I am not receiving the OnPostprocessBuild callback after a failed build.
Is that a normal behaviour?
gloomy chasm
@drifting forge you would use the RegisterOnValueChange event to enable/disable another element when the value changes.
drifting forge
yeah that is what I am doing now. Although that means I have to initialize my elements too.
But yeah, I'll do it.
gloomy chasm
What do you mean you have to initialize your elements too?
drifting forge
Well my editor has 2 different way to be opened. 1. without an element 2. with an element, so now if I open it without an element, I have to disable some elements by default, while when it is opened with an element (so like if you double click on the asset), it has to enable it on default.
I guess I have to only initialize the disabled state
IIRC setting an object to a field by script also can trigger the callback, right?
gloomy chasm
Yes, but you can use SetValueWithoutNotify to not trigger a OnValueChange event
gloomy chasm
Np! 🙂

Can anyone here help me set up the controls for my vr player to be able to move around?
I have a script but don't know C#

Anyone have any idea how I can reduce this with UIElements
I want to have them inline, and remove the massive whitespace to fit them in
I'm using PropertyField to create the elements. I thought that might have something to do with it but I'm not sure, and I can't find anything on it.
split bridge
@glacial plank by default they have a minimum width that's quite large. You can override this with some uss. The debugger is really useful for finding and experimenting with these things - would thoroughly recommend checking it out. It's in most of the tripple dot (hamburger) menus in the top right of windows.
glacial plank
Thanks Timboc, I'll give it a look. I tried overriding the minWidth of the SerializedProperty and setting it to 0 with C#, but it seemed to have no effect.
Ah. The min width is in the label
@split bridge is it possible to access the IStyle member of the label in a serialized property? Or would I be up for rebuilding the properties manually?
split bridge
so I don't know your workflow but I usually create a uss style and apply the stylesheet. So I'd create e.g. (psuedocode) .unity-label { min-width: 30px; } or whatever
you can use all the usual css/uss selectors to apply it only to certain elements ofc
glacial plank
Ah I see. I've been working entirely within C#
On a CustomEditor... I may have to revise
split bridge
there are some initial pain points but imo it's worth using UI Builder and applying stylesheets... it pays off after the initial higher cost
split bridge
Yea no worries. You can do quite a lot once you get into the flow. E.g. this (https://forum.unity.com/threads/share-your-ui-toolkit-projects.980061/#post-6409617) dropdown uses 3 separate elements built in UI Builder and it's easy to change the styling with the gui.
glacial plank
Out of curiosity, do you have any initial materials for learning it?
The documentation is sparse and fairly 'high-level' explanations rather than implementation from what I've seen
split bridge
there was one thing I saw (which I'll try and find in a sec) but I just learnt things through exploration - the debugger helps a lot - especially inspecting how some unity windows are constructed
sorry, failed to find it.. though it was only some very beginner stuff which you're likely already familiar with by now

