[Serializable] 
public class RelayBase : UnityEngine.Object 
{
    [HideInInspector, SerializeField] List<RelayInvoker> relay_invokers = new List<RelayInvoker>();

#

i think this is the problem

#

it doesn't want to have a default value

#

im using it like this :

[SerializeField] public RelayBase OnChange;

#

so unity should make a default object by default in the inspector as it does to all of its types , is that not so ?

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

tough cairn ```cs [Serializable] public class RelayBase : UnityEngine.Object { [HideIn...

You can't inherit from UnityEngine.Object. Anything that does requires a matching class on the C++ side.

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

without doing so it will not draw the property in inspector

onyx harness Mar 7, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

tough cairn so unity should make a default object by default in the inspector as it does to ...

Nope, because the type is deriving from Unity Object

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

if i remove Object it will not draw

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:31 PM

How are you drawing it?

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

[CustomPropertyDrawer( typeof( RelayBase ), true )]

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

tough cairn `[CustomPropertyDrawer( typeof( RelayBase ), true )]`

On what class? And what method are you using to actually draw it?

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

tough cairn ```cs [Serializable] public class RelayBase : UnityEngine.Object { [HideIn...

^

#

OnGUI to draw

#

and inside it reorderableList.DoList( rect );

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

tough cairn im using it like this : ```cs [SerializeField] public RelayBase OnChange; ```

^ this is how this class is meant to be used , similar to how UnityEvent is

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

tough cairn and inside it `reorderableList.DoList( rect );`

Yeah, there are too many things moving here for me to say what you are doing wrong. If you put it in hastebin then I could take a proper look for you if you wanted. 🙂

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

ofc , thanks

#

https://hatebin.com/wrwotbuili

#

//var target = RelayRefelction.GetActualObjectForSerializedProperty<RelayBase>( fieldInfo, property );
//reorderableList = new ReorderableList( target.relay_invokers, typeof( RelayInvoker ) );
                
if( list == null ) list = new List<RelayInvoker>();
reorderableList = new ReorderableList( list, typeof( RelayInvoker ) );

//reorderableList = new ReorderableList( property.serializedObject, invokersList );

#

so this works obv

#

but not the 1st or the 3rd one

#

its just that relay_invokers is null
#↕️┃editor-extensions message

#

from what i can tell so far

#

i need it to be auto initialized like other things in unity

#

similar to how u just make a struct public unity takes care for this for you

#

defining the class as its suggested in the unity docs won't render it

[Serializable] public class RelayBase

#

but when extending it on Unity Object it does

#

this is what it looked like yesterday

#

( top one is Relay , bottom one is UnityEvent )

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

Relay is missing [Serializable]

#

Also, please for all that is good in this world, move the property drawer to it's own file.

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

yes

#

thank you 🙂

#

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

Also, also just so you know, unity can't serialize polymorphic without the use of the [SerializeReference] attribute on the field. So if you have a [SerializeField] private BaseRelay _myRelay = new Relay();, it will just serialize as a BaseRelay not as a Relay

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

so if both have [serializable] it will ?

gloomy chasm Mar 7, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

tough cairn so if both have `[serializable]` it will ?

No, you will need to use the SerializeReference attribute instead of the SerializeField attribute. But I would do some reading on it first.
Something to note about how unity serializes data, it serializes everything that is not a UnityEngine.Object as a value (that is why when the editor or game starts, anything that is not a UnityEngine.Object already has a value and is not null).
The [SerializeReference] attribute change that, so it serializes as a reference instead of a value.

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 4:56 PM

#

i see

#

will need to do some more reading on this for sure , thanks for that

is there a way to handle style sheet differences between unity versions?

#

I'm trying to get things all together and I'm finding there are some properties that are one way in one version and another way in a newer version. I initially decided to just make multiple sheets and load different ones per version, but I get a ton of warnings even if I'm not loading the style sheet

tough cairn Mar 7, 2021, 5:27 PM

@severe python isn't it possible to wrap the styles around conditional compilation per unity version ?

you should not need to do EditorUtility.SetDirty(property.serializedObject.targetObject); btw
The editor should be applying the changes to the serializedObject

your affectors rect might just be too thin

try making it much wider

what exactly doesnt work?

patent pebble Mar 8, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

Can I use AssetDatabase.CreateAsset for my custom file types that have their own scripted importers and their own extensions?

