I forgot that was part of serializedproperty

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 3:49 PM

#

No, I just used var to make it shorter.
internally EditorGUILayout.PropertyField basically just does

if (property.type == PropertyType.Bool)
  property.boolValue = EditorGUILayout.Toggle(property.displayName, property.boolValue);

(This is pseudo code, and isn't exactly what it does, but I think it should give you a better idea of what is happening)

serene spear May 22, 2021, 3:49 PM

#

oh nice

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

It does more than that, like makes sure that Unity treats the field properly when working with prefabs. So it is best to just use PropertyField unless you know what you are doing or need it to display differenty.

serene spear May 22, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

if I were to then put it in an if statement, can I just call the value directly, or do I need to just do boolvalue too

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

serene spear if I were to then put it in an if statement, can I just call the value directly,...

use boolValue.

#

You almost never want to use both serializedProperties and direct access.

serene spear May 22, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

ok I'll keep that in mind

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

The reason is that SerializedProperties manipulates the object data on the C++ side, while accessing directly manipulates the data on the C# side. So you can get unexpected values if you use both.

Hi, i'm trying to follow Sebastian Lague's tutorial on bezier curve and implementing it in EditorWindow (not scene view) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_RHttAaRCk),

I have a problem using handles. apparently i can't use handles on editorwindow because it needed a camera, how do i resolve this ?

You should attach a debugger and see what's null

I am working on ScriptableObject Variants, and have the basics working really nicely (with almost no reflection too!).
I was thinking of how to handle Undo, right now I am storing the variant data with AssetImporter.GetAtPath(path).userData, but that of course does not support undo. I can handle it, but it would be rather messy.

The other options I thought of are to store the variant data in hidden sub-assets on each SO, or to have a single file that contains the variant data for all SOs.
Thoughts?

You're having the issue where undoing the parent doesn't undo the children right?

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 8:51 PM

#

civic river You're having the issue where undoing the parent doesn't undo the children right...

No, the problem is that if I change the override state of a property, and then undo. It will still think that it is overridden.
(Well I have not tested undoing children, but I am using SerializedObjects, so I don't see it being a problem, I can just group the undos)

civic river May 22, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

I had an issue where grouped undos did not cross contexts but I'm not sure if it was only my specific case or what

#

so it would only undo 1 object at a time regardless of how many undo's were on the stack

#

even if you crushed the groups together

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

My thinking was that if I had the variant data stored in an asset (thus a UnityEngine.Object) it would be trivial to support Undo. But both ways I mentioned are a bit, ehh.

Not sure if this should be here or in #💻┃code-beginner, but I'm curious if it's possible to write a script that lets me do custom inputs for navigating the scene view

civic river May 22, 2021, 8:57 PM

#

gloomy chasm Just tested and undo/redo works fine for applying it to the children.

Sweet, so the issue you have currently is because the undo state has a different override it's using instead of the current one?

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

civic river Sweet, so the issue you have currently is because the undo state has a different...

The issue I am having is override states are not stored as part of the ScriptableObject, so are 100% ignored by the undo system (they are not recorded).

#

So if I change a property in a child and make it overridden, but then undo. It will still show that it is overridden.

civic river May 22, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

ahh yeah I see

#

that's a tough one, I don't think you can even interact with the undo object in a meaningful way

#

you could set up an undo listener that fixes the object after it's been undone

#

but that's obviously pretty gnarly

#

Undo.undoRedoPerformed += ...

gloomy chasm May 22, 2021, 9:09 PM

civic river that's a tough one, I don't think you can even interact with the undo object in ...

Yeah I wasn't thinking of doing that. I was thinking that if I stored the variant data in an Unity Object of some type (maybe just a text file), then I could group it's undo with the object's undo. However that requires either making one large file for all the variant data, or a file for each ScriptableObject's variant data.

You probably want to use the EditorTool class
https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorTools.EditorTool.html
And you can use the SceneVIew.duringSceneGUI delegate to get get the scene and you can get the camera from that.

#

You would use the EditorTool if you want to make a tool like the transform tools (Move, scale, rotate).
If not, you can just use the [InitializeOnLoad] attribute to add a listener to the SceneView.duringSceneGUI event, and handle the movement with that.