glacial plank
When loading UXML, do you need to do something to clone the tree?
I've currently got all instances of a propertydrawer sharing a single set of UI. :V
Which is obviously not ideal
split bridge
generally you use c# to clone a uxml template. So e.g. with a dropdown menu you'd clone a DropDownMenuItem.uxml via CloneTree() for each entry
glacial plank
How do you use CloneTree? I can't really figure it out
I've gotten as far as actually using the function, but I have no clue what it's supposed to do
split bridge
load your uxml (e.g. var bob = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<VisualTreeAsset>("myThing.uxml");) then add it your root visual element: var bobInstance = bob.CloneTree(); root.Add(bobInstance);
glacial plank
Ahh
I was looking at this...
Specifically..
Though this doesn't seem to like images?
I thought I was being stupid but I think this is just a terrible tutorial
split bridge
hmm yea, that's confusing
the docs do cover the basics although it's quite brief - https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/UIE-LoadingUXMLcsharp.html
glacial plank
I'm definitely doing something wrong then
I've pretty much copied that word for word and It's not creating multiple instances of the property drawer
[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(BezierPoint))]
public class BezierPointDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
private bool IsInitialised;
VisualElement RootElement;
private void Initialise()
{
RootElement = new VisualElement();
VisualTreeAsset visualTree = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<VisualTreeAsset>("Assets/Editor/Bezier/BezierPointDrawer.uxml");
visualTree.CloneTree(RootElement);
StyleSheet styleSheet = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<StyleSheet>("Assets/Editor/Bezier/BezierPointDrawer.uss");
RootElement.styleSheets.Add(styleSheet);
IsInitialised = true;
}
//...
what is initialise? you should be using one of the overrides
glacial plank
PropertyDrawer lacks OnEnable
split bridge
{
return base.CreatePropertyGUI(property);
}```Initialise runs once from CreatePropertyGUI
split bridge
ok and it returns the RootElement?
glacial plank
Yes
It displays correctly when there's only one
But with two, they both share the same UI Elements
split bridge
you're not adding the clone to the root as far as I can see
RootElement.Add(visualTree);
glacial plank
According to the docs, this does the same.
It doesn't work either way unfortunately
And I've confirmed with breakpoints that RootElement gains a child
split bridge
which part of the docs are you referring to?
glacial plank
The ones you linked
split bridge
that's for an editor window
glacial plank
This part specifically
Yeah, I double checked. RootElement.Add(visualTree.Clone()) does the same thing
split bridge
Does this show anything?
public class BezierPointDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
public override VisualElement CreatePropertyGUI(SerializedProperty property)
{
var root = new VisualElement();
var testBtn = new Button();
root.add(testBtn);
return root;
}
}```Well yes, it would. The issue is that it's sharing references to the tree somehow?
Look
The offset only appears when it's ticked normally, but with a size of 2 the offset doesn't appear by default
That's because the CreatePropertyGUI is run twice over the same elements
split bridge
I think you're discovering the horror that is property drawers - they don't work as you'd expect
for an array they're reused
split bridge
.. by accident it looked that way is my guess.. it's how it works afaik
glacial plank
Well.. that's rather pointless
I am still fairly certain that it worked fine before introducing the UXML
But I'll have to test it agian
split bridge
ok - just trying to help ¯_(ツ)_/¯
glacial plank
Aye, didn't mean to come off as dismissive, just confused. 🙂
I appreciate the help
split bridge
np, hope you work it out
glacial plank
Oh, I got it... Thanks to uDamian
Turns out, wherever I got the initialisation / OnEnable code from was wrong
For future reference, the uxml loading needs to happen every single time it's constructed
Otherwise for some reason it shares the same elements
split bridge
uDamian's a bit of a legend - wish every unity team had one 🙂

Can anyone suggest any extensions for making reorderablelist's easier in custom editor (or a simple "[reorderable]"). I am done with the build in system (it's way over complicated for what it needs to be), and I have tried several extensions from just google, that have just flat out failed ("Not being used in same namespace? i'll just show a normal list."). I see Unity Store has several paid ones, but I cannot tell if any are good due to lack of reviews.
I need a reorderable list, because I need to make a list of different classes that all inherit from one base class, and I do not want to constantly make new scripts/files for each instant that such a thing will be used.

@foggy birch I am like 90% sure that they didn't remake the whole close. maybe improved parts of it, I can't be sure though. I know at least what you see in the inspector in 2020.2 is just a wrapper they made around the normal ReoderableList class.
@chrome dock It's beta, so things could break, and be unstable. I personally don't know of any big problems with it though. But just in general, it can be unstable.

foggy birch

it is not
if anything, ActionSeries would be the ScriptableObject in the end, and not the individual classes in the List<Action> (Because, I expect there to be upwards of some hundreds)

Action is the base class that defines how a class inheriting from Action would run (such as a base virtual method called Run()). ActionSeries does not inherit from Action, as its name may suggest, but will define how to run through a series of actions (Such as, a player walks up to a chest and presses the action button to activate the ActionSeries which then: shows some text(Dialogue), gives the player an item, gives the player some money)

If you're editing the text in a text editor, for example, then this counts as an "external tool".