So let's say I have this Example class and its importer, and the file has the extension .example

public class Example : ScriptableObject
{
    public string text;
    public string[] textSegments;
}

[ScriptedImporter(1, "example")]
public class ExampleImporter : ScriptedImporter
{
    public override void OnImportAsset(AssetImportContext ctx)
    {
        string json = File.ReadAllText(ctx.assetPath);
        Example example = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Example>();
        JsonUtility.FromJsonOverwrite(json, example);

        Texture2D icon = (Texture2D)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(Example.IconPath, typeof(Texture2D));
        ctx.AddObjectToAsset("example object", example, icon);
        ctx.SetMainObject(example);
    }
}

#

When i create an instance of Example doing this:

Example example = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Example>();
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(example, "Assets/SomeAsset.example");

The .example text file contents instead of being empty, they get set to this (as if I was creating a .asset file) :

%YAML 1.1
%TAG !u! tag:unity3d.com,2011:
--- !u!114 &11400000
MonoBehaviour:
  m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
  m_CorrespondingSourceObject: {fileID: 0}
  ···

#

is AssetDatabase.CreateAsset only intended for built-in types?

visual stag Mar 8, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

What on earth are you expecting it to do?

#

Yes, and ScriptableObject is a built in type. That's the expected file format of one.

#

(also, two backticks are not how to properly write single line code, it's 1 only. 2 will not display on mobile, nor in many markdown engines)

#

If you just want to write a file and import it, do that using system io and import asset

#

@patent pebble why use Json for this anyway?

patent pebble Mar 8, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

visual stag What on earth are you expecting it to do?

Nothing, I was just testing how AssetDatabase.CreateAsset behaves. Since I couldn't find the source code in the UnityCsReference github repo I figured I would ask here
I was just wondering if this Unity API could achieve similar stuff to System.IO methods

Once we learn how to easily implement this kind of solutions and extensions for the editor, we will be saving ourselves hundreds of hours of work in very boilerplaty stuff and our productivity will increase a lot 😊

IMGUI is fast ( i mean it takes less time to make something )

onyx harness Mar 8, 2021, 10:32 PM

#

And by complex, he meant very complex

severe python Mar 8, 2021, 10:32 PM

#

the iteration cycles are slow because you have to wait for compiles so it just makes anything a little more complex just take a lot more time

#

nah, I mean a little

#

I can do any fine tuning in layout in uielements with instant feedback

#

to get the same thing in imgui you have to put the necessary values into variables that yuou can edit in another editor

I want to say no, but I know I am biased, you have more XP on this matter 🦀

I really wish making and loading style sheets for both skins in UIToolkit was more straight forward than it is

severe python Mar 8, 2021, 10:37 PM

#

its a half truth admittedly, XAML is a complete object graph language with data transformation built in

#

the things you can do with XAML are truly impressive. UXML lacks data templating, but its 'easy' to add it in, however its somewhat slow considering the problemd omain

#

what do you mean vertx?

#

I think UXML comes up a little short mainly in that you actually need to write code for it

#

I don't get to use these 😦

visual stag Mar 8, 2021, 10:42 PM

#

but yeah, in IMGUI that's just all magically handled and I've barely had to make my own styling because you just steal from built-in

#

if I had a bunch of nice stylesheets prepared earlier, I think UIToolkit would be a breeze

severe python Mar 8, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

so I think you're over thinking it

#

the thing is, if you avoid coloring things and use built in styles then you get light and dark automatically

#

if you limit yourself to managing the box model and layout, without setting colors then it mostly just works out

#

if you really want to add color, what I find works really well is just using grey scale and transparencies to establish differences in coloring

visual stag Mar 8, 2021, 10:45 PM

#

yeah, it's the same go with UGUI there

    }

public class TempMonoEditor : Editor {

        if( GUILayout.Button("Test") )
            ( ( TempMono ) target ).test();
        GUILayout.Space( 20 );
        base.OnInspectorGUI( );
    }
}
#endif

#

also if u nest it u get access to private fields without reflection

severe python Mar 8, 2021, 11:58 PM

#

I mean, due to the fact that you can't use UITK without code, you can still do this and just use UITK

#

instead of building your UI in the code, you'd just bind the UIElements to your object

#

I think Unity missed an opportunity personally, Unity should have setup a convention to load and bind UXML files to Inspectors without having to write any code

#

so if you don't need to execute any custom functions you could easily just modify the look and layout using UXML and USS

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

that would be neat for none coders indeed

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

its not a hard convention to setup either

#

hell, they could just let you assign templates to asset types like they do with icons

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

what i meant above is that u can make a VS template and have a quick way of extending your component in the same file

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

and then in the custom inspector maybe they just let you query the default template and do things like assign event handlers to buttons, etc.

