I don't know why it did work when I had the field marked with just [SerializeField], but not on prefab variants. But does work when marked with [SerializeReference]. I would think that it would either work or not work, not this strange halfway thing. Who knows.

#

Yeah... that is true. But don't really have much choice. Only good way to do undo/redo and support prefabs.

#

well, that's just how Unity is with editor features, it seems in the last 2 to 3 years they've put out a bunch of half-baked features

#

looks and works nice on the surface, but once you start digging, you start running into issues

#

and sometimes it's not even that the feature is incomplete or has bugs, it's that they have it extremely poorly documented, which leads to user error

#

@raw viper please don't send private messages asking people for help 🙂 ask your question here, someone asked you to share code, but you didn't. So we can't help

So I have a List that's is showing up in inpsector.
how would I go about setting up an initial size of the list when the component is added into the gameobject.
coz normally => you add component, set size, list shows 4 fields.
I want to eliminate the part of setting the size.

can you not do e.g.
public List<int> someInts = new List<int>(4);? Or am I missing something? 😄

Hey, I created a window that I want to show use ShowModalUtility, and I want it to render to the Scene window, I tried hooking to SceneView.duringSceneGui but it seems the modal is blocking Unity entirely so the editor is not updated (no calls to duringSceneGui)

#

Any idea how I can achieve this while block my other EditorWindow?

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

@valid wharf @split bridge by doing new List<int>(5) you are only setting the initial capacity of the list, not the actual size. To set the size of a list when you initialize it you can do public List<int> someInts = new List<int>(new int[4])

#

a list has capacity as well as size, they are different properties

split bridge Jan 20, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

Good point - hopefully @valid wharf got the gist 🙂

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 2:52 PM

#

well the size property is actually called count but yeah

#

@solid thicket as far as I know you can't render an entire window to the scene view

solid thicket Jan 20, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

I don't want to do that, I just want to change SceneViews camera settings

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

what you can do is use GUI/EditorGUI/GUILayout/EditorGUILayout methods inside the method subscribed to SceneView.duringSceneGui with Handles.BeginGUI & Handles.EngGUI

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

solid thicket I don't want to do that, I just want to change `SceneView`s camera settings

you asked how to render an EditorWindow in the SceneView

#

🤷

#

if you want to show a modal window while keeping the SceneView updating you can use SceneView.RepaintAll()

solid thicket Jan 20, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

I said I want to render to the scene view, I didn't saw the window itself

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

Hey, I created a window that I want to show use ShowModalUtility, and I want it to render to the Scene window 😅

#

I want it to render to

#

Nevermind, anyway I wanted to change the SceneView settings

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

that's just what you asked. Now what it seems you are actually trying to do is show a modal window within the screen rect the SceneView window is at

solid thicket Jan 20, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

SceneView.RepaintAll() Worked!

Thanks!

How do you get an event when an asset is deleted?

patent pebble Jan 20, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

@gloomy chasm
this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessAllAssets.html
or
this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetModificationProcessor.OnWillDeleteAsset.html

#

these are, as far as I know, the only 2 ways of getting native info from the deletion of an asset from the Unity Editor

#

maybe there's other ways of doing it, I'm not an expert in asset management

Hey @patent pebble I just saw your response. Here is the code:

#

index = EditorGUI.Popup(new Rect (guiDefaultPosition.x + 110, guiDefaultPosition.x, 200, 20), index, new string[]{"None", "Anim #1", "Anim #2"});

#

This is all that shows though when I click on it:

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 8:50 PM

#

@mild reef I think you have to escape the # symbol

#

I don't know exactly how to do that

#

I know you can escape quotation marks with a backslash for example

"This is a string with a \"word\" in quotations"

#

that in a string will result in:

"This is a string with a "word" in quotations"

mild reef Jan 22, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

Hmm, don't ever remember having this issue before weirdly...

#

But you are correct about the # symbol. I just removed it and they all show up with 1 and 2...

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

you could try this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding

#

it says the equivalent of # is %23

#

not sure if that applies to c#

#

@mild reef try with the backslash first, \#

mild reef Jan 22, 2021, 8:57 PM

#

Ok thanks...

mild reef Jan 22, 2021, 10:04 PM

#

@patent pebble I got an "unrecognized escape sequence" error...

#

with #

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

yeah the # symbol is a weird one

mild reef Jan 22, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

Ill try the %23...

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

if you just put a space between the symbol and the number it works

#

but I don't think there's a way of having it on a string without a space

#

"Something # 1" will work

#

but not "Something #1"

#

i'd suggest just forgetting about that symbol and use plain numbers instead

twin dawn Jan 22, 2021, 10:57 PM

#

You can also use string literals with the @ symbol and C# will interpret it diffeerntly: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/verbatim

@ - C# Reference

#

like you can use a lot of characters without needing escape sequences

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 11:13 PM

#

@twin dawn I think the # symbol still has conflict when something goes after it without a space

#

even when doing the verbatim literal string

twin dawn Jan 22, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

could be!

#

could always interpolate your # symbols in too

#

string myString = $"phone {Hash}555-555-5555";```

mild reef Jan 22, 2021, 11:23 PM

Hey guys, I just did a skim through your posts and tried all of those and nothing works...I just reported this as a bug to Unity since there is no explanation...