@tulip plank so?
Manual editing, no need for dependency
Since Unity doesn't provide anything public

- read line
- replace
- write file
Not more difficult than modifying JSON

you might be able to manually get a handle on the element and shuffle where it is in the heirarchy
there's no z ordering so I think the click always goes to the lowest index first

@foggy birch You can't, the opacity is for the parent and all its children. Think of it like hiding a GameObject in the hierarchy, you can't see it's children when you hide the parent. Same thing for VisualElements.

Ah, so first, there is no parent selector in USS. Second, the child takes the hover event, so I think you would need to register event listeners in C# to handle that. At least I think that would work.
Also, I don't think you really want the scroller to be invisible, you want the Slider, otherwise the actual content for the Scroller will also be made invisible.

Ah, my mistake.
The rest is still true though I believe. Will need to do it in c# I think.

two quick things - thing.something is different to thing .something there are also descendent selectors (e.g. >) - I don't know a lot about these so I recommend finding out a little more rather than listening to me but I believe thing.something applies a style to a VE with both classes whereas the latter will find any child of a VE with thing that has a class something

Im getting a weird error im not entirely sure how to solve it... It only seems to happen when I first open my editor window, and once every time Unity finishes compiling, while that editor window is opened
ArgumentException: GUILayout: Mismatched LayoutGroup.repaint
Looking online, it suggests it could be due to exiting a for-loop early and to use GUIUtility.ExitGUI(); - but im not exiting any for-loop at any point, and the solution just simply breaks the layout of my editor window, as expected from the auto-exception it throws internally, another post suggested to try something like if (Event.current.type == EventType.Layout) { return; } ?? But I feel like im misunderstanding that post since that just spams the equivalent of "your trying to draw 0 controls" and shows nothing on the window
The offender is GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); on line 189, any idea what might be causing it? https://hatebin.com/hzhwimznlq
onyx harness
If it happens once after you open the window, or after a compilation, it likely means you initialize something
which might change the layout
shadow violet
Hmm, what exactly might you mean by initialize in this case? Could it be the first line "if window is null, make a new EditorWindow reference" ?

Is it possible, with Unity's editor API, to build something like this?
- in my inspector pane, I have a pair of floats representing x,y coordinates. I click a button that says "Pick point in scene"
- a little window pops up showing a preview of some other scene (not the one that I'm currently editing)
- in that window, I click somewhere, and the x,y coordinates are saved into the x,y floats in the inspector pane
The second part (having a clickable visual preview of the other scene) is the part that I'm guessing might not be possible

Hey dumb question. I'm trying to make an editor that's got an editable list on it, like what you get if you have a public list in a monobehaviour with no editor. I'm not seeing anything that does that in EditorGUILayout. Is there an out-of-the-box way to do this?

@weak root If I remember correctly, EditorGuiLayout.PropertyField() should work assuming you set include children to true

Repeating my question from last night - how can I force an inspector to repaint? I've now tried GUI.changed = true and MarkDirtyRepaint and neither of them are working. My changes appear when I deselect the object and reselect it, but I can't figure out how to trigger the update without doing that.
onyx harness
EditorWindow.focusedWindow.Repaint()?
eternal violet
Unfortunately, that didn't do it.
eternal violet
Figured it out! I had to dig through the Unity C# reference to figure this out, but it turns out that you need to manually call Bind() on PropertyFields added after CreatePropertyGUI, or else it will just silently resist updating until CreatePropertyGUI is called again

