#

You must draw something before using GetLastRect

#

Or it will give you the rect of the last thing

#

and I don't know what it is

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

Would that be something above it in the inspector or could it be some other random ui element?

#

The last thing drawn above it is a horizontal group with a slider and a button

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

I really have no idea, it depends of you code

#

Well should be fine

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 10:50 PM

The available width if I log it is just constantly changing between x and x-15 which would be the width of the scrollbar

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

What is if (Event.current.OnRepaint())?

#

type == EventType.Repaint?

#

Why don't use your GUILayout.MinWidth()?

#

And skip the whole complexification

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

From what j found on the docs they should be equivalent

#

Oh y actually minwidth should do it

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

Or ExpandWidth(false)

#

Or something like that

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 10:58 PM

Gonna be some trial and error to find the right layout stuff rly

onyx harness Oct 15, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

And pre-detect if you are bigger than the (width-15)

steady crest Oct 15, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

Probably a good idea, ima try it in a few different ways. Interestingly each of the types has one of those boolean checks

what's the relation of the scene view camera position to its draw size ? so i figured out by trial and error that the view.cameraDistance is proportional to 1 unity unit when its value is 1 and a cube will occupy the smaller size of the screen completely , when its value is 2 the cube size will be at 50% , etc , but i can't seem to see how to calc the position

@tough cairn I don't quite understand what you mean. But if you want that field to serialize, you should be able just put [SerializeReference] on it.

[System.Serializable]
public class GridTileSettings : ScriptableObject

now when i do cs [SerializeReference] public GridTileSettings settings; in a MonoBehaviour it won't serialize

Won't serialize as in assigning a GridTileSettings asset to the field will not save the value? Or as in the field it self does not show up in the MonoBehaviour?

Nice. Just so you know, ScriptableObjects don't need System.Serializable attribute on them.

So did you get it working then?

gloomy chasm Oct 16, 2020, 11:21 PM

lol, well glad you got it to work. Also, Unity supports polymorphic serialization for fields of the ScriptableObject type, so [SerializeReference] is not needed there 🙂

Use the profiler to see what's taking long?

Is there a way to draw the content of a editor window inside of another? I feel like there was, but now I can't find it for the life of me.

onyx harness Oct 17, 2020, 3:26 PM

It's a tricky intent

#

EditorWindow are not supposed to be drawn inside one another

#

The state might be unpredictable

#

Depending on the EditorWindow

#

But technically, calling OnGUI should suffice

gloomy chasm Oct 17, 2020, 3:29 PM

Alright, will give that a try, thanks. I am trying to draw an inspector inside of a custom window.

onyx harness Oct 17, 2020, 3:30 PM

This is not EditorWindow X)

Inspector is just a pile of Editor

gloomy chasm Oct 17, 2020, 3:31 PM

Well, I tried to just loop through the components and create an editor for each, but that broke, so now I am trying this 😛

onyx harness Oct 17, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

You are doing something wrong then

#

https://twitter.com/_Mikilo_/status/1261383803060142080
Here I just create Editor from the Selection and draw them

#

Of course, there are many tricks in Inspector you have to handle to mimic it correctly

#

But this is the way

#

Drawing InspectorWindow in a EditorWindow is kinda dangerous

#

You need to perfectly handle its state, like enabling/disabling, focus, blur, etc.

#

There is only one drawback I know when mimicking via Editor.
Sometime the GUI requires the window to be specifically an InspectorWindow. There you are doomed.

Hey guys, sorta dumb question but I haven't stumbled on an answer if anyone's aware of one. Unity automagically names your field in the UIE builder/XML based on the field name you've declared, but the name doesn't appear to be mutable so it looks really horrendous but other fields don't look nearly as bad. Is their some way to change the display name for the UIE?
Here's an example of what I mean

Methods ObjectField(), there are many overloads

#

Use the one providing a label

#

and use EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth to adjust the width of the label

labelWidth, like stated above

oh ok

#

EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth comes at the end right?

onyx harness Oct 27, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

no no, before

#

it sets the width

#

the right way

1/ Is to save it to a variable.
2/ Set your intended width.
3/ Draw.
3/ Restore the width

What's the idiomatic way to manage cached data that is derived from project assets. I would like to create assets within the Library/ folder as Unity does, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about this is. Should I just be calling AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(myCache, "Library/MyExtensionName/MyCache.asset")?

Is there a way to remove a file created in the library folder with InternalEditorUtility.SaveToSerializedFileAndForget?

onyx harness Oct 30, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

AssetDatabase?