#

as to why this happens when you can see it like this before it being active:

#

📎 unknown.png

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 11:37 PM

#

yeah nothing seems to work for the Popup in regards to the # symbol

#

probably something in their source code that treats the strings in a certain way

#

like for example doing index = EditorGUILayout.Popup(index, new string[] { "Test", "Test/1", "Test/2" });

#

will result in the menu item having a submenu

#

📎 fc8cd2fafa9048431fe56ae538051fd3.png

#

they probably have reserved some symbols internally for context menus and menu items and that sort of thing

twin dawn Jan 22, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

Oh

#

It's related to this

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MenuItem.html

#

It creates keyboard shortcuts

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 11:43 PM

surprisingly they have that documented 😅

SOmething about what you said re: menus rung a bell in my brain

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 11:45 PM

@mild reef there you go, seems like you won't be able to use any of the symbols %, #, &, / in any GUI stuff that uses menu items

mild reef Jan 22, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

Since what version of Unity?

patent pebble Jan 22, 2021, 11:50 PM

#

probably since forever

#

the docs for Unity 5.2 already had that

onyx harness Jan 22, 2021, 11:57 PM

Just use similar char

#

For % and &, it might be hard to find one

#

but # and / definitely have some

You can probably find the source somewhere in the editor

Or you cna just load it

If you can figure out hte name

#

internal/handles or something probably

patent pebble Jan 23, 2021, 8:20 PM

@waxen sandal I saw this on the forums
The source of the Handles shader doesn't exist in the editor installation. The shader used is precompiled inside an asset bundle of default editor resources.

waxen sandal Jan 23, 2021, 8:20 PM

#

In that case you can just load it

patent pebble Jan 23, 2021, 8:21 PM

@patent pebble There is HandleUtility.handleMaterial though I don't remember what it does and is undocumented.

patent pebble Jan 24, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

@gloomy chasm yeah there's multiple issues with that one. It changes color (red, green blue) based on the camera direction, it fades out if any mesh is between the camera and the handle

#

and most importantly....

#

LOL

#

That is a great comment.

patent pebble Jan 24, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

So I just downloaded the built-in shaders from their website and tweaked the one called HandlesLit

#

the Editor is probably doing other things to the way Handles are rendered, because I can't just replicate the same color, shading and fading behavior using the built-in shader. I got close enough tho

patent pebble Jan 24, 2021, 5:19 AM

#

oh I'm dumb, I figured out why the weird behavior, I forgot global shader variables were a thing 🤦‍♂️

#

@gloomy chasm so yeah then technically using the HandleUtility.handleMaterial works, but it's just a pain having to make backups for all the shader variables

#

so using a new shader for my custom values saves that headache

I'm trying to determine what the best practice is for placement of a package settings asset. Here's the scenario:

I have a ScriptableObject which stores the settings in my Packages/*/Editor/Default Resources/*.asset path.
That object has a method to load and/or create the asset file and a method to return a SerializedObject for it.
I have a SettingsProvider which is registering a project settings window which loads/saves and allows editing of the values in that above asset.
The SettingsProvider and the ScriptableObject are currently in my PackageName.Editor namespace.
I have code in a different namespace called PackageName which needs to load and use the settings.

Should I just include the PackageName.Editor namespace in my files which need to read the settings so I can use the ScriptableObject to load the settings? Or should I move the ScriptableObject to my PackageName namespace which is already included in the file defining the SettingsProvider? Or should I be doing something entirely different? What is the typical / recommended convention for separating editor code from non-editor code and making package-wide settings available to both sets of code?

whole steppe Guys, I'm making an editor window How can I use the selection method

?

#

what i mean is the context in the window changes depending on the object i selected

waxen sandal Jan 25, 2021, 7:49 AM

Selection.ActiveObject or something like that

#

Then just check the type or w/e you want to do

Quick question regarding UI toolkit based editor windows in 2020.2

#

In previous unity versions, I used this code to populate the hierarchy

📎 unknown.png

#

However the CloneTree function appears to no longer work properly

📎 unknown.png

visual stag Jan 25, 2021, 10:18 AM

#

I don't think you need to do rootVisualElement.hierarchy, can't you just add directly to rootVisualElement?

cloud wigeon Jan 25, 2021, 10:18 AM

#

Same error unfortunately

#

📎 unknown.png

visual stag Jan 25, 2021, 10:19 AM

#

The error does seem to be coming from the clone function, not the add

#

so it must be something weird with your uxml?

cloud wigeon Jan 25, 2021, 10:19 AM

#

the weird thing is since i am using hierarchy.add it appears to be an issue within the clonetree function itself

cloud wigeon Jan 25, 2021, 10:20 AM

visual stag so it must be something weird with your uxml?

Just realised that the UI builder can't open the uxml either, works fine in 2019.4

Yeah, I just took a look at the UI Builder to see what it does, and that seems to be it. I was wondering how to handle when actually making the package. But I think I just realized that it should be in it's own, non-Unity folder and then add it as a package to a Unity project to work on it.

Okay, riddle me this, I have no idea why this wouldn't work, and why this would be different
I have a PropertyDrawer, inside which I have do some drag and drop handling
https://github.com/PassivePicasso/ThunderKit/blob/development/Integrations/Thunderstore/Editor/DependenciesDrawer.cs#L56-L94

📎 unknown.png

#

the top Inspector is a custom editor for a type I call ComposableObject, this is the ComposableObjectEditor, which draws each field using EditorGUI.PropertyField
and so the DependenciesDrawer gets invoked whether the ComposableObjectEditor or the normal Inspector for the ThunderstoreManifest object is used
however, if I drag and drop onto the ComposableObjectEditor's Dependencies list, it never shows the asset as droppable, even if canDrop is true
Furthurmore, it isn't droppable I can't drop it in that state and have it drop
but I can drag and drop to the normal inspector just fine
Shouldn't the DependenciesDrawer behave the same regardless?
I even added...
if(canDrop) Debug.Log("We can drop here");

Which does log when I expect it to
which suggests the visual mode should be updated

#

and suggests that I should be able to drop it, I just don't understand why this wouldn't be working here, and it definitely was working at one point...

oh and this is janky, if I put the window on the right side of the editor there is a missing pixel column, put if I remove the -2 then it is not accurate for normal (central/in your face) window alignment

I'm looking for a design pattern for event chains.

so far i've just been enabling GameObjects:
Object A does it's thing, then enables Object B
Object B does it's thing, then enables Object C.

this is done with a simple field that references the next object. It's dead simple to implement but it's also completely unmaintainable.

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 7:46 AM

put the list where?