Question on displaying arrays in an editor window
I'm trying to make something to automate anim exports, and want to drag/drop sprites from project lib into an editor window, but i can't figure out how to get an empty sprite array to show up in window
best lead so far is property fields, but it seems like you need a serialized ref to a property, which i don't have, as the only thing i've got to work with is the editor window and the project directory
onyx harness
What is an empty sprite array?
onyx harness
Just draw it manually
lyric herald
like i just want to get an array showing on the editor window that i can populate w/ sprites from the library
onyx harness
Looks and is a bit cumbersome, but it's not hard
lyric herald
ya, i'm not sure how to do that. if u can point me in right direction
onyx harness
You got your field of type Sprite[]
Loop on it, and draw each Sprite with ObjectField.
Or use ReorderableList to ease your life a bit
lyric herald
I see. so if i have this data
Sprite[] sprites = Selection.GetFiltered<Sprite>(SelectionMode.Unfiltered);
i should just draw it in the window?
onyx harness
yeah clearly
lyric herald
the one prob w/ that is i want to bypass reading what the user has selected and just have an empty field to drag/drop sprites instead
onyx harness
Remove this thing then and use a field
lyric herald
idk if that's possible
right, idk how to get a sprite[] field to display in editor window
onyx harness
Do you know how to display a Sprite field in an EditorWindow?
lyric herald
p.sure it's just an object field cast as a sprite?
onyx harness
exactly
lyric herald
and i probs surface some int property to manage how many
lyric herald
sure np
onyx harness
This will ease your life
lyric herald
i appreciate it. This clarifies where i've been stuck, there's just no direct way to get an editable array in editor window
onyx harness
Not directly
An array is basically a set of primitive fields
ReorderableList handles it
onyx harness
Or use SerializedObject to wrap an Object then use PropertyField on its properties
But I feel this way might be a bit complex for you
Prefer Reorderable
lyric herald
gotcha. So could i define a SerializedObject variable w/ the editor sprite targets , and then use that as the ref for the propertyfield?
lyric herald
SerializedObject so = Selection.GetFiltered<Sprite>(SelectionMode.Unfiltered);
how to do the cast then?
onyx harness
That's where I knew it would be a bit difficult
SerializedObject wraps around an Object
lyric herald
right
onyx harness
It can be a GO, a Component, an Editor, EditorWindow
Anything deriving from Object
Add a field of type Sprite[] in your EditorWindow
new SerializedObject(this) (this = EditorWindow) (do this code in your OnEnable)
lyric herald
okay, put that line in OnEnable
no ref to the new SO?
private void OnEnable()
{
new SerializedObject(this);
}
and i've got a Sprite[] field names _sprites already
onyx harness
yeah yeah, indeed save the SO somewhere
Use the event Selection.changed to update your field _sprite
Or do it at the beginning of OnGUI
lyric herald
ya, that's where it is now
onyx harness
(Former preferred)
Get the iterator from your newly done SerO
and kaboom draw it! 😄
lyric herald
great!
onyx harness
Do you know how to manipulate an newly created iterator?
lyric herald
so i could just create a new SerO from the selection, too ya?
instead of making the ref on enable
lyric herald
makes sense. it's probably generating too many assets for no reason
espesh in OnGUI
just wondering
and idk what u mean exactly by iterator here, was gonna research that
i see there is a getIterator() method tho
lyric herald
and that ya. that's where i was headed
awesome. i think i'm golden. anything else will just be working out any kinks while further learning the workings of these properties and methods
one last question, and i'm sure i can find the answer is. Is OnSelection an editor class method or treated like EditorGUI/Layout line items
onyx harness
What is OnSelection?
lyric herald
right, how to get that callback?
onyx harness
Selection.selectionChanged
lyric herald
like where would it go in the editor script. i'm only familiar w/ subscribing to events
onyx harness
OnEnable, hook in
lyric herald
ah got it
so just sub to that and then run method when it's invoked
do i need to unsub anywhere?
final question
lyric herald
ah right. first time messing w/ editor windows so wasn't familiar w/ all their workings. seems straight forward tho
onyx harness
no worry
lyric herald
and then a bunch of complex property scenarios cuz of how it has to write and record the data
if u know of some place that dives deep into this stuff outside of what Unity already offers feel free to share any addt'l reading. otherwise i'm good, and thx for the final time, and have a nice day

I think if you're using the binding it works automatically but if you're doing it manually via e.g. change handlers, you'll likely need to rebuild on Undo. You may get away with calling MarkDirtyRepaint() after undo if you want to avoid rebuilding. @eternal violet