#

Save To Serialized is useful for assets outside the project, since Library is inside, there's no use @waxen sandal

#

And SaveTo is kinda dangerous if you don't grasp correctly it's behaviour

waxen sandal Oct 30, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

CreateAsset doesn't work in Library, perhaps in newer versions but I'm on 2018.4

onyx harness Oct 30, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

Sounds strange

waxen sandal Oct 30, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

So I assume other things don't work either

#

I don't recall ever seeing assetdatabase working outside of assets/packages

onyx harness Oct 30, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

AssetDatabase works at the root project level

#

Assets is just one folder inside

#

That's why you have to prefix all your paths with 'Assets/'

#

Because you can write to ProjectSettings and others

iron coyote Oct 30, 2020, 9:58 PM

I wonder if your controller is being destroyed before oninspectorgui is being called, I'd try adding if(controller != null) before and see if that fixes it

chrome dock Oct 30, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

I am just utterly confused. I slapped that around the entire oninspectorgui right after controller = (PlayerController)target, and the error stopped. I removed that if statement, and the error doesn't come back... (Yes, it was saved before doing if(controller != null) when originally giving error)

iron coyote Oct 30, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Well, there's a lot of things that /could/ be wrong, but off the top of my head the two major issues could be the old script was cached and unity didn't update it after the save, or there was an instance of the old script running that shared the same memory as the new one and when you updated the script with the if statement unity killed that instance

Hello.
does anybody know if one can change the background color of a game object preview created like described here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Editor.OnPreviewGUI.html

#

it works, but I don't like the black background

📎 Sb9CG0X.png

#

I tried assigning a new BG color style with GUIStyle bgColor = new GUIStyle(); bgColor.normal.background = EditorGUIUtility.whiteTexture;
But it didn't do anything

remote yarrow Oct 31, 2020, 7:07 PM

UIToolkit pros ... have you found a way to find out the size (especially "height", but width would be great too) of text elements in UIToolkit / UIElements?

...the obvious method (MeasureTextSize) is useless when building UI (not documented, but according to a Unity forums post: it only works AFTER you've displayed the UI).

In UnityUI this was fiddly but worked - is that the best workaround, to generate UnityUI objects and use them to calculate size instead?

waxen sandal Oct 31, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

Look at the source?

remote yarrow Oct 31, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

Um. It's native code. How do I see the source?

#

OK, so ... using UnityUI instead of UIToolkit actually works - but you have to guess a font + font-size (I don't know how to read the default font + font-size in UIToolkit, but if you try to read them back from a plain Label you get null data):

TextGenerator textGen = new TextGenerator();
        Font unityFont = EditorGUIUtility.GetBuiltinSkin(EditorSkin.Inspector).font; 
        TextGenerationSettings generationSettings = new TextGenerationSettings()
        {
            font = unityFont,
            fontSize = 14,
            fontStyle = FontStyle.Normal,
            lineSpacing = 1f,
            pivot = Vector2.zero,
            scaleFactor = 1f,
            horizontalOverflow = HorizontalWrapMode.Overflow,
        };
        float labelHeight = textGen.GetPreferredHeight(""+item.cssPadding.top, generationSettings);

#

If anyone knows how to read the current / default / global stylesheet info, I could update that to have correct values, but ... I can't find a way to access them (I've just re-read the full UIToolkit docs again, and done a lot of google searches, but nothing)

I finally got to the point of using the baked in (still lack of documentation) ReorderableList, but i’m a bit unsure on this new (to me) EditorGUI. Every tutorial ive found tells me to use EditorGui.PropertField, but for one variable I need a TextArea. Is it ok to use them, or is there some issue with doing so like it not connecting to the variable to update from editor?

visual stag Nov 1, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

You could use a PropertyField and just add a [TextArea] attribute to your field

chrome dock Nov 1, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

oh, ok

chrome dock Nov 1, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

that definite;y seams to work.

One other question. I have class Dialogue (Which is used on its own) that I created a custom editor for (which has a reorderable list), and then I have DialogueAction, which uses Dialogue class as a property. I have been searching on google, but maybe the words I am using aren't the right ones. But how do I use the existing editor for Dialogue in my DialogueAction so that I don't have to repeat all the ReorderableList stuff again (and update all places its used from one source)?

chrome dock Nov 1, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

I could go back to what I was doing before, where i just made DialogueAction require Dialogue to be on gameobject with [requirecomponent] and automatically grab it on awake, but i kinda want to have it all in one nice panel if possible.