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

It depends?

grim vine Jan 28, 2021, 7:47 AM

#

i suppose it does

#

public interface IEvent{
    void Next();
}

#

i could implement an interface like this along the monobehavior. But then what is "Next". Is it enabling a component? Or GameObject? could be anything. One object should have no knowledge of the next operation in the chain.

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 7:51 AM

#

I'd just separate your chain into a separate class that then handles the invoking and waiting for the next event

grim vine Jan 28, 2021, 7:52 AM

#

public interface IEvent(){
    void Exec(System.Action next);
}

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 7:52 AM

#

If you really only want one class then yeah that works but that'll be annoying to set up

grim vine Jan 28, 2021, 7:54 AM

#

yeah, each component needs to implement the interface

#

and i need to create an editor for the manager

grim vine Jan 28, 2021, 8:18 AM

#

public interface IEvent(){
    void Exec(System.Action next);
}

public class AwaitTrigger:MonoBehavior, IEvent{
    private Action _next;
    
    public Exec(Action next){
        _next = next;
    }
    
    private void OnTriggerEnter(){
        _next();
    }
}

public class EnableObjectEvent:MonoBehavior, IEvent {
    public GameObject ThenEnable;
    
    public Exec(Action next){
        ThenEnable.SetActive(true);
        next();
    }
}

public class Eventer : MonoBehavior {
    public IEvent[] Subscribers;
    private int _position;
    private void DoIt(){
        Subscribers[_position++].Exec(DoIt);
    }
    
}

#

but yeah, i need to create monobehaviors for triggering common events like triggers. And other than that everything else needs to implement that interface which may be a hassle when i get stuff like killing mobs or player actions like jump/move

#

@waxen sandal what was your suggestion again?

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 8:24 AM

#

Remove that next action, make your eventhandler just iterate over the events

#

And make the eventhandler normal class

grim vine Jan 28, 2021, 8:31 AM

#

public class Eventer {
    public IEvent[] Subscribers;
    private void DoIt(){
        foreach(var f in Subscribers)
          f.Exec();
    }  
}

?

because it gets it wrong anyway

#

under "naming" it says 'from model's material'

the model's material in blender is named thrustTrail

#

but unity always ignores the existing material and generates a new one, because the generated name doesn't actually match this at all

it adds all this extra bullshit based on properties of blender that are irrelevant to unity

i really like to manage my materials strictly so this behaviour is frustrating

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class ForceExternalMaterialProcessor : AssetPostprocessor {

        var modelImporter = assetImporter as ModelImporter;
        modelImporter.materialLocation = ModelImporterMaterialLocation.External;

morning all. can anyone point me in the right direction on how to write a custom property drawer for lists? requirements: it has to be a drawer (not an editor), and it needs to encompass the drawing of the entire list (my attempts so far only take over the drawing of the elements, but i want entire array control).

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 3:42 PM

#

DecoratorDrawer draws the whole list iirc

#

Otherwise you can't

vernal bison Jan 28, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

trying now, thanks. and yeah, i found your second statement to be true

#

hmm, so switching to a decoratordrawer, the list still draws in addition to my fanciness. is there a way to tell it to not draw the property it's attached to? reading docs, it sounds like that's not how decoratordrawers work (they don't draw a property)

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

You can make a wrapper around it and create a property drawer for that class

vernal bison Jan 28, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

sorry, not sure i follow. are you saying instead of trying to draw only my List with a property draw, to instead create a custom drawer for the entire class?

waxen sandal Jan 28, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

class ListWrapper
{
  public List<int> list;
}```
then create a PropertyDrawer for ListWrapper

vernal bison Jan 28, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

oh right, yeah, i thought of that but that'll result in a lot of data loss.

#

so it sounds like taking over drawing of an entire array property is not possible without jumping through data-changing hoops. so next question would be: if i have a custom editor for the parent class of the array, is it possible to say something like "draw all elements as you normally would except for this one. let me take care of that one" instead of me having to custom-draw everything in the class.

hey all, another random question for the masses: first time working with reorderable lists in a custom editor and everything is fine except one oddity. i actually have two lists in the class and therefore two reorderable objects. the removal behavior differs between the two. when i remove from list A, it removes the entire element from the array as expected. when i remove from the list B, it first clears the field within that element, then i have to click "-" again to remove the element itself. why would that be?

it's not in a drawer because, afaict, drawers can't take over the entire array drawing. instead, it's a custom editor for the entire class, and in that class are two separate arrays of things, both of which I've overridden via reorderablelist. when i remove an element from list A, it actually deletes the entry. when I remove from list B, it only clears it out. then i need to hit remove again, THEN it removes the entry. same custom editor, similar code to run both reorderable lists, but they behave differently.

vernal bison ahh, that must be what's happening then. is there a way to bypass that behavior ...

For the ReorderableList, just set the OnRemovecallback to account for it. I personally have made a extension method for SerializedProperty that sets it to null if it is not already before deleting it which I use to make things easier.

Hello, question about addressable build (this is the most specific channel I could think of for this). Is there an equivalent to IPostprocessBuildWithReport to make operation after building an updating a catalog (I'm trying to automatically upload the catalog to our backend)?

What are good ways of "hooking up" extra functionality to default Unity features?
For example:
Having a toolbar with some buttons being drawn on the SceneView by default from the moment I open Unity (and also be able to close it and open it from a menu item on Unity's top bar)

I know this can be used to achieve that https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/InitializeOnLoadAttribute.html
Is there anything else that I should learn on this topic?
Or anything I should be careful with?

#

*This isn't for a particular tool or anything, I'm just trying to learn about every way Unity can be extended

severe python Jan 29, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

there are a number of methods that people have used, but none of them are particularly great

#

Thats why Gabriel has been working on a new system to manage this better

Hello everyone! We are very excited to announce, we now have a public build available to try out the new Overlays system!