Hi all -- I asked this in general-code but this might be a more suitable place to discuss the topic.
I'm making a "rope" object, which is comprised of a series of links and hinges. The formation is like this:
Link
Hinge
Link
Links are just capsules with a Rigidbody, and Hinges are capsules that have two Hinge Joints, one linked to the link above it, one connected to the link below.
The result is a physics-based rope (more of a chain, to be honest) that swings at each Hinge as you'd expect.
Obviously it's tedious to manually add Links and Hinges to increase the length of the rope. So, what I want to be able to do is edit the parameters of this rope in the inspector and have its script add Links and Hinges automatically.
My understanding is that I can run some script in editor to achieve this.
I currently have a script called "Rope" on an empty GameObject, with the expectation of generating the Rope Components (Links and Hinges) as children.
Here's the Rope script as it stands...
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class Rope : MonoBehaviour
{
GameObject[] components = Resources.LoadAll<GameObject>("RopeComponents");
[SerializeField] int ropeLength;
[SerializeField] int numberOfLinks;
public void CreateNewSection(Vector3 pos)
{
var newHinge = Instantiate(components[0],gameObject.transform);
var newLink = Instantiate(components[1], gameObject.transform);
MoveComps(newHinge, newLink, pos);
var hinges = newHinge.GetComponents<HingeJoint>();
hinges[1].connectedBody = newLink.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void MoveComps(GameObject hinge, GameObject link, Vector3 pos)
{
hinge.transform.position = pos;
link.transform.position = pos + Vector3.down;
}
}
I also have an EditorScript to make a button so that I can run the CreateNewSection method from the Rope script: (Warning: it's totally in shambles, as this is the part of the process I really don't understand...)
using UnityEditor;
[CustomEditor(typeof(Rope))]
public class RopeEditor : Editor
{
SerializedObject ropeObj;
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
rope = serializedObject;
DrawDefaultInspector();
DrawRopeEditor();
}
void DrawRopeEditor()
{
GUILayout.Space(5);
GUILayout.Label("Rope Editor", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
DrawCommitButton();
}
void DrawCommitButton()
{
if (GUILayout.Button(text: "Commit"))
{
rope.CreateNewSection(Vector3.zero);
}
}
}
Anyone have experience writing Editor Scripts and procedurally building objects like this?
TLDR: Trying to procedurally(?) generate GameObjects in the Unity Editor before runtime. Anyone know how to do this? 🙂

Sort of. The problem I have is that I can't figure out how to call the method from a button in the Inspector because I don't know how to properly make a reference to the actual script from the Editor script
Does that make sense?

I have an array of a struct with some info about an object so I don't have to getComponent it a bunch. I want to make this easier but having a custom editor instead just show an array of GameObject, and use those to fill out the actual array. I'm having trouble understanding how to display an editor made array though. Any tips?
untold prawn
Okay friends I have a bit of an annoying issue with a custom editor I've made. Basically I have a CharacterSheet class that contains an Inventory class, which lists all items in the characters inventory. So I made a custom editor so I could quickly see the contents of the inventory, if any. So far so good as read only.
Now it's gotten to the point that I want to be able to set a height and a width for the inventory. So like with all other Unity objects I add two public fields and add two IntFields to my custom editor. The problem is that if I attempt to edit these values through the Unity editor they reset to 0 every time
I'm not sure why this doesn't work all of a sudden
somber zinc
untold prawn
I am not and I just realized another thing; all the other fields I've been modifying have been working through Unity's default editor - I actually can't modify any of the intfields I've made myself! This is probably why
Oh yeah this works! Thanks!