Instead of having to do it all manually

Because it was asked 3 years ago but on the docs is says it's still not there yet.

Yeah.. that is exactly what I am doing 😛
I am doing a check to see if any fields of an SO are different than the SO it inherits from, and if so I am adding those fields to a list which I then store in the AssetImporter.userData. And then I need to save those changes. It works great but the problem is if the user is dragging a field, the field will lose focus and it messes up the hot controls.

waxen sandal May 23, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

Going to need some more context here

gloomy chasm May 23, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

waxen sandal Going to need some more context here

Right, sorry. So I am making ScriptableObject variants. I store SerializedObject paths for all of the properties that have been overridden, the GUIDs of all of the variants of the SO, and it's parent GUID if it has one. They are all stored in AssetImporter.GetAtPath(path).userData.
I have hooked in to a unity callback for every time a object property changes. I iterate over all of the properties in the object that changed and see if any are different than it's parent. If so I add them to the data stored in the userData. I then save the importer.

#

if (RegisterOverriddenProperties(targetSerializedObject, data, archetypeSerializedObject))
{
  Undo.RegisterImporterUndo(path, "Changed Override States");

  var importer = AssetImporter.GetAtPath(path);
  EditorUtility.SetDirty(importer);
  ArchetypeUtility.SetArchetypeData(path, data);
  importer.SaveAndReimport();
}
// Then here I iterate over all of the properties again and apply each to the variants of the SO assuming that the variant does not override it.

#

The problem is that the change callback is invoke every time that a SerializedObject has ApplyModifiedProperties() called (and it actually has things to apply)

waxen sandal May 23, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

So when someone drags a field then it'll try to apply every time?

gloomy chasm May 23, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

waxen sandal So when someone drags a field then it'll try to apply every time?

No, it only edits and saves userData if it is actually different. So once a field has been overridden, it will not edit the importer data if the same field changes.

#

Honestly I would prefer it to work how Prefabs work, and only apply changes it the variants after an edit has finished. But I am am not sure how to do that. (looking at the source now to see if I can figure out what Unity does for prefabs...)

gloomy chasm May 23, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

@waxen sandal So it is kind of hacky but I can do it in EditorApplication.update by keeping track of the undo group when I set the import data and then in the update call, see if the current group is different, and save it there.
But that sometimes will give a warning about hot controls, and the editor will not longer update for hover events and stuff until I select something.

#

Would it be a bad idea to just use hidden subassets to store the data instead...?

waxen sandal May 23, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

I'd just save it in a SO in ProjectSettings

gloomy chasm May 23, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

I guess I will do that then. On the plus side I won't have to make a note about not using the userData. It just hurts a bit because using the userData of the importer is so clean, and so close (yet so far) from working.

Yeah I guess that's true. Would you save in ProjectSettings, or just in a folder within the asset's own folder? I ask since the data isn't exactly Project Settings since it is just directly related to assets. Put it also kind of feels right in the Project Settings.

#

I got 2 questions.

1. I have been struggling with naming.
A. I can't call them prefabs, so I have been calling them Archetypes, is that good?
B. What do I call the SO that another SO derives from? "Original", "Source", "Root", "Parent", "Archetype"? I know this is dumb, but I keep waffling between them and want another opinion.

2. Should you be able to change in the inspector what SO an SO inherits/derives from? Or should it be like prefabs and be locked it?

Opinions please

waxen sandal May 23, 2021, 5:16 PM

You should probable be able to change it if it's the same type

#

But it's not that big of a deal probably

gloomy chasm May 23, 2021, 10:05 PM

crimson estuary I must be stupid or something but I can't get OnSceneGUI to work

Like I said previusly, you will want to use the SceneView.duringSceneGUI event.

You will want to use Event.delta

#

if (Event.current.type == EventType.ScrollWheel)
{
  float horizontalScrollDelta = Event.current.delta.x;
  // Do something with the horizontal scroll...
}

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:17 PM

I'm processing that

#

crimson estuary I'm currently still struggling just to print one line when I press a key

Oh I see. Well where are you putting the code. That makes a big difference 😉

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:23 PM

#

It's currently in ondrawgizmos

#

probably the worst place to do it but that's where it is right now

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 8:24 PM

#

Yeah.. idk if you can even get the events in OnDrawGizmos.