Important Disclaimer: This...

patent pebble Jan 29, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

@severe python any pointers to what other people have used for this in particular? I find it sort of difficult to google info on the topic since I lack the specific vocabulary in order to do so

#

oh

severe python Jan 29, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

I've honestly not done it myself

#

There are a ton of tools that have, ProBuilder has versions with such features IIRC

#

Curvy Spline does it

#

actually, I don't know why I'm saying IIRC, ProBuilder adds a button widget to the scene view

gloomy chasm Jan 29, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

InitializeOnLoad is what most people use. I personally now also just get the rootVisuelElement and add stuff to that instead of messing around with IMGUI.

patent pebble Jan 29, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

yeah I've used some ProBuilder for prototypes, iirc they have a small toolbar that pops on the sceneview, but I don't know if it's an Editor Window or just GUI controls hooked up to the SceneView.duringSceneGui callback

severe python Jan 29, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

well you have the source code, and you know what to look for

#

so open it up in VS and do a find

patent pebble Jan 29, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

oh right I should do some digging

#

maybe they have the source up on GitHub since they are now part of Unity Technologies

#

@gloomy chasm I'm not very familiar with UIElements, so I rely mostly on using IMGUI

#

but I'll look into that too

patent pebble Jan 29, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

severe python https://forum.unity.com/threads/overlays-public-build-available.1018858/#post-67...

this looks very interesing, but I guess we'll have to wait for 2021 version to see how they shape up that tool! 🤔

severe python Jan 29, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

yeah unfortunately

#

the preview of overlays is available, but you'll probably have to be on the 2021.1 beta

patent pebble Jan 29, 2021, 7:05 PM

#

@severe python yeah, i just took a quick glance at their developer guide and seems they use UIElements for that, which I'm not very familiar with

#

I guess I'll have to learn how to deal with it soon 😅 heh

severe python Jan 29, 2021, 7:05 PM

#

UIElements is the Way

#

I've been doing a ton of IMGUI lately, and it only cements my belief

#

the one thing I have to give to IMGUI as of late, is that its completely trivial to implement virtualization

#

its just kind of a given, only render what the user can see

patent pebble Jan 29, 2021, 7:07 PM

yeah

What would be the best way to recover static vars in an editor tool after domain reload? I know I could use EditorPrefs but is there a way to keep it in memory without writing to registry or disk?

normal jay Jan 30, 2021, 2:59 AM

#

Did anyone ever use Addressables.LoadAssetAsync for editor scripting ? It doesnt resolve unless i wiggle the viewport or save the scene

#

Or any async method call in editor for that matter

ancient sable Jan 30, 2021, 3:16 AM

#

Has anyone here ever used or seen any editor tool used to play and pause multiple audio clips simultaneously.

For years, I have been using Reflection to call UnityEditor.AudioUtil methods to play, pause , stop and resume audio clips but now I need to be able to play multiple clips at a time , pause or stop one or two without breaking playback for everything.

I am curious to find out if there are any editors that do this.

visual stag Jan 30, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

My speculation without trying it would be to look towards the Timeline audio API.
I'm fairly sure it has audio preview, and I would assume multiple tracks

#

I think it uses AudioClipPlayable

#

you can look at the source for AudioTrack and its associated files as it's in a package

ancient sable Jan 30, 2021, 3:56 AM

@grim vine they are messy, unoptimized and not extensively tested

and also does the discord rp count as an editor extension

grim vine Jan 30, 2021, 11:08 AM

   void OnEnable() {
        _method = typeof(EditorGUIUtility).GetMethod("HandleHorizontalSplitter", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    }

    private static MethodInfo _method;
    private static Rect HandleHorizontalSplitter(Rect dragRect, float width, float minLeftSide, float minRightSide) {

I have an issue I don't understad, Given this code...

        public override void OnInspectorGUI()
        {
            dataArray = serializedObject.FindProperty(nameof(ComposableObject.Data));
            CleanDataArray();
            using (new VerticalScope())
                for (int i = 0; i < dataArray.arraySize; i++)
                {
                    var step = dataArray.GetArrayElementAtIndex(i);
                    var stepSo = new SerializedObject(step.objectReferenceValue);
                    var editor = CreateEditor(step.objectReferenceValue);

                    EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
                    try
                    {
                        if (DrawElementHeader(step))
                            editor.OnInspectorGUI();
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        Debug.LogException(e);
                    }

                    if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
                    {
                        EditorUtility.SetDirty(stepSo.targetObject);
                    }
                }
        }

#

If I make edits to any field via the inspector, I the changes are not persisted

#

I copied the general setup from the Unity C# reference, but they didn't even do what I'm doing with set dirty, which I added as a troubleshooting step

#

the editor in this example is always...

    [CustomEditor(typeof(ComposableElement), true)]
    public class ComposableElementEditor : UnityEditor.Editor
    {

        public override void OnInspectorGUI()
        {
            DrawPropertiesExcluding(new SerializedObject(target), "m_Script");
        }

    }

#

I honestly feel like I must be missing something dead simple

#

📎 NoSerialized.gif

#

ah it has something to do with DrawPropertiesExcluding

gloomy chasm Jan 30, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

Is it because you are never doing serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties() perhaps?

severe python Jan 30, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

that was my thinking, but it seems to be more complicated...

#

it looks like I needed to update the serializedobject

#

    [CustomEditor(typeof(ComposableElement), true)]
    public class ComposableElementEditor : UnityEditor.Editor
    {
        public override void OnInspectorGUI()
        {
            serializedObject.Update();
            DrawPropertiesExcluding(serializedObject, new string[] { "m_Script" });
            if (GUI.changed)
            {
                EditorUtility.SetDirty(serializedObject.targetObject);
                serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
                Repaint();
            }
            Repaint();
            serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
        }
    }

gloomy chasm Jan 30, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

Ah, it is because you are recreating the editor each time

#

 var step = dataArray.GetArrayElementAtIndex(i);
                    var stepSo = new SerializedObject(step.objectReferenceValue);
                    var editor = CreateEditor(step.objectReferenceValue);

severe python Jan 30, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

this is totally copy pasta

#

ah okay

#

so I should perhaps try to persist my editors?

gloomy chasm Jan 30, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

Yep, I normally use a Dictionary<Object, Editor>

#

With the key being the objectReferenceValue

#

Or I will use the propertyPath string as the key.