Hopefully this is the right section to ask, but does anyone know of any resources on how one would go about packaging a retail level editor?

anybody knows how to launch EditorUtility.SetDirty from main thread? im calling it through a Timer and it launches an exception because is not being called from main thread
any workaround?
south fox
Afaik it's not possible unless you send messages to something running on it
vernal belfry
send messages to something running on it?
south fox
On the main thread.
south fox
Something like a class that hasn't been instantiated on a separate thread.
vernal belfry
maybe my mistake was to use the System.Timer
south fox
https://github.com/PimDeWitte/UnityMainThreadDispatcher
I did a quick google, but something like this
vernal belfry
yeah i found that too but i thought I wouldnt need 3rd party assets to do something so simple
south fox
But it's not simple
south fox
Running something on a different thread is essentially starting two timelines.
vernal belfry
yeah, that i get
south fox
One can message (send events to) the other. But the other will have to then do the work.
vernal belfry
but i remember inn .net simply calling the main thread dispatcher ant tellinng him to run this or that
was 2 linnes of code
but seems here is not that simple
south fox
I don't think that's true
south fox
I think .net also requires you to message the main thread
vernal belfry
you simple get the current dispatcher
south fox
If it's possible, that's cool. And I'd also like to know how. But I don't think it is. In any case, Unity uses .net so try your method.
vernal belfry
well, im talking about... uf
i think it was .net 3.5 but i guess its still possible
nono, i trust you, if you tell is not possible here it must not be possible
south fox
Lol don't trust me. I don't know everything.
vernal belfry
just saying i remember doing that in winforms and maybe wpf
i will try not to use the timer
lets see
south fox
Idk what you're doing
But you could use async/await.
I'm curious about what you were talking about now though.
vernal belfry
no this is just for editor....... like this:
south fox
Do you mean Application.Current.Dispatcher?
vernal belfry
to make te
Do you mean Application.Current.Dispatcher?
@south fox yes i think it was something like thst
that
i dont remember
what im trying to do its an event that detects changes in the description textbox
theres an [OnValueChanged("MyMethod")] tag
that helps me to do that
buf it triggers every time hepushes a key
so i was creating a timer and restarting it
every time MyMethod was called
south fox
You want to throttle? Or debounce?
vernal belfry
so it would just trigger when he stops writting for 2 sseconds
south fox
Debounce. Okay.
vernal belfry
yep
but using the System.Timer got me in this multithreading shit
and i am in a normal class so i cannot use a coroutine
what should i do?
and you will say why dont you use a simple button for saving?
south fox

how would you apply it there ?

Tasks can be cancelled. Otherwise you could perform a check to see if it's time to run. await Task.Delay(someTime);
There might be a better way, I don't know. But this is what I would try.

Should I ever use dependency injection for injecting monobehaviours? in my experience, it's completely useless and creates confusion in the team. is there something i'm missing?

In my experience, yes, avoid Zenject, DI in Unity does not work well.
MB and others were not thought for DI.

i have written myself a simple editor window, that shows the output of a selected camera - mostly UI stuff hanging around in 3D space.
it's just for making it a little bit split in design and has no real bound functionality.
it's working fine, but it doesn't redraw on editor changes, so if i change values of what's seen, it doesn't appear there.
how would i make my editor window notice, that things have changed in the editor, like GameView or SceneView do ?

They probably just repaint all the time
There might be some events like hierarchy changed or something like that

I installed unity using these options however I can not build to android, the JDK, SDK and NDK are not getting recognized. Do I have to install them manually? If so, what are the recommended versions?
stuck olive
This installer sucks. Install through unity hub instead.
This one just adds the platform option, if u do it through hub, unity will also install its own convenient android sdk/jdk/ndk
Withoutany effort
@sand spindle
If u dont want hub, ur next easiest option is to install android studio and get dk paths from that
whole steppe
Yeah , download the android sdk and then you can browse the extension in unity
Checkout blackthornprod's mobile video , he doesn't use hub in that one , he uses the online android sdk installment

I'm doing EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck() and if(EndChangeCheck()) SaveAssets etc. I feel like if there was another field that would be lost too. How should I solve this?

hey, are there any editor scripting wizards available?
i have a reference to a System.Type, which is always a MonoBehaviour inherited type.
i want to draw each field of this type in a custom editor window, so i can serialize it and write it to a json file for loading later.
is this possible?
i think the problem here is, that i can't create an instance of a MonoBehaviour without attaching it to a gameObject, so serializing it doesn't really work
i'm using a custom SerializableSystemType class right now for saving the Types, but this cannot store the actual state of the object