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:25 PM

#

Probably not, but it's the only one that updates once per frame as if it were an Update()

#

*That I can find, and that's probably the wrong way to do it

#

    void OnDrawGizmos()
    {
        if (Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.B)
            print("Pressed B");
    }```

This works, ish, it starts filling the console but doesn't stop until I move the mouse out of the unity window

#

Oh, my bad. It keeps sending it until I move the mouse at all

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 8:29 PM

[InitializeOnLoad] // This calls the static constructor everytime unity reloads.

}

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:30 PM

#

ok let me process this for a minute, thanks

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 8:30 PM

#

Sure, and don't forget you can look at the docs on unity for more info about something 🙂

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:31 PM

#

Sometimes the docs expect me to know more than I do, or I can't actually figure out what the tool I actually need is called

#

I don't want this to turn into MyFirstProgrammingExperience™️ but can I know what the [...]duringSceneGui += OnDrawSceneGUI does?

#

I just wanna know so I can actually learn it proper and not have this kind of issue again

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

crimson estuary I don't want this to turn into MyFirstProgrammingExperience™️ but can I know wha...

Sure! So duringSceneGui is a type that is called a delegate. It is a way of basically referencing and invoking methods.

private MyDelegateType logInfo;

void Start()
{
  logInfo = LogName;
}

void LogName()
{
  Debug.Log("My Name is John Smith");
}

In this example, every time you call logInfo(); it will be as if you did LogName();.

#

If you want a more in depth explanation, just search for "C# delegate" and some good info will come up 🙂

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

so it's like, an alias for something else?

#

And the += you did added OnDrawSceneGUI to.. duringSceneGui?

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 8:56 PM

#

crimson estuary And the += you did added OnDrawSceneGUI to.. duringSceneGui?

Correct, just like with int where += means 'add this other value to my current value`

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:56 PM

#

By using += you added it to a list of everything that DuringSceneGui will trigger, and if I added something else it will also trigger with it?

#

Ohh I see

#

Theoretically I can add more than one of these "lists" together?

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

Yeah (assuming I understand what you mean)

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

Well I don't think there's a use for it but lets say there's another delegate similar to duringSceneGui, and I have a few things on that. Can I do duringSceneGui += theOtherDelegate?

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 9:00 PM

#

crimson estuary Well I don't think there's a use for it but lets say there's another delegate si...

Honestly I'm not sure. I think?

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 9:00 PM

#

Well, it doesn't matter that's a dumb question, but thanks!

#

One more, is, why does it not have () on the end of OnDrawSceneGUI?

#

Is it supposed to just be the method name without arguments?

gloomy chasm May 24, 2021, 9:01 PM

#

Because you use () you are telling it to invoke the method and it would return whatever it's return value is. Instead we are passing the reference to the method itself.

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 9:02 PM

#

So it is indeed just the method name, and there's no way I could possibly screw it up(...?)

#

Cool!

#

Thanks a bunch!

crimson estuary May 24, 2021, 10:17 PM

#

    private static void OnDrawSceneGUI(SceneView sceneView)
    {
        if (Event.current.type == EventType.KeyDown &&
            Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.B)
        {
            rot.y += yRotBy;
            if (rot.y >= 360) rot.y -=360;

            sceneView.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(rot);

            Debug.Log("Work!");

            SceneView.RepaintAll();

        }
    }

So far this is what I have going, and it does work, but it's very choppy. It seems to only be once per keyboard repeat in this case. Is there any way to get it to move constantly?

#

Also, it only works if I have the Scene tab active, where I would like it to work whenever I'm hovering on the Scene window

hollow spruce May 25, 2021, 4:18 AM

Im not sure if I should ask here or general code, but since the code are in editor window, i assume i can ask here.
It is a tool to package prefab in asset bundle 1 by 1.

Basically the code is simple:

Check the selection (can be in project or hierarchy). If hierarchy, get original prefab
Go through all the list of objects in the selection (atm, i will manually select only prefab)
Then process it to send to asset bundle (it just a list of object) to pack individually.