#

Actually, what I would do my self is use the propertyPath as the key, and then make a class that holds both the Editor and the SerializedObject, that way you don't need to recreate it either.

severe python Jan 30, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

implementation details, but yeah that was totally the issue

#

Thanks!

Hi, i'm building a screenshots tool for a school assignment. I have an Editor script called "ScreenshotInspector" that uses OnInspectorGUI to add some extra functionality in the inspector to objects with "CameraScreenshot" script attached, all this works perfectly. When i add OnSceneGUI to "ScreenshotInspector" script and add anything like show some buttons, i can't click on inspector fields of that object anymore. If i leave OnSceneGUI blank it works normally. I can't find what causes this or how to solve it.

If someone needs to see the code its posted here:

Hey, I have an EditorWindow that contain a ScriptableObject property, which I set on OnEnable (and It is declared SerializeField).

Everything saves great when I exit the window and open it up again, the properties are restored correctly, but when I play the game, my property seems to be null

#

Any idea what could happen? when I look at OnEnable my property is set correctly, and is not null, the next function is OnGui which there it is already null (I debugged it when I hit the play button).

By the way, I use SerializedObject to serialize the properties

The reason you need the type there is because it is needed for the reflection. If you just want it to be a 'scene' dropdown, then you can remove both parameters and just hardcode them in to the property drawer.

Hello. This is likely straightforward but I can't really find documentation for a problem.
I'm creating scriptable objects in an editor script, and they have a list of sprite as member. If I try to load said sprite in code and assign them, they turn into null reference after the script finishes executing(as I would expected). How do I assign a reference to a sprite asset the way I would by dragging a sprite asset on a field in an inspector ? I assume it involve using a Serialized object after of before creating my SO asset, but I can't figure out how to set it up correctly.

waxen sandal Feb 1, 2021, 10:42 AM

#

Undo.RecordObject is the easy way

#

Otherwise create a serializedobject from your scriptableobject and then use findproperty/findpropertyrelative to find your array

#

Then use GetArrayElementAtIndex

graceful gorge Feb 1, 2021, 10:48 AM

#

I used GetArrayElementAtIndex and an so, but I think that when I load my sprites into my script, I lose the reference to their assets, they just exists in memory. Unless I should use another option than ObjectReferenceValue on the property ?

waxen sandal Feb 1, 2021, 10:49 AM

#

Show code

graceful gorge Feb 1, 2021, 10:52 AM

#

sure var result = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<LevelInfo>(); var so = new SerializedObject(result); List<Sprite> imageResults; if (remote) { imageResults = await GetImagesRemote(result, ImagesPath); } else { imageResults = GetImagesLocal(result, ImagesPath); } var prop = so.FindProperty("Images"); prop.InsertArrayElementAtIndex(0); prop.GetArrayElementAtIndex(0).objectReferenceValue = imageResults[0]; prop.InsertArrayElementAtIndex(1); prop.GetArrayElementAtIndex(1).objectReferenceValue = imageResults[1]; prop.InsertArrayElementAtIndex(2); prop.GetArrayElementAtIndex(2).objectReferenceValue = imageResults[2]; prop.InsertArrayElementAtIndex(3); prop.GetArrayElementAtIndex(3).objectReferenceValue = imageResults[3]; so.ApplyModifiedProperties(); AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(result, DestinationPath + "/" + legacyInfo.Word + ".asset"); return result;

waxen sandal Feb 1, 2021, 10:54 AM

#

Ah yeah if your images are in memory only then you need to save them

#

Also, there's no need to use serializedobject if you aren't editing an existing one

Unrelated question, I have a property drawer that displays a dropdown list of possible completions for a string field. it works fine, however if can't be drawn outside of whatever inspector it is in (so if the list should stretch over the next component in my game object, it gets cutoff). Is there something like EditorGUI.popup that behaves like everything else in that regard?

I've got a modifier system that involves creating empty game objects with components on them and registering them with a manager (Deformable). For a while I've been using a creator window that shows all of the creatable components. When you click one of the buttons, the window handles creating an empty object with the component and registers the created component with the manager.

Hi guys I'm wondering if anyone's tinkered around with this system before https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ExposedReference_1.html. In the docs it mentions that ". This can be used by assets, such as a ScriptableObject" What I'd like to do is I have a graph with a blackboard, I'd like to be able to add (scene) references to the blackboard which I can then add to my objects. The ExposedReference seems like the perfect fit, except I can't actually find how to implement the system. I've tried implementing IExposedPropertyResolver, however it seems like there's no appropriate time to call ExposedReference.Resolve() for scriptable objects. It looks like if I can find a way to use the resolver in the SO I'll be set, but I just can't figure a way. Anybody tried something like this?

long pebble Feb 3, 2021, 3:14 PM

So I'm trying to write some code to allow me to create and modify bezier curves in the editor. I'm trying to make it so I can place and position control points in the scene view like you do any typical Game Object, but I also don't want to have to write a new custom editor for any Monobehaviour that uses my BezierCurve class, which leads me to PropertyDrawers. Looking at the documentation though it doesn't look like PropertyDrawers can interact with the scene view in anyway which would require me to use a custom editor anyway, which goes against what I'm trying to achieve here. Is there anyway I can write a PropertyDrawer that will allow me to interact with the scene view to let me modify a curve, or am I doomed to write custom editors for any script that uses a curve?

#

At the very least it looks like I could use DrawDefaultInspector() to minimize work, but it's still not ideal

patent pebble Feb 3, 2021, 4:16 PM

#

@long pebble why would you need to make custom editors for classes that use your bezier curve stuff?