(I kinda need to have it in same panel, because in future, I need to implement a similar feature, for a reorderablelist that can use multiple classes that originate from Action- which will have to run the classes in order)

remote yarrow Nov 1, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

I'm not quite sure I follow (I have no idea what all your class names mean) but - have you looked at Custom Property Drawers? Sounds like that's what you're looking for (they have a lot of ... um ... "design flaws" ... so they don't quite work the same as everything else, most of which I consider "bugs", but most people have now memorized the differences + workarounds for the differences, so ... we just suck it down these days :))

#

(and for the most part they work great, to be clear. It's just there are edge cases that work badly)

        }

        EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

        GUILayout.EndScrollView();

I suggest you go manual

Instead of GUILayout, use GUI for the buttons

What about Project settings? What do you do for those?
@gloomy chasm There's a lot of options here. There's a long forum thread about it. Depends what kind of project-settings you want to store, and what you're going to do with them :). For editor-extensions ... I tried all the clever stuff, and it all failed sooner or later (edge cases in Unity, things that are poorly integrated), so now I do:

ScriptableObject with all the per-project settings
Write code to prevent there being more than one copy of that file
For Editor: auto-detect it at startup but NEVER use Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll (it's fundamentally broken for this, even though lots of people try to use it for this). Have to do more of a manual search using the Editor-only APIs
For runtime: Fresources.FOOTA is fine.

@remote yarrow For using ScriptableObjects. How do you find them? Because of course, the user can move them.

I making a thing where the user can make collections of assets.

#

So I need to save each collection and all the assets in that collection. This is for editor only.

No, I store the asset GUIDs, not the actual assets or their paths.

#

I just need to know where a single ScriptableObject is located that stores all the collections.

#

I never thought of that. Now I am blanking on how you access Project settings data... :/

remote yarrow Nov 1, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

You can't reference it in projectesettings because projectsettings has no persistence - you have to write your own code to de-persis

#

What I do at the moment is a combination of Object.Find methods - hang on, I'll dig out a recent example

#

public static List<MySettings> findAllPossibleProjectSettings
        {
            get
            {
                string[] guids = AssetDatabase.FindAssets( "t:" + nameof(MySettings) ); //FindAssets uses tags check documentation for more info

                List<MySettings> @return = new List<MySettings>();
                for( int i = 0; i < guids.Length; i++ )
                {
                    string path = AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath( guids[i] );
                    @return.Add( AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<MySettings>( path ) );
                }

                return @return;
            }
        }

#

...a lot of trial-and-error went into that, and some bug reports submitted to Unity for e.g. "FindAssets" is currently undocumented and doesn't work unless you know the magic strings (I had to go in the Unity source to find them)

#

(but there's now a thread in the forums where unity team has given their input and asked for feedback on how we'd like it to behave in future, so I'm optimistic the API will get improved soon)

gloomy chasm Nov 1, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Oh, that isn't too bad ( I mean besides that it is a property and not a method :P
). Something like that is probably what I was going to do. Good to know I was on the right track!Thank you.

you still need to handle what to do when it finds more than one result 😉 (I wrote a popup dialog that "strongly encourages" the user to delete one of them, since results are undefined otherwise)

I would avoid using ProjectSettings folder because it has the same problem as all the other "smart" solutions: I fear it fails with core Unity features. Off the top of my head: isn't it impossible to have an AssetStore asset that has files in that folder? (because the assetstoretools package won't let you upload from it)

What sort of magic strings?

remote yarrow Nov 1, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

these "t:", "name:" etc

#

they control how FindAssets works

#

They cause Unity to instantiate an internal class that has some very useful methods on it that let you directly control what's being searched for

#

Off the top of my head: there's one for "include/exclude prefabs", and one for "only include assets, do NOT include scene objeects (or vice versa)"

#

If you feel it's fully documented, then great. I don't.

gloomy chasm Nov 1, 2020, 8:03 PM

That is because it uses the same search that the project window uses

remote yarrow Nov 1, 2020, 8:05 PM

Off the top of my head: it's not exactly the same, it uses the same internal hidden class, but it uses it slightly differently.

#

(but go dig in the source to see for yourself)

#

@remote yarrow lol are you being serious?
@onyx harness Honestly? When someone starts with swearing at me and calling me a liar? I lose interest fast.

If I cared ... I'd dig out the Unity bug reprot with Unity's repsonses, and we coudl go through in precise detail exactly what was missing. But ... see above comment. I don't really care.

"t:" was there since the beginning, when you type "t:AnyMonoBehaviour" in the Hierarchy, it behaves exactly the same, the doc is clear

I'm not sure if this belongs here so apologies in advance, but I've been trying to code a custom editor based off tutorial, and it's not drawing anything on screen

there should be a circle around the red cube to indicate the viewRadius

gloomy chasm Nov 1, 2020, 9:27 PM

@fading monolith ui in OnSceneGui is not capitalized, it needs to be.

#

So it should be private void OnSceneGUI() {}

fading monolith Nov 1, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Oh thanks!