Question here, I already have some solution to check if object is a prefab in scene or project.
Problem is, somehow even I selected couple of fbx or other file type, it got sent to asset bundles.
So i know the check for prefab was incorrect.

I used : PrefabUtility.IsPartOfPrefabAsset(), PrefabUtility.GetPrefabAssetType()
But seem it failed sometimes (especially when you select multiple objects)
The prefab is simple prefab, no variant but contains some 3d model packed individually

Anyone have tips / idea? (i will delete this if this was in wrong section)
This is editor script not for runtime.

waxen sandal May 25, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

I'm guessing that the gameobject that unity generates for meshes (to drag it into the scene etc) is a prefab and thus detected by those APIs

#

Not sure how to differentiate between them though

#

Maybe try AssetDatabase.GetMainAssetType ?

hollow spruce May 25, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

oh silly me, 3d model is a prefab, but it prefab asset type model
i done a wrong check earlier (i was using != not a prefab).
so as long as i check if it regular or variant prefab, it should be ok

#

gloomy chasm You need to use SerializedProperties.

is that ok ?

waxen sandal May 25, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

You don't want to recreate the serializedObject very frame and you need to apply it if it's changed

gloomy chasm May 25, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

crude fiber is that ok ?

Almost, the editor already has a property called serializedObject so no need to make you own.

waxen sandal May 25, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

Oh yeah that too

gloomy chasm May 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

You also want to get the value from the serializedProperty, not just set it. Right now you are getting the value from minMap and setting it with the SerializedProperty. You don't want to do that.

#

And lastly, at the end you want to make sure at the end to call seralizedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties() otherwise the changes will not be saved.

Alright lets see. So unless some of the fields do not have public properties, I see no reason to use SerializedObject and SerializedProperties. It just makes things harder in this case.

#

That is because Materials are not like other Unity Objects. You need to use it's built-in methods to get and set shader properties like myMaterial.GetFloat(...);

#

Well there is no Material component.

#

So I would imagine that it would throw an exception.

#

What you are looking for is MeshRenderer

So, I have a frustrating problem trying to make some dialogue data. I want to attach unique behavior to certain lines of dialogue without bloating up a single class. The problem-space in it's most basic form is that:
• I've got a list of some data.
• There is no guarantee that every instance of data is the same format.
• I wanna be able to edit all of it outside of runtime.
• Using ScriptableObjects inside this list would be far too time-consuming and messy, unless they can exist exclusively within it.
Ideally, I'd have a ScriptableObject with a List of line instances which all implement an interface that the dialogue box can call, but Unity doesn't like to serialize polymorphic data.

Anyone solved this problem before?

Tried that. Got nothing.
...I mean, like, actually nothing. Nothing showed up.

visual stag May 27, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

once you assign serializable values they show up

#

the default null case will show nothing

#

Unless you use an editor for it like mine https://github.com/vertxxyz/Vertx.Decorators

Okay, but how would I assign specific implementors, and where?

visual stag May 27, 2021, 6:36 AM

Via a custom editor

#

or via my magic property decorator/drawer thing

stray night May 27, 2021, 6:38 AM

#

Good point. I'ma try an enum and a button. Enum for specifying which type, button to add it. I assume it's a reorderable list where I can just remove things.

visual stag once you assign serializable values they show up

It's adding stuff to the list, but it's still not showing up in the inspector.

visual stag May 27, 2021, 6:48 AM

#

what are you adding? A plain serializable class?

stray night May 27, 2021, 6:49 AM

#

The List is of interfaces. What I'm actually feeding the List is a serializable class, yes.

#

I could just convert the interface into an abstract class, if need be.

visual stag May 27, 2021, 6:50 AM

#

Can you link to some code?

stray night May 27, 2021, 6:51 AM

Hi, I'm having an issue with an editor script. I have a script that cleans up my scene and then exits the editor. When I call the cleanup part of the scripts without the editorapplication.exit it works fine. When I add editorapplication.exit at the end of the cleanup part, It just exits Unity without doing all the things I asked it to do. Anyone that has experience with this issue?