#

if all you want is modify the curves in the scene view by dragging points around, you don't need a custom editor for that

#

unless you want to implement some other functionality

#

but in the most basic sense, all you'd need for the curve's data is an array for the points and tangents

solemn meteor Feb 3, 2021, 4:22 PM

I'm working on a custom editor window and I need to reference a game assembly. I've added an assembly reference by selecting the Editor -> Analyzers node in the Solution Explorer and via the Project -> Add Reference menu (in VS 2019). I've also ensured the project that the assembly is tied to is marked as dependency in Visual Studio. Whenever I open the Unity Editor though, I get the following error in my project: The type or namespace name 'PathSystem' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) any idea what might be going on?

long pebble Feb 3, 2021, 5:37 PM

patent pebble if all you want is modify the curves in the scene view by dragging points around...

Well, how do I add that functionality to my curve? That's what I'm looking for. And I'm aware all I need is an array of points. I have that, but that's a terrible user interface. I want to be able to edit it visually for the same reason I use the transform widget to move game objects around instead of mucking with the coordinates all the time

patent pebble Feb 3, 2021, 5:40 PM

#

@long pebble that's exactly why I asked if you really need to make a custom editor for it...

#

if all you need is to edit them on the Scene view you can do that with Handles, for example

#

Does anybody know how can I get a list of all my custom global EditorTools that I've added to the scene tools?

the Tools and EditorTools classes don't seem to have that info accessible

instead of making a separate custom editor for each class

I might just have to change my approach. I wanted the curve to just be a data type you could declare in a monobehaviour and the correct controls would always be there, but if I need any other scripts needs a curve I might just have it reference the game object with the curve script on it.

severe python Is there a supported way to stabilize guids generated for an asset?

I am pretty sure asset guids are stable. Aren't they?

severe python Feb 3, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

I don't know in general, I know dlls appear to get a random guid though

#

its been a constant thorn in my side

#

its possible there is something I'm doing that causes it to be a problem

#

some part of me feels like there must be

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 6:37 AM

#

They're not stable

#

Or not deterministic is probably the better word

#

I replace guids for assets that I want to have deterministic guids generated based on path

Anyone know if it is possible to access the Game Window and force a specific display? (Editor only)

📎 unknown.png

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 9:41 AM

#

Probably if you get the editorwindow and then use either reflection or serializedobjects to change it

nova fox Feb 4, 2021, 10:22 AM

#

Solved it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction 🙏

private void ChangeDisplay(int index)
{
    var assembly = typeof(UnityEditor.EditorWindow).Assembly;
    var type = assembly.GetType("UnityEditor.PlayModeView");
    var window = EditorWindow.GetWindow(type);

    var displayField = type.GetField("m_TargetDisplay", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

    displayField.SetValue(window, index);
}

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

You can also use Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll to find all windows

#

GetWindow actually opens the window so that might not be what you want

nova fox Feb 4, 2021, 10:29 AM

#

Oh. I did not know you can access windows from Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll. Opening the window is good enough for my use case.

How does OnValidate work in EditorWindows? Does it only get called when the script is loaded?

#

This function is called when the script is loaded or a value is changed in the Inspector
Since EditorWindows don't interact with the inspector, I guess the second part doesn't apply in this case

#

can anyone confirm?

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

I don't think there's OnValidate in editorwindows?

patent pebble Feb 4, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScriptableObject.OnValidate.html

#

and I'm able to access it on my EditorWindow scripts, it only seems to be called when the scripts are loaded

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 11:50 AM

#

Ah

#

Probably when you change a serializedproperty on the editorwindow

#

E.g. make a serializedobject of your window, change aproperty and apply and it'll probably fire

visual stag properties are not serializable

Is there any way to serialize a private field and find the property relative?

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

Yes?

carmine furnace Feb 4, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

I can with [SerializeReference], but I'm seeing if it's possible to make a nameof()

#

var sceneName = property.FindPropertyRelative(nameof(SceneBuild.Name));

#

SceneBuild.Name is the property, but I guess I cant fight against level protection XD

#

I know with properties don't work, it just that I have wrote that right now

civic river Feb 4, 2021, 6:20 PM

#

@carmine furnace So this is a property within a property?

#

If I'm understanding you right you could use a recursive property finder or something to do this

carmine furnace Feb 4, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

I'm going to paste again the script and the property drawer to better understand

#

using System;
using UnityEngine;

[Serializable]
public class SceneBuild
{
    [SerializeReference] private string name;

    public string Name { get => name; set => name = value; }

    public SceneBuild(string name)
    {
        Name = name;
    }
}```

#

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(SceneBuild))]
public class SceneBuildDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
    public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label)
    {
        var elements = SceneTools.GetAllScenesInBuild();
        var sceneName = property.FindPropertyRelative("name");

        if (elements != null && elements.Count != 0)
        {
            var selectedIndex = Mathf.Max(elements.IndexOf(sceneName.stringValue), 0);
            selectedIndex = EditorGUI.Popup(position, property.name, selectedIndex, elements.ToArray());
            sceneName.stringValue = elements[selectedIndex];
        }
        else EditorGUI.LabelField(position, "No Scenes in build");
    }
}

#

This is an example ```csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

[AddComponentMenu("abutoolkit/Scenes/Scene Listener")]
public class SceneListener : MonoBehaviour, ISerializationCallbackReceiver
{
public static List<string> scenesInBuild;
[SerializeField] LoadSceneMode sceneMode;

[SerializeField] protected SceneBuild scene;

public void OnAfterDeserialize() { }

public void OnBeforeSerialize() => scenesInBuild = SceneTools.GetAllScenesInBuild();

public void LoadScene() => SceneManager.LoadScene(scene.Name, sceneMode);

public void LoadSceneAsync() => SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(scene.Name, sceneMode);

public void UnloadScene() => SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync(scene.Name);

}```

#

It makes a enum of current scenes in build

#

and the result of a SceneBuild is a string

#

That works, but I don't know if I can do a nameof, instead hardcode the "name" string value

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

Why serializereference

#

And you can't replace it with nameof since it's not public

#

Or internal

carmine furnace Feb 4, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

Because private fields, and SerializeField return a NullReferenceException:

#

But internal...let me check out

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 6:31 PM

carmine furnace Feb 4, 2021, 6:33 PM

waxen sandal I replace guids for assets that I want to have deterministic guids generated bas...