#

that fixed it xD

#

I kinda knew it had to be a typo because it was exactly the same as the tutorial

#

So how would I make this rotate with the object it's attatched to?

gloomy chasm Nov 1, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

I think changing from using the vector forward to using the target's transform.forward should do.

oh nice, and to keep the angle centered on the front of it?

If a Serialized Property is of an int value how do I get a reference to that value to pass into EditorGUI.IntField
I'm trying to make a PropertyDrawer that will change the names of a generic int[] from Element0 to what I want it to say. I made the attribute already and can change the names using EditorGUI.ObjectFiled but that doesn't work since they are ints

    {
          try
        {
            var elementProperty = property.GetArrayElementAtIndex(0);
            int someX = 0;  
            int pos = int.Parse(property.propertyPath.Split('[', ']')[1]);
            EditorGUI.IntField(position, new GUIContent(((ArrayNameAttribute)attribute).elementNames[pos]),someX);
            
        }
        catch
        {
            EditorGUI.ObjectField(position, property, label);
        }
    }```

#

I need someX to be the actual reference to the int[x]

#

The renaming works fine. EditorGUI.IntField use to EditorGUI.ObjectField but that made the Inspector have an spot to drag an Object which didn't work

onyx harness Nov 1, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

You have a member intValue in SerializedProperty

primal chasm Nov 1, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Yeah I tried this:

            EditorGUI.IntField(position, new GUIContent(((ArrayNameAttribute)attribute).elementNames[pos]),property.intValue);```

#

And it does generate text boxes to put in ints.. It starts out as 0 then if i type 10 and hit enter. . it instantly changes back to 0

onyx harness Nov 1, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

because you never assign it

#

IntField returns an int.

primal chasm Nov 1, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

weird then why does it take a property.intValue to assign to.. if I have to do the assigning 🙂

onyx harness Nov 1, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Wrong statement

#

it takes the intValue as argument

#

It's an integer, which implies a value type

primal chasm Nov 1, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Oh i see

onyx harness Nov 1, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

🙂

primal chasm Nov 1, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

So it keeps displaying the current value

onyx harness Nov 1, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Show me the change

primal chasm Nov 1, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

Yeah that works correctly now

            property.intValue = EditorGUI.IntField(position, new GUIContent(((ArrayNameAttribute)attribute).elementNames[pos]),property.intValue);```

do you guys know if it would be possible in a simple way to somehow reuse the unitys prefab environment scene thing for other stuff? i mean creating a custom tool/extension, that could grab any gameobject (not necessarily a prefab), temporarily move it/isolate it into a seperate mini-scene to do some work and then just return it back to the normal scenes environment?

#

with emphasis on 'simple' here, so possibly existing unity API that would allow for this (one they already use for prefab workflow)?

waxen sandal Nov 2, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

It's called prefabstage

#

Not sure if the api is generic yet but that was their plan iirc

What is a good way of drawing a plain sprite in the OnInspectorGUI()?

waxen sandal Nov 2, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

GUI.texture?

frank gale Nov 2, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

That works... but I am looking for an auto layout option

#

if(sprite.objectReferenceValue != null) GUILayout.Label(((Sprite)sprite.objectReferenceValue).texture);

#

Currently I am casting the objectReferenceValue into Sprite, but the Texture property of a sprite is the whole texture sheet it belongs to, rather than the specific cut...

#

Guess I need to find a way of slicing that whole texture sheet and re-assemble the pixel back into a separate texture

blissful burrow Nov 2, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

okay the heck

#

EditorGUILayout.PropertyField( x, GUIContent.none ); is usually my strat for making a labelless field

#

but for some reason it's not working in this context, I get an invisible label with a fixed width that I can still drag my mouse over to change values

#

anyone know what might be the reason?

onyx harness Nov 2, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

remove the label ?

blissful burrow Nov 2, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

what?

onyx harness Nov 2, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Use the override without a GUIcontent

blissful burrow Nov 2, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

using the one without GUIContent will add the default label

onyx harness Nov 2, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Isn't that the right way of doing labelless?

#

oh ok

blissful burrow Nov 2, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

no, usually it works by shoving in GUIContent.none

#

but in this case I get an invisible label that is still interactable and is taking up space

onyx harness Nov 2, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Did it happen suddenly? or after a Unity version change?

blissful burrow Nov 2, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

no, it's in a specific situation where it doesn't work

#

nothing changed temporally!

#

I wonder if it's the indent level that might be messing it up

indent level is applied to all GUILayout.things it seems

I'd like to continuisly check if 1 field is set, and depending on wether it has a value or no value, enable and disable other elements.

But your intention might be wrong, be careful

For checking enable stuff, rely on events instead