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

#

Here you can see the code

#

If I comment the editorapplication.exit it works

#

but with it, it just exits without doing anything

#

I also added a save function before the exit statement so it saves my scene but it didn't solve it

waxen sandal May 27, 2021, 8:52 AM

#

It's likely not saving the scene to disk

#

Not 100% sure what you need to do to make a scene save but you can try doing SetDirty, then SaveAssets

fickle copper May 28, 2021, 10:56 AM

#

Greetings, i am working on a room builder editor tool for a project of mine. I am trying to make a Method that detects if a Vector3 exists inside a region. My current problem is that the current region that i am checking for is not local to a rotation. As such, the detection region on some rotations is incorrect as seen below (Magenta boxes are the detection areas):

#

here is the code: ```csharp
public static bool IsPositionWithinRegion(this Vector3 pos, Vector3 regionCenter,
Vector3 regionSize, Quaternion regionRotation = new Quaternion(), bool showDebug = false)
{
// regionSize = regionRotation * regionSize;

        //Testing matrix stuff
        Matrix4x4 regionMatrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(regionCenter, Quaternion.identity, regionSize);
        Matrix4x4 currentMatrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(pos, Quaternion.identity, Vector3.one);

        if (showDebug)
        {
            Handles.matrix = regionMatrix;
            Handles.color = Color.magenta;
            Handles.CubeHandleCap(GUIUtility.GetControlID(FocusType.Passive), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, 1,
                EventType.Repaint);
        }


        bool isWithinXLimit = pos.x > regionCenter.x - regionSize.x && pos.x < regionCenter.x + regionSize.x;
        // pos.x > regionCenter.x - regionSize.x && pos.x < regionCenter.x + regionSize.x;
        bool isWithinYLimit =
            pos.y > regionCenter.y - regionSize.y && pos.y < regionCenter.y + regionSize.y;
        bool isWithinZLimit =
            pos.z > regionCenter.z - regionSize.z && pos.z < regionCenter.z + regionSize.z;


        return isWithinXLimit && isWithinYLimit && isWithinZLimit;
    }

I have tested a bunch of things with no success. My guess is that matrices are the way to go in creating regions that account for both rotation and position but i am not sure how to use matrices in a condition similar to the example above. I am very new to matrix math so, any help would be appreciated.

CopyPaste from MSDN

A readonly field can't be assigned after the constructor exits. This rule has different implications for value types and reference types:

Because value types directly contain their data, a field that is a readonly value type is immutable.
Because reference types contain a reference to their data, a field that is a readonly reference type must always refer to the same object. That object isn't immutable. The readonly modifier prevents the field from being replaced by a different instance of the reference type. However, the modifier doesn't prevent the instance data of the field from being modified through the read-only field.

#

Short form: if you have a readonly list where the items are reference types, you can change their properties

#

But ofc not the items themself

#

Idk if that's helpful or answers the question in anyway

loud vortex so can you give me a hint what to do next? i'm totally clueless

Sure, you basically have two options. 1. Make a custom editor. 2. Create a wrapper class around your list so that you can either just make a property drawer for it, or so you can user attributes on it.

loud vortex May 29, 2021, 1:57 PM

is a propertydrawer not a custom inspector?

gloomy chasm May 29, 2021, 1:59 PM

loud vortex is a propertydrawer not a custom inspector?

A PropertyDrawer tells unity how to draw a field for a specific type, and are for c# types. While an Editor is for UnityEngne.Object types, and tells unity how to draw it in the inspector.

Is there a way I can rename these reference file paths in an editor script? It adds "1" since there's multiple characters in the scene in Blender (I assume), I would like to rename these so it isn't marked as missing

serene spear May 29, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

I did a bit of research, turns out it's called an "EditorCurveBinding", can I change this path through a script/editor script?

What? EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(...) just draws the default field for the property. A text field for a string type property, a float field for a float type property, an enum field for an enum type property etc.

Is this your window?

#

If lagging is the problem I would use UIToolkit instead of IMGUI, and use it's ListView. Or implement your own virtualized list view in IMGUI (not as scary as it sounds, though still not simple either).

visual stag May 30, 2021, 2:42 AM

#

there is a scroll view scope you can use for IMGUI

#

it will lag 😛

the UIToolkit version will probably be less laggy, the non-laggy IMGUI version takes a lot of code to use

The UIToolkit version won't be laggy at all. 😛

visual stag May 30, 2021, 2:43 AM

#

likely

serene spear May 30, 2021, 2:43 AM

#

I see ScrollView, just wishing I could make it way less laggier, it was lagging a lot in the Animation Window and was tedious to open expand arrays to rename more stuff

#

when you export from blender to unity and bones have same names, for example, "Root", it renames one to just "Root 1" and then it marks it as missing...