In my case I generate Guids for assemblies by computing their filename into a stable hash, its not a perfect solution but I think it fulfills my requirements

#

However the issue I was trying to solve specifically was modifying m_script references to refer to the DLL rather than the script asset, which I think I have a path forward on, which amounts to replacing the assets m_script reference before building out a UnityPackage, build the package, and then revert the reference after the build

#

it still uses the code I use to hash for the dll, but I think in my use case that will be fine

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

Oh yeah I do something similar somewhere else

severe python Feb 4, 2021, 7:56 PM

with remapping the script references? is that the basic workflow you use, and it works out?

#

I haven't had a chance to actually finish putting it together, would be nice to know if i'm basically on the right track

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

@severe python yeah it works, we do it to generate asset bundle variants which are based on other bundles for things like small config changes

#

@whole steppe raycasts

#

@severe python we just copy the file and check whether it had references to the old bundle and if so we look up the guid for the new copied file

severe python Feb 4, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

when you say bundles do you mean asset bundles or Asset Packages e.g. *.unityPackage ?

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 8:12 PM

We do for asset bundles but it shouldn't be any different for packages

severe python Feb 4, 2021, 8:15 PM

Do you have to refresh the asset database after modifying the files, thats one thing I wasn't sure about

waxen sandal Feb 4, 2021, 8:16 PM

How come? What about AsmDef?

severe python Feb 4, 2021, 8:37 PM

#

So Preface, this stuff is hacky. However, in order for you to mod a game you need to have all its required assemblies in the unity project, I pull those in as a Unity Package and create a package.json for it.
Most games end up having a Assembly-CSharp.dll and if the game includes one you need to overwrite the Assembly-CSharp.dll in the ProjectRoot/Libraries/ScriptAssemblies folder in order for its scripts to function inside unity

#

Due to this, you can't pack your mod scripts into an Assembly-CSharp, and the only way to change that that I'm aware of is to use an AssemblyDefinition, which as I understand it, is an AsmDef?

#

So I don't know if its even possible to support a version of unity that doesn't include the ability to define your assemblies explicitly

Cecil is the way to go for automatic (That's what Unity uses, and also I use for NG Unity Versioner)

I'd do discovery in dnspy first probably

I'm running into an issue with multi editing on a custom inspector, I have what feels like a fairly hacky solution in place as is and im not sure if thats whats causing the problems or if its something to do with the property drawer im using for Textures? I'm using the serializedObject and property methods which according to what few resources I've found, should handle the editing of multiple objects at once but, alas, nothing. Anyone got anything I could look into?

#

Just as a note since the object im working with is a scriptable object that I need to be able to edit both when selected and when applied to a monobehaviour I have a custom editor aswell for the monobehaviour which instantiates an editor instance of the scriptableobject inside of it

Prefabs or using serialization & scriptableobjects?

yeah I didn't mean they used the prefabs for holding and saving the data. I mean for using it at runtime

#

so I was just thinking that instead of having for example prefabs for different enemies with different components and such. Why not just use serialized data to construct enemy variants

onyx harness Feb 5, 2021, 3:55 PM

#

patent pebble like items, enemies, etc, that sort of thing

You need to differentiate between what you really want. Holding pure data, go for SO, if you need it through a GO, go prefab

patent pebble Feb 5, 2021, 3:55 PM

I don't know if I'm explaining my thoughts correctly

Yes you can, going through factory is a way to go, more heavy/cumbersome

gloomy chasm Feb 5, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

patent pebble like items, enemies, etc, that sort of thing

I personally have ScriptableObjects for items that store all the info for given item (name, price, UI icon, etc), since I need that info for inventories, and a prefab of the item when it is in world which is basically just a mesh renderer or two and maybe some collision stuff.
Enemies and other agents I normally just have as prefabs since I don't need info about them normally until after they spawn. Sometimes I will and so I will make a SO with any data about them I need.

onyx harness Feb 5, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

patent pebble I don't know if I'm explaining my thoughts correctly

I think somehow you are referencing MVC pattern

#

Where you will want to separate the stuff

patent pebble Feb 5, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

probably, yeah. I'm not very experienced with architectural patterns

#

i don't know, I feel like using prefabs would only be useful for cases where the instanced data needs to have slight variations from the original

#

but I'd rather just keep everything serialized and construct my game entities by using the needed data

#

maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like prefabs are mostly useless for me 😅

#

I'm reading around the forums and I think this sums what I was trying to say well:

Now you want to create a variation of the same enemy with same everything, but different stats.

You could have a prefab for each variation, sure. Now later you decide to rework how the prefab is structured, you want to change hierarchy, add scripts, colliders, many internal changes. That would mean that to maintain that enemy you would have to manually process each variation and manually make changes to hierarchy etc, this is very time consuming and error prone.
Now instead of storing variations as prefabs you can have a single prefab for the enemy, and pull the variations from scriptable objects.

Lets say scriptables only contain fields like - health, armor, speed...
You instantiate your enemy, and you inject the scriptable object in it, and enemy uses the scriptable object fields as his own.

This way you have a single prefab that is easy to maintain and data that is agnostic of the type of object you want to inject it in.```

#

@gloomy chasm I feel like that's mostly what you said, right?

gloomy chasm Feb 5, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

patent pebble I'm reading around the forums and I think this sums what I was trying to say wel...