Hi everyone,

waxen sandal
Editor.GetEditor or something like that
tardy moss
@waxen sandal i I think you didn't understand me correctly
tardy moss
I have this function, that is supposed do draw an inspector field for any serializable type:
private static T DoField<T>(Type type, T value)
{
Func<object, object> field;
if (_Fields.TryGetValue(type, out field))
return (T)field(value);
if (type.IsEnum)
return (T)(object)EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup((Enum)(object)value);
if (typeof(UnityEngine.Object).IsAssignableFrom(type))
return (T)(object)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField((UnityEngine.Object)(object)value, type, true);
if (type.IsSerializable)
{
}
Debug.Log("Type is not supported: " + type);
return value;
}
also this:
private static readonly Dictionary<Type, Func<object, object>> _Fields =
new Dictionary<Type, Func<object, object>>()
{
{ typeof(int), value => EditorGUILayout.IntField(value == null ? default : (int)value) },
{ typeof(float), value => EditorGUILayout.FloatField(value == null ? default : (float)value) },
{ typeof(string), value => EditorGUILayout.TextField(value == null ? default : (string)value) },
{ typeof(bool), value => EditorGUILayout.Toggle(value == null ? default : (bool)value) },
{ typeof(Vector2), value => EditorGUILayout.Vector2Field(GUIContent.none, value == null ? default : (Vector2)value) },
{ typeof(Vector3), value => EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field(GUIContent.none, value == null ? default : (Vector3)value) },
{ typeof(Bounds), value => EditorGUILayout.BoundsField(value == null ? default : (Bounds)value) },
{ typeof(Rect), value => EditorGUILayout.RectField(value == null ? default : (Rect)value) },
{ typeof(Color), value => EditorGUILayout.ColorField(value == null ? default : (Color)value) },
};
in the empty if (type.IsSerializable) { } I need to draw the default inspector for this type, which should definitely be possible because it's serializable
but I can't seem to find a way to do this without the use of SerializedObjects, which are not available, because the type and value aren't stored in a UnityEngine.Object
This is what I actually want to do
I have a window in which you can add any MonoBehaviour, override some of it's default values if necessary and then save the whole thing as JSON so it can be rebuild as a GameObject in runtime
it works pretty well, except if the component has fields of a non-primitive type, but which are Serializable
those it won't draw
waxen sandal
Property field?
tardy moss
you need a SerializedObject for that
what I'm doing right now is via Reflection loop through every Property/Field of the Component, draw its name and the "override" button next to it
when you click "override" it should display an inspector for that Property/Field according to its Type, of course only if its Type is Serializable
and when clicking "save" every overriden value is stored in a List for saving later
the value is only stored in this List<object> which is laying on a custom C# class
which again is not a UnityEngine.Object, so I don't think i can use a PropertyField for that
waxen sandal
Pretty sure you're doing something you can't do
You're trying to do something you can't do
tardy moss
It has to be possible
Unity does this natively
I'm basically trying to save all information necessary to rebuild a GameObject from a json file without ever creating the GameObject
Unity does the same thing when saving scene files
tardy moss
Okay nevermind everything i wrote, i will just create a GameObject and add all components automatically so I can modify the needed values
Next problem: How can I serialize those components?
I know I can Deserialize them via JsonUtility.FromJsonOverwrite()
but how can I create such a Json file containing each field and it's value for any built in or custom MonoBehaviour?
because JsonUtility.ToJson() just saves the InstanceIDs
public class PlayerState : MonoBehaviour
{
public string playerName;
public int lives;
public float health;
public void Load(string savedData)
{
JsonUtility.FromJsonOverwrite(savedData, this);
}
// Given JSON input:
// {"lives":3, "health":0.8}
// the Load function will change the object on which it is called such that
// lives == 3 and health == 0.8
// the 'playerName' field will be left unchanged
}
I need to create this JSON input for any MonoBehaviour possible, while of course only serializing supported types
tardy moss
I guess I will need to write a custom JSON parser that can do this, no idea why JsonUtility doesn't support this :/