#

so then you have to manually rename stuff

visual stag May 30, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

The TreeView API is the non-laggy IMGUI version of this, but it's a pain in the ass to use https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/TreeViewAPI.html

#

I would really recommend what MechWarrior suggests, UIToolkit is very straight forward

#

the example is even relevant looking https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/UIElements.ListView.html

other than the list they use, it's almost all what you want

A Func is a delegate, and that is basically either a single reference to a method or methods. So in this case you don't need the Func since you have the method that does the exact same thing. So you just replace the func that you pass as a parameter in to the ListView with the method that you just added.

#

If you are still not sure, I would recommend looking up C# delegates to learn more. There is a lot of great info on them! 🙂

That is because you are trying to give the ListView a VisualElement when it wants a method/Func that takes 0 parameters and returns a VisualElement. I would really recommend trying to look up some more info about delegates.

yeah, delegates are still a bit foreign to me

gloomy chasm May 30, 2021, 8:12 PM

I have no where to share this, and I want to because I think it is interesting.
Getting an asset path from a GUID is significantly faster than getting from an object directly.

Calling each method 10k times, on average GetAssetPath took 650 ms, while GUIDToAssetPath was around 75 ms.

gloomy chasm May 30, 2021, 9:03 PM

Sick, just found out that AssetDatabase.FindAssets() can't find subassets. I'm really trying hard here to support Unity's own sub-assets system. But man does it feel like they really don't want you to mess with it at all...

#

I guess that make sense since only have one guid... Now I am going to dive in to the black abyss which is the Project Browser source code to see what they do... 😧

#

They handle it in external code of course... You know what this is too much, even QuickSearch doesn't support sub-assets.

serene spear May 30, 2021, 10:21 PM

been trying to look up func stuff for a couple of hours now, I don't understand now, I understand a little bit of the other delegate types, but Func is confusing me, it keeps giving me that error that it can't convert VisualElement to System.Func<VisualElement>

I want to just return the func, but also be able to edit the text content

gloomy chasm May 31, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

serene spear Here's the code I'm using, it's very short

Where is this code... is it maybe in the OnGUI method, and not in OnEnable?

#

Something to know about UIToolkit is that it is what is called a Retained Mode GUI. That basically means it does not update every frame like Immediate Mode
does GUI, GUILayout, etc. in unity are all Immediate Mode, meaning they update every frame, and so need to be put in the OnGUI method which is called every frame(ish).

#

Retained Mode(UIToolkit) only updates based on certain events. It is heavily event driven. So you only make the UI elements once in OnEnable.
UIToolkit controls have events you can register to.
In your case the most important one is RegisterOnValueChangedEvent. That is called every time the element's value changes.
So in your case you would want to register to that event when you bind an item, so you can do your checks and apply the new value to the source data.

Need some advice...
I have a 'SequenceManager' which is a monobehaviour that just has a list of 'Sequence'. Sequence contains a List<IAction>, which is a polymorphic list. I am using a custom property drawer for Sequence to add an enum field that I am using to add a new value to the IAction list.

Code: https://pastebin.com/NQxwX8x1

The problem is, my property drawer is rendering all messed up inside the inspector array container, and the enum field I added is rendered after the array container, not as a sub element. Anyone got any resources on why this happens?

waxen sandal But it should be called from UITK if it's 2021 and they don't have a custom edit...

Why would it?

waxen sandal May 31, 2021, 12:40 PM

#

Because Unity has been replacing all editors with UITK

gloomy chasm May 31, 2021, 12:40 PM

Did they move default to UIToolkit?

I'm not sure but I think I heard that it should work by default in either 2019 or 2020

Nope, just checked and the default drawer still uses IMGUI.

What's IAction?

gloomy chasm May 31, 2021, 12:43 PM

#

It needs to have the [SerializeReference] attribute or unity will not serialize it

#

The IAction list I mean.