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

i rly like the layout classes provided by default , immediate mode is just different paradigm of UI

#

it makes much more sense as a coder

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

absolutely, and it has certain strengths, that you don't get with a retained mode UI, like virtualization is trivial with immediate mode, its just something you do

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

what's virtualization ?

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

you have to put a bit more thought into a retained mode ui's virtualization though because of the layers involved

#

Virtualization is something you do to reduce the creation/destruction of objects in order to speed up UI and make it performent

#

technically you don't even do it in immediate mode, the nature of immediate mode makes it almost irrelevant

#

but say you have a list of 1000 items and you want to display those, in retained mode if you created all those ui objects it would take up a lot of memory and potentially take a good chunk of time to setup

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

ah right

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

with virtualization you only create the ones you can see, and maybe a few extra to make sure things look nice

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

i just shift the array start and end index

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

and then you just swap the data as you scroll

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

yes

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:07 AM

#

in immediate mode its just basically automatic, you have a view range on an array and only render the values in that range

#

there are plenty of specific scenarios where one is better than the other, I just prefer that if I'm working on UI, I don't want to have to think about logic, I want to create the display I'm looking for, and add logic to it later

#

most of the time those are very disconnected concepts

#

Also, just in case anyone is curious, its entirely possible to make UXML files generated in 2019+ compatible with Unity 2018 using a few polyfill like classes

#

it was actually pretty easy

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:09 AM

#

can you show an example ?

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

of what?

#

this polyfill thing?

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

backwards compatability

#

yes

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

yeah, one sec though cause I just broke it doing another experiment

#

namespace Polyfill
{
    public class UxmlVisualElementPolyFillFactory : UxmlFactory
    {
        const string unityNamespace = "UnityEngine.UIElements";
        public override string uxmlQualifiedName => unityNamespace + "." + uxmlName;
        public override string substituteForTypeName => nameof(VisualElement);
        public override string substituteForTypeNamespace => unityNamespace;
        public override string substituteForTypeQualifiedName => unityNamespace + nameof(VisualElement);
    }
}

edit: turns out you need less than I thought

#

just to be clear, what this isn't is a complete feature support back into 2018

#

it just makes the uxml files work because of the namespace mismatch, so you still have to deal with other incompatibilties

#

but this is great, because this more or less means I can work on my UI in 2020.2 and then just throw it into my 2018 project

tough cairn Mar 9, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

2018 had uielements as well ?

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 12:20 AM

It makes it so the visual element tag in uxm is properly parsed by the uxml system even though in unity 2018 uielements is in a ifferent namespace

#

That way I can use ui builder in 2020 and use the output uxml file in 2018

#

That specific chunk only works for visualelement

#

This is the whole thing

#

Obviously not a complete solution, you can't actually backport all the features

#

But it will let the uxml templates work overall, giving you access to ui builder

#

I'm only using this for writing integrated documentation so it doesn't matter

#

But uxmlfactoriea are super useful it turns out

Sorry about that.. apparently the phone is aweful for this stuff

onyx harness Mar 9, 2021, 1:59 PM

severe python Mar 9, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

well, only if you need to have some stuff working in 2018, uxml files are only the tip of the iceberg with incompatibilities, EditorWindows don't have rootVisualElement, they have internal rootVisualContainer, so you have to deal with that (I made a base class that maps)

#

I use reflection for that, though I should really just call GetRootVisualElement...

#

That polyfill was very informative though, it has totally changed how I look at UXML

My man!

What if I have children that have colliders set to it. And on the parent I have a list of those certain children. You know how the collider has that "Edit Collider Mode" button. Is there a way I can make a button on the parent list where I can click it and it will go into "Edit Collider Mode" for that particular child?