It sounds like maybe that was written before prefab variants, because they fix that problem. However, I do think that is a perfectly fine way to do it!

patent pebble Feb 5, 2021, 4:21 PM

#

yeah i think it was written before prefab variants were a thing

#

I still feel like it's better to abstract the data as much as possible from the prefabs. I feel like making design tools for simple data is more straight-forward than having to deal with it on prefabs and whatnot

#

this whole discussion is probably very obvious for most people. But my experience with architectural patterns and things like that is not very strong, heh 😅

You're not alone, I have months without a prefab folder in my projects XD

patent pebble Feb 5, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

I mean, I still use them, but mostly for simple things that won't change throughout the development and don't use tons of data

#

i use prefabs a lot for static things, like environmental props and backgrounds and things the player doesn't interact with

carmine furnace Feb 5, 2021, 4:29 PM

#

Me too, maybe bullets and something more without game data

#

I like the idea of have a script that has a reference to prefab and a SO for setting it (something like a factory of turrets for example)

I feel it too

patent pebble Feb 5, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

onyx harness I feel it too

Sometimes I see Unity pushing so heavily on the "official" way of doing things, that it feels like if I do something differently I'm doing it "wrong"
Maybe they shove prefabs on our faces because they are a good tool for simple things and user-friendly for beginner Unity users.

#

I feel they've been telling people to use prefabs a lot, specially since the new prefab system rework

#

they are great for prototyping, and for quick level design tho

civic river Feb 5, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

Variants have been great in my experience for what was an otherwise unusable system yeah. It's still quite a specific use case but has application now

#

My guess is unity pushes prefabs because they're easy to understand and relatively user friendly for beginners, other options maybe not so much

#

SO still comprise like 95% of what I'm doing in unity engine it feels like xD

onyx harness Feb 5, 2021, 7:00 PM

The first rule of Unity is to never listen to them :)

Listen to the feedback, way more reliable

patent pebble Feb 5, 2021, 7:02 PM

yeah, whenever I'm learning a new Unity feature, or topic, my go to is googling
"should i use X"
"how to use X"
"pitfalls of using X"
etc

Does anybody know how can I hijack the Project Window top bar to insert a new button either on the left or the right of the search bar?

They have actually said multiple times that their plan is to do just that. They are planning on doing a complete editor UI redesign, so I assume at that point they will do it. Like, they are redoing the sceneview to be UIToolkit.

Hi guys, I'm starting to learn addressables, the end goal for the system I'm working on is to distribute it as a package.

Here's where I'm at now, I have a system that is creating assets and I'd like them to be automatically added into an addressables catalog. I'd like to add them to specific groups automagically, but to do that those groups must exist -- so I started down the barbarian path:
https://hatebin.com/tjqqkqbqvz

This looks pretty terrible, and I don't like that this might mingle with other addressable systems. Does anyone know of a way to create a package-unique addressable bundle (The system seems like I should be able to drop something like that in place, but I can't seem to find how)? That way the addressable settings for the package are already configured and I don't need weird hacks to create the groups and etc, etc.

I've been trying to use the ScriptedImporter class to create a custom asset that Unity imports as a shader. Is this possible? I can't find a way to create a shader asset anywhere (thinking of something equivalent to MonoScript asset?)

wispy delta Feb 6, 2021, 2:40 AM

#

aha I think I found it with ShaderUtil.CreateShaderAsset

wispy delta Feb 6, 2021, 3:54 AM

#

ok next question (sorry) is there a way for me to detect when a MonoScript recompiles, and add a subasset to it if it's a subclass of a certain type?

I tried a AssetPostprocessor with an OnPreprocessAsset event function that checks if the importer is a MonoImporter, but the GetScript function is always returning null

#

This where I'm at, but script is always null

private void OnPreprocessAsset()
{
    // Are we importing a script?
    if (assetImporter is MonoImporter importer)
    {
        // Is there a script?
        var script = importer.GetScript();
        if (script == null)
            return;
        // Does the script have a class?
        var type = script.GetClass();
        if (type == null)
            return;
        // Is the script a C# shader?
        if (type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(SomeSpecialClass)))
        {
            // Check if script has SomeSpecialAsset as a subasset
            // and add one if missing
        }
    }
}

is the object null or is the importer null?

Is there any way to define new templates in the Unity Hub?

#

Nevermind, I figured it out, can do it, but its not really nice and possibly not worth it

waxen sandal Feb 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

There's no built in support afaik

severe python Feb 6, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

no not really, you have to make a folder in a bunch of folders

#

Even then though, your ability to customize the template is limited, I wanted to reduce the base set of installed packages to only the things required, but that doesn't appear to be an option, its annoying having to uninstall all the Advertising and IAP crap every time I make a new project

well. for default properties it ofc works. but i want to make bunch of PropertyAttribute's that change appearance of default drawers. for example i want int to be drawed as float but scaled with some constant. and some more complex stuff. right now it seems that mimic default implementation is easiest way.

IntField and FloatField should both support that

zealous goblet Feb 6, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

lol i know. but i dont want field. i want label of that field.

#

also those fields is using some internal function "DoFloatField" and "DoIntField" as far i i know. not much ways to see how they are implemented.

#

lol. google tells me to get internal method through reflection and call it anyways. right.

civic river Feb 6, 2021, 4:48 PM

Can I get a sanity check on this one? [HideInInspector] seems to break serialization.

        [SerializeField]
        public string GUID;
        [SerializeField]
        public List<RuntimeNode> outputConnections = new List<RuntimeNode>();
        [SerializeField]
        public List<RuntimeNode> inputConnections = new List<RuntimeNode>();

I have an editor window saving this to file using the asset DB, and like this it works fine.

Contrast:

        [SerializeField, HideInInspector]
        public string GUID;
        [SerializeField, HideInInspector]
        public List<RuntimeNode> outputConnections = new List<RuntimeNode>();
        [SerializeField, HideInInspector]
        public List<RuntimeNode> inputConnections = new List<RuntimeNode>();

This writes when the asset db creates the object for the first time, but is not serializing after being set dirty as expected, and as the above script does. Can I get a sanity check, this seems like a major bug.

#

I have multiple editor scripts that i had to remove [HideInInspector] from after updating to Unity 2020.2.3f1

#

they all seem to have this issue.