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

So, make it public and add SerializeReference?

waxen sandal May 31, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

Just SerializeReference should be enough

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

IAction is an interface, its a polymorphic list

waxen sandal May 31, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

There you go, use SerializeReference

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

I had it working with default UI, i just wanted to add a bloody button haha

#

just to check the placement, this is what you meant?

        [SerializeReference] public List<IAction> actions = new List<IAction>();

gloomy chasm May 31, 2021, 12:45 PM

It can still be private, but yes.

waxen sandal May 31, 2021, 12:45 PM

gloomy chasm May 31, 2021, 12:46 PM

In your code, you are using EditorGUILayout for your enumpopup.

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 12:46 PM

#

It draws! It draws wrong but it draws!

#

That would be the draw wrong part i think haha

#

Tryna make that render inside the list

#

gloomy chasm May 31, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

You shouldn't use the "...Layout" classes in property drawers

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

ah right, gotcha

#

thank you both for the assistance btw, much appreciated

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

Im not sure what term to google here...
Im trying to increase the size of the space alloted to the item in the list?
There are two weird things going on. First, the enum field is being drawn outside of the list area, second when I expand the actions property, no sub elements are being drawn. Do I need to do that? I thought the PropertyField would cover it.

Current view attached, minimised and maximised.

The actions list is making space for the sub elements, as its property height grows when I use the enum to add an action to it. Just cant see the action...

#

waxen sandal May 31, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

Override GetPropertyHeight

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 1:20 PM

You sent this just as I found an answer saying the same haha

Thank you

#

Ah, worked!

#

Except for the invisible subcontent 😠 Its never easy is it

#

ah, include children !!

You see, not too hardcore 🙂

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 1:30 PM

#

I would ... LOVE to agree with you Mikilo haha.

But when I expand a child of one of the action lists, all the other sequence elements turn invisible haha.

#

#

So thats what im tackling now 😛

                    case Sequence.ActionType.Debug:
                        SerializedProperty newAction = prop.GetArrayElementAtIndex(prop.arraySize++);
                        newAction.managedReferenceValue = new DebugAction();
                        break;
                    case Sequence.ActionType.MoveTransform:
                        break;
                }

Hmm, it looks okay

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 1:41 PM

Im wondering if I should be changing anything with prop.isExpanded, but i'll probably only end up using that to hide the enum popup inside

onyx harness May 31, 2021, 1:42 PM

does it help?

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 1:43 PM

huh ill try it

#

Nope, no real change that I could see between using that or not

onyx harness May 31, 2021, 1:46 PM

#

remember you use it in 2 spots

plucky nymph May 31, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

Yep, changed in both.

I feel like the property height is correct now, as the highlighting for the portion seems accurate.
For example. on this shot, you can see where the element finished, one line space under the enum field

Okay, im making no headway. Gonna call it a night.
One more giant thanks for all the help tendered tonight

Fixed it, the problem was AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(item, "Assets/Preset/Items"); wasn't set to a Format

it was supposed to be .asset in the end ;-;

opaque zenith I can't seem to get it to work how I want 😦

Try doing [CustomEditor(typeof(Object), true)]. Though I am not sure the results.

opaque zenith Jun 1, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

@gloomy chasm slow response, but that works! What exactly is the true doing as an overload?

#

okay, apparently that true makes it always active, but pretty cool!

[CustomEditor(typeof(Object), true)]
[CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class DefaultCustomInspector : Editor
{
    string testText;

    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        testText = Selection.activeObject.name;
        EditorGUILayout.LabelField("~~~~~CUSTOM INSPECTOR~~~~~");
        testText = EditorGUILayout.TextField(testText);
        EditorGUILayout.LabelField("~~~~~CUSTOM INSPECTOR~~~~~");
        DrawDefaultInspector();
    }
}

for example giving me something like

Is anyone aware of any attributes for inspector values that would trim strings?

I wrote one, TrimTextAttribute, but it breaks TextAreaAttribute

I could write TrimTextArea and TrimMultiLine...

#

Can't... TrimTextAttribute is sealed.