Or even better if it sets that mode for all those children at once? Or only way is to click the child in hierarchy and do it manually?

quaint zephyr Mar 9, 2021, 8:23 PM

#

onyx harness `GUI.FocusControl(null)`

Btw, I tried to actually set a focus control, and it works partially. It highlights the control, but doesn't respond to keys pressed until I actually click on it.
This is how I did it:

GUI.SetNextControlName("myField");
_name = EGL.TextField("Name:", _name);
GUI.FocusControl("myField"); // this only highlights the control, but no blinking cursor
EditorGUIUtility.editingTextField = true; // this shows the blinking cursor in that control
// but no keyboard response until I click on it manually

#

Seems only way to make it work without mouse is when focus control is set, you hit TAB twice and it works. 😛

Normally you would put EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck() at the start of drawing your controls. And then a If (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) { } after the last control. And put the applyProperties call in the if statement.

By emit you mean Emit or just converting node to C#?

I wanted to implement this btw

Since I guess you are doing runtime over internal stuff, Emit works well for Unity Editor

I really don't know about this could you point to a resource?

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 11:43 AM

#

This is a hard path as I stated earlier

#

You need to understand IL (assembly-like stuff)

#

This is not a way I would suggest if you are not aware of those things

#

https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/dotnet/api/system.reflection.emit.ilgenerator.emit?view=net-5.0

whole steppe Mar 10, 2021, 11:44 AM

#

So if not this then are there any ways to implement reflection in a optimized manner?

#

Right now it takes 2ms just for an assembly with two classes, to find fields with a attribute

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 11:46 AM

#

Is it any assembly?

#

Have you tried TypeCache?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TypeCache.html

whole steppe Mar 10, 2021, 11:46 AM

#

Just two c# classes in an assembly using assembly definition

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

If you don't want to use TypeCache you can optimize somehow by narrowing the search to just look up Unity assemblies

#

If you are looking for fields with an Attribute that is YOURS

Oh yeah I forgot about this

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

You can narrow down the search to only assemblies referencing your code

#

Probably put down 2ms to <1ms

#

Except if your assemblies are huge

waxen sandal Mar 10, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

Which is probably the case since Unity

whole steppe Mar 10, 2021, 11:50 AM

#

Just out of curiosity what does unity events use?

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 11:56 AM

#

Simple C# delegate

waxen sandal Mar 10, 2021, 11:57 AM

#

It uses reflection to create a C# delegate

rigid abyss Mar 10, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

I hate to be a bother but does anyone know the proper way to access functions from a C++ dll plugin? I see a lot of tutorials saying to use 'extern "C"' instead of just 'extern' but it doesn't seem to be an option for the plugin I am trying to import.

gloomy chasm Mar 10, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

whole steppe Are there any alternatives to c# reflection like a library with faster access, l...

Just because I didn't see anyone mention it. If you want to call methods via reflection, you can use Expressions once you have gotten the method to make invocation be close to simply calling a method normally.
I believe the same is true for accessing fields and properties.

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

Can you elaborate?

gloomy chasm Mar 10, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

Here is a really good blog about Expressions. It is long, but pretty thoroughly explains how to use Expression https://tyrrrz.me/blog/expression-trees
But basically, you create an expression for the method info with Expression.Call(instance, methodInfo). Then create a lambda expression for it and compile it in to a delegate.

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 2:45 PM

#

Oh yeah, similar to emiting IL

gloomy chasm Mar 10, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

Yep, expressions are pretty cool! iirc the VFX Graph uses them for their nodes.

waxen sandal Mar 10, 2021, 3:50 PM

#

Generating those is quite expensive though

#

IIRC you can call it through reflection multiple times before it pays off

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

Usually, if you start going toward IL, it means you need performance, implying more than "few" calls

waxen sandal Mar 10, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

Sure but it's not a fair comparison 😛

onyx harness Mar 10, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

waxen sandal Sure but it's not a fair comparison 😛

I don't see where generating is expensive.
I had a case in NG Console, where the initialization of 50k logs after domain reload took roughly 0.9s.
I converted the Reflection part (6 GetValue()) to native using Emit and it went down to 3ms.
I was pretty amazed by the result and it was a good reminder of the cost of Reflection.

onyx harness Dunno, if Selection moves it, then you are screwed

Just if you were interested I hacked it with a bit of reflection!
I get all the project windows, cache their lock state, lock them, set the selection, then revert the lock state of all of the windows.
It works great!

ancient sable Mar 10, 2021, 8:55 PM

I have my own timeline editor tool that now handles audio but not being able to sample more than one at a time is a huge problem.