I tried to make a custom editor for a scriptable object I have and wanted to use the Scene view window. I added a listener to SceneView.duringSceneGUI in my OnEnable and removed the listener in OnDisable. This allowed me to draw objects in the Scene view. My issue is that I want to use PositionHandles to modify some Vector3 values like in a monobehavior editor. However, upon trying to interact with objects or handles in Scene view, the ScriptableObject I'm editing becomes deselected
So the handles disappear
Does anyone have any workarounds for this? I'm relatively new to Unity.
I've seen Editors for Monobehaviors that use OnSceneGUI and work fine but the ScriptableObjects I'm using make more sense as data types that live in the file system and can be used by multiple different GameObjects
wispy delta
I tried to make a custom editor for a scriptable object I have and wanted to use...
interesting. idk why clicking handles in the scene would deselect the scriptable object unless you misclick and don't actually press on the handle
if you're making a custom editor for a scriptable object i think you should just be able to use the OnSceneGUI function. Perhaps it's not working because you're using the duringSceneGUI delegate

Hello with some friends we want to do a 3D TSP project with python script but I'd like to visualize our result in unity.

Is there a control that can handle rendering/working with extremely large arrays?
like thousands or 10s of thousands of elements?
or perhaps more specifically, can anyone recommend a virtualizing array renderer?
waxen sandal
I think most people solve it using pagination rather than virtualization
I don't think Immediate mode gui is very friendly towards virtualization
Apparently there's also a virtualized list view in UIElements
onyx harness
It depends, if your heights are dynamic, it's a more complex to implement
If it is fixed, pretty easy to virtualize
I don't know how complex is your "element", but this scale matter is handled by anyone who wrote a Console equivalent, where we have to deal with 10k, 100k, 1000k.
severe python
its just a list of structs
technically 2 arrays of structs
and those structs are just primitives and other structs which are made up of primitives

Is the height fixed?

Hi, I have an editor tool that edits an array of objects via SerializedObject. This array can potentially be 1000's of items long, and trying to edit it in a single frame causes a noticeable editor freeze for 5+ seconds. I have tried to eliminate that by doing the save in a co-routine over multiple frames, and that does work, however I was wondering if there is a faster way to edit this data than how I am doing it.
I get the SerializedProperty for the array using this code:
for (int i = 0, count = 0; i < patternElements.Length; i++)
{
EditorPatternElement e = patternElements[i];
patternElementsProp.Next(true);//now pointing at row of array element
patternElementsProp.intValue = e.offsetFromMainCell.row;
patternElementsProp.Next(true);//now pointing at column of array element
patternElementsProp.intValue = e.offsetFromMainCell.column;
patternElementsProp.Next(true);//now pointing at layer of array element
patternElementsProp.intValue = e.offsetFromMainCell.layer;
patternElementsProp.Next(true);//now pointing at LOD of array element
patternElementsProp.intValue = e.LOD;
patternElementsProp.Next(true);
patternElementsProp.Next(true);
count++;
if(count == 10)
{
count = 0;
yield return null;
}
}
The code to determine when to yield is rudimentary and could probably be redesigned to maximize the speed of the method and minimize the time the method causes the editor to freeze, so please don't worry about that.
What I am specifically wondering about is whether using SerializedProperty.Next is the best way to fastest way to edit the array data? Or is there some other method I am missing.
Thanks for any help!

Editing a SerO over multiple frames sounds like a dangerous idea
wintry badger
Well, SO.ApplyModifiedProperties is not called until after all the frames have finished, so I think if there's an error the whole save will just be thrown out.
I hope at least
Otherwise the editor will freeze up for 10+ seconds in some cases
onyx harness
Maybe modifying the target directly might be faster
wintry badger
Hmm, yeah, you are probably right. Are there any resources for the best way to do that now? To ensure everything is saved to disk properly?
onyx harness
To ensure? Just manually read & check the file yourself.
You modify the Object, Update() the SerO to get the changes
Ctrl+S and read the file, if you see changes, it's good