Anyone know of a solution?

you could make a TrimTextAreaAttribute that was also a TextArea

sadly Unity doesn't allow multiple property drawers

I'm trying to make a special scriptable object that I can use as a pointer to a specific Resources folder to help me load resources without hardcoded strings. So right now it literally just stores a string for the asset's current directory, but once I have that working I can reliably use it as a variable, shareable path for loading resources.

[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Resource Group")]
public class ResourceGroup : ScriptableObject
{
    [SerializeField]
    private string resourcesDirectory = null;
    public string ResourcesDirectory
    {
        get => resourcesDirectory;
        internal set => resourcesDirectory = value;
    }
}

The big challenge is making sure the asset always knows its directory within the Resources folder. To do this, I've created an editor-only class that derives from AssetsModifiedProcessor which sends me the paths of any assets that are created, changed or moved.

Should be straightforward implementation: when file is created or moved, overwrite its resourcesDirectory string with the correct value.

The problem I'm running into is that I need to load the scriptable object to be able to update it. This is normally fine, I just call AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath, however when the scriptable object is moved and I try to load it from the destination path, it often returns as null. I tried loading the scriptable object at the destination and source path but if one fails, so does the other.

I guess sometimes the asset exists in some sort of limbo until I return from the OnAssetsModified callback and Unity finishes the move? It's weird. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - and I can't find any rhyme or reason.

Does it seem like I'm goin about this the right way, or is this idea sketchy? 😅
src if it helps: https://hastebin.com/noqihugoqo.csharp

#

Another thing that feels weird about this approach is that I get the callback for every asset. Can't seem to tell unity to only send events for my specific scriptable object. This means whenever any asset is created or moved, I have to load it to check if it's a ResourceGroup

gloomy chasm Jun 1, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

@wispy delta So the ResourceDirectory, is that a path to a folder or a game asset?

#

And it isn't clear, is that path relative to the resources folder? Or is it a path to a specific resources folder itself?

wispy delta Jun 1, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

@gloomy chasm
The path is relative to the Resources folder and is just to the directory that contains the ResourceGroup asset. So the idea is that the string should be usable directly with Resources.LoadAll and other similar methods

Resources.LoadAll<Sprite>(someResourceGroup.ResourcesDirectory);

#

I'll likely add my own load methods to the resource group so you can do:

someResourceGroup.LoadAll<Sprite>()

#

gloomy chasm I thought you said you used the `AssetsModifiedProcessor`? Or did you try both?

Hmm ok I wasn't aware of AssetPostprocessor, I was using AssetsModifiedProcessor.
They seem to be very similar classes with similar callbacks
AssetsModifiedProcessor.OnAssetsModified(string[] changedAssets, string[] addedAssets, string[] deletedAssets, AssetMoveInfo[] movedAssets)
vs
AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessAllAssets(string[] importedAssets, string[] deletedAssets, string[] movedAssets, string[] movedFromAssetPaths)
I was a bit confused. However after switching to using AssetPostprocessor it seems to work?!

I guess OnPostprocessAllAssets is called after the movement so I can load the asset fine 🤷‍♂️

I've gotten quite far with my scrolling orbit plugin/script, but there's one issue. I can't figure out how to cancel out Unity's default handling of zoom. e.g, even though I have my vertical orbiting bound to vertical scrolling, it still zooms in and out.

I think that a great place to start with custom control development is to re-create the GUI.Button and GUILayout.Button controls since these are straightforward to create and helps to establish some of the fundamentals of custom control development. Our custom button implementation will be used in the exact same way as the regular button controls:

IEdgeConnectorListener.OnDropOutsidePort doesn't get called for a EdgeConnector manipulator on the port (which, I suppose, make sense).

Graph View (the class) has a callback when certain things on the graph change, edges are one of them:

        private GraphViewChange OnGraphViewChanged(GraphViewChange changes)
        {
            if (changes.movedElements != null)
            {
                ProcessElementMoves(ref changes.movedElements);
            }

            //Checks for changes related to our nodes.
            if (changes.elementsToRemove != null)
            {
                ProcessElementRemovals(ref changes.elementsToRemove);
            }
            
            if (changes.edgesToCreate == null)
                return changes;
            ProcessEdgesToCreate(ref changes.edgesToCreate);
//...etc
        }

You register the callback with
(GraphView).graphViewChanged = OnGraphViewChanged;