This bit of code looked promising

System.Media.SoundPlayer myPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer()
myPlayer.SoundLocation =PathToWAVFile
myPlayer.Play();

However even called from a new thread will still end the currently playing clip.

trying to work with assembly definitions. i want a root script/asm eg. namespace Root, and then branched into other folders/asm eg. Root.A Root.B. but how do access using Root.(class) in my branches? doesnt seem to find them

#

i set the branch assembly references to my root asm, but the code in it doesnt come up

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

In my editorWindow, each time i save the code, some of the variables get reset, such as bool values etc, is there a way that I can stop these being reset each time i make a change to the code?

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

Save them.

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

isn't there an easier way

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

lol

#

Make them public

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

that doesn't work

#

public class MyEditor : EditorWindow
{
    #region Instance Variables
    public static bool showModelGizmos = true;
    public static bool showAvatarGizmos = true;```

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

You can't persist static fields.

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:36 PM

#

so, could I have a non-static public field and assign that to the static perhaps, would that work?

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:37 PM

#

Yes

#

Weird design, but it works

#

Just remember to assign back the value when changing the static field.

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

thank you

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

(Which makes the static senseless)

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:39 PM

#

the statics are only there because i'm drawing gizmo's which is a static fn

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:43 PM

#

If it works, it works

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

i got fed up of resetting lots of settings each time i build

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

Still

#

Do you use those static fields in MyEditor?

#

How come the gizmos does not know MyEditor?

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

this is my gizmo fncs [DrawGizmo(GizmoType.NotInSelectionHierarchy | GizmoType.Active | GizmoType.Selected)] static void DrawGizmos(DrawMetaBones scr, GizmoType gizmoType) {

#

the editor basically adds an empty component to the target model, so DrawMetaBones is basically an empty class, so that I can draw the gizmos

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 1:54 PM

#

onyx harness Do you use those static fields in MyEditor?

What about this?

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 1:55 PM

#

i wasn't sure if there was a better way, but it worked that way. i also have to add the component. i can put the draw gizmo's in the DrawMetaBones script if necessary

#

it's an editor for use with the avatar config, so when that's opened, there is no component on the model, so i have to add it manually

I am currently having problems aligning an EditorGUI.Toggle() ui element in my unity editors:

#

it's for use within the Avatar config, I drop an asset into an field within the editor, this searches the scene for the appropriate Transform, in the case of the Avatar config, this would be something like Bot(Clone),. the editor then looks at bones from the model and also the avatar meta file, it then adds a component onto the transform so that it can then draw gizmo's onto the Bot(Clone) transform.

fickle copper Mar 13, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

onyx harness Do that, and come back

I have tried several offsets, all with no desireable results.

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

in a regular scene, i could just add a component and it would remain on the Transform, but as it's in the Avatar config, i have to dynamically add the component, which gets removed when the Avatar config is exited.

fickle copper Mar 13, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

certain offsets work, but only for one size of the current editor ui scale.

#

the second i move or rescale the window, it just breaks

#

We can discuss this later as this avatar config editor sounds more interesting.

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

The editor is for saving Avatar configuration poses, so that when I edit a pose within the AvConfig, I can move a joint and if it's wrong, I can reload a pose without losing other changes I made that are good.

I got really pissed off with changing a joint and unable to revert back to a previous pose when trying to make retargetting of characters fit better with the animation

If I understand correctly, your Editor adds a Gizmo Component on the fly.
Then your Gizmo Component SHOULD know about the variables from Editor, as it looks to be "global"?
But without using static. Simply by injecting the Editor into the Component. Maybe using an interface for that.

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

ie, when i retarget a different character to an animation, the retarget character's head is looking into the ground, so moving the head in the retarget model is required to make it look right, but then when I do an arm and screw that up, there's no way to revert that change to it's original without losing everything that I've already done

#

that's correct

onyx harness Mar 13, 2021, 2:33 PM

the interface i shown above, isn't really injection at all, just an interface, i don't really need the interface in that example

Your EditorWindow is creating the MB right?

snow bone Mar 13, 2021, 3:20 PM

i was debugging a send to printer function, this was the first call to send something to be printed, I spent nearly 1/2 a working day looking for the code and eventually gave up, I asked one of the senior devs and he answered alomost immediately. the name was completely misleading, not even remotely connected to printing something.

Ok, so to go into more detail I have a simple editor script that changes several variables in the script. Those variables are also keyframed, and if I select each of those values I can manually add the new values as keyframes- but it is a very tedious and finnicky process.

Ideally, either the script would register as a change for the animation window recording to save(ideal) or the script would be able to tell what animation is currently being edited and keyframe the new values to that animation directly.

#

I am completely open to being told that there is a much better solution I am unaware of 😄

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:17 AM

#

Would Selection.ActiveObject return the right animation?

#

You can use assetpostprocessors to check when the animation controller is being saved

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:17 AM

#

the animation window can be locked, but if that's not relevant, that can work

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:18 AM

#

Oh right, there's an internal method on the inspectorwindow that returns the right object if it's locked iirc

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:18 AM

#

Navi- it isn't being saved; that's the problem. Going back to the animation window, scrubbing the timeline, etc lose any script-entered data

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:19 AM

#

I'm a little confused by what exactly is going on, you're changing values via an editor, and then you want to keyframe them into an animation?

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:19 AM

#

https://i.imgur.com/yH2ev7Q.mp4 is what I'm working on. It is a direct vertex animator in the scene view.

Imgur

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:20 AM

#

If it's not saving then you probably need to use serializedobjects or record it with Undo

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:20 AM

#

But when setting the values via script, the animation window isn't registering the values as having changed and can't 'see' the script-edited values at all unless I manually click on the vaiable in the inspector and then hit enter to save it.

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:21 AM

#

You should show some code

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:22 AM

#

Ok. Bear in mind that it is very ugly temp code.

#

All I'm doing is ```public void registerQuad(){

p0 = vertices[0];
p1 = vertices[1];
p2 = vertices[2];
p3 = vertices[3];
    
}```

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:22 AM

#

I've probably seen worse from people that were totally serious about it

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:22 AM

#

What it is doing is reading the vertices from a quad to four variables.

#

(An annoying workaround because you cannot access array values via animator.)

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

What's p0?

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

I'm confused, where's the value you're animating?

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

Need more context here but it's likely that register things with Undo

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

the four variables are just regular Vector3

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

are you just animating these p values?

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

Yes.

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

if so, you'll have to record them with Undo.RecordObject, or SerializedObject functions

#

otherwise they're not dirtied

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

Ok, I'll look into that.

#

Is one more suitable than the other?

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:25 AM

#

by the looks of it, Undo will be easier for your situation

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:25 AM

#

If they're not recorded with Undo or SerializedObject then they're not serialized (aka saved) to the actual backing file

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:25 AM

#

well, Unity just doesn't know they've changed

#

they're not written until later

#

when the actual save occurs

waxen sandal Mar 15, 2021, 7:25 AM

#

True but getting into when it's actually saved gets more confusing

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:26 AM

#

Though, I'm not exactly sure what happens with the files in the Library, I've never really gone into knowing when they're written

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:26 AM

While on the subject, I wasn't able to get any real ideas aside from 'just make a variable for each entry in the array' for how to access array values from an animation. Don't suppose either of you do have a better suggestion for doing that?

#

Editor scripting refs I've looked into seem to not reference the built in animation tools much

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:28 AM

#

I'm also not sure what that means exactly, values in arrays are the same as others

#

their property paths are just a bit fiddly

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:29 AM

#

Yes, except that the animation window won't let you animate them. Or if it does, it is too obscure for me to find how.

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:29 AM

#

I can't remember, but I'm sure it's the same as usual

#

I'll take a look

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:30 AM

#

If you could figure that out It would make this whole process a LOT easier

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

oh weird, you can't

#

I swear I've done this before 🤔

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

Right? Super weird.

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

maybe I've just done it via editor scripting

halcyon pine Mar 15, 2021, 7:32 AM

#

That is why I did the workaround with having a variable for each array value. Which is obviously not ideal for SO MANY reasons.

#

For larger meshes I am considering spawning a child gameobject for each vertex and just using them to store keyframes. But that seems unnecessary and messy.

#

Also, once it is doing that I almost feel like I might as well just use a skinned sprite renderer and put a bone on each vertex >.>

visual stag Mar 15, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

how do you get the animation window to manually edit a property again

#

I swear I've clicked it in every fathomable way

#

either way, I tried by code, and all though Unity knows the properties are targetted via the inspector

#

#

the animator doesn't

#

and they're ultimately not animated

#

looking at some of the things I've animated in the past doesn't make me feel confident animating arrays is a thing haha

#

Ok so i have the DungeonGenerator script

#

Its attached to a game object

#

Then i have a DungeonGeneratorEditor script

#

That gives me a nice GUI to interact with

#

#

ive gotten the varables and fields to work fine

#

but for example on the top you can see 4 tabs

#

i have a int varable that stores the current tab your on

#

from 0 - 3

#

if i store that varable inside of the DungeonGeneratorEditor script the value gets reset when i deselect and reselect it

#

And i dont want to store that value on the DungeonGenerator target script because that feels clunky

waxen sandal Mar 16, 2021, 11:38 AM

#

I don't remember but if you serialize the int on your Editor, does that work?

indigo epoch Mar 16, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

Nope

onyx harness Mar 16, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

Editor is not persistent. You can't do that

indigo epoch Mar 16, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

onyx harness Mar 16, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

You must use EditorPrefs

waxen sandal Mar 16, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

Yeah I thought so

#

EditorPrefs or SessionState

indigo epoch Mar 16, 2021, 11:43 AM

#

Intresting

#

Ill try that

waxen sandal Mar 16, 2021, 11:43 AM

#

Keep in mind when using editorPrefs, it's cross project

#

Aka all editor instances no matter what project

indigo epoch Mar 16, 2021, 11:44 AM

#

Nah thats fine ill just prefex it with DungeonEditor_

#

so like this?

#

                int SettingsToolBarInt = EditorPrefs.GetInt("DungeonEditor_SettingsToolBarInt");
                SettingsToolBarInt = GUILayout.Toolbar(SettingsToolBarInt, new string[] { "General", "Dungeon", "Layer", "Room" });
                EditorPrefs.SetInt("DungeonEditor_SettingsToolBarInt",SettingsToolBarInt);

waxen sandal Mar 16, 2021, 11:46 AM

#

Might want to prefix something with the instance as well since otherwise all of them will be expanded

#

Assuming you'll have multiple

#

And I'd probably load/save in OnEnable/OnDestroy

Hi 🙂 I hope this is the correct place to ask this! I have a quick question about custom Unity Windows. Is there a built in way to create something like the side menu in the Preferences window? For reference:

#

onyx harness Mar 16, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

Nothing I know of

solid pollen Mar 16, 2021, 4:21 PM

#

That's what I thought, I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything. It's a tricky thing to google search though 😛 I guess I'll keep using Selection Grid

onyx harness Mar 16, 2021, 4:21 PM

#

Just get look at the source code, it's nothing furious

solid pollen Mar 16, 2021, 4:22 PM

#

Yeah, I will do so when the time allows, I'm a bit pressured on time, so Selection Grid will do for now. Thanks for the help!

onyx harness Mar 16, 2021, 4:23 PM

#

Simply put, it is just 1 horizontal and 2 scroll views

you can just add a Settings provider..? https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/SettingsProvider.html

That would be the way you did it for a few version, I want to mention though, my implementation appears to fail in 2020.2

Looks like he wants something custom for himself

solid pollen Mar 16, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

I don't want to add my stuff to the Preferences window though, I'm creating my own

severe python Mar 16, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

Oh well I just made something with a very similar layout using ui elements

#

Its pretty easy to put together, but you'd need to figure out how you want to aggregate different sections and populate them

This is what that looks like

solid pollen Mar 16, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

Thank you! I will bookmark these and have a look at a later date, and try to update the Editor. Currently I'm using a Selection Grid with one column to do something similar and it works great, but not as visually appealing

severe python Mar 16, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

With uxml and uss you can rapidly iterate on the look to make minor tweaks pretty quickly so once you get the layout setup you can pretty easily tweak it till you like it

solid pollen Mar 16, 2021, 4:36 PM

#

Nice, I have limited (read: nearly none) experience with UIElements, still using the old stuff. That's something I really wanna dive into when I have the time.

severe python Mar 16, 2021, 4:36 PM

#

My solution isnt complete yet, I haven't implemented search just yet

#

Its worth learning, it really enhances separation of concerns once you understand how to use it right

#

Which admittedly can be hard, I felt like I knew better how to use it than I did because of my xaml experience but there are important fundamental differences

solid pollen Mar 16, 2021, 4:40 PM

I also have a bit of xaml experience, but probably not nearly enough 😛

OnEnable is called when entering play mode. From there you can call Reset. Also, I am almost 100% sure that Reset has never been called during enter/exit play mode because it's purpose is to reset the values to default, and so you would lose the values you entered in the inspector.
