assigning my material to a custom inspector.
How do I show it's properties in the custom inpsector?

plucky nymph Jun 5, 2021, 11:30 AM

#

So, need some help with a blocking point:
Im working on a property drawer, specifically one that renders a List<T>
To add to that list, I am using AdvancedDropdown. In order to add to the list on item selected, I created a delegate that was publicly accessible.

I found that if I tried to add to the list by assigning an inline method to the delegate, it didnt work. It would run, and call debugs etc, but it would never add to the list. I think this is due to the nature of SerializableObjects (adding to the list is done by adding like this:

SerializedProperty newAction = prop.GetArrayElementAtIndex(prop.arraySize++);

So, I created a List<string> at class level in the PropertyDrawer, and added to it when an item was selected. Then, during every OnGUI, I add whatever items are in the class list to the property list, and clear it.

In my initial tests, i thought this was working fine, but now that I have two instances of the property in the inspector (the property drawer is for a list of lists...), whenever I add an item, its only adding it to the first property, not the one I want it to add to.

All relevant code here, mainly in SequenceEditor.cs https://github.com/DraconInteractive/SequenceSystem.git

Why can't get I get the initial opening of an editor window to dock to the desired type? It's only upon closing that window a new one opens that docks correctly

#

I'm using things like HasOpenInstances to make sure there isn't an instance opened up somewhere that has to be closed first

#

nvm, I saved in instance in my main script and used if (!mainEditorWindow.docked) mainEditorWindow.Close();

#

so basically having it to do the auto close for me... however, if I can get it to initialize properly would rather do that just for ease of mind

Basically, I'm trying to remove using GUILayout.Toolbar as my way of changing between different editor extensions I setup and was looking at just having new things open up as docked tabs instead. However, struggling with finding a way to deal with ShowUtility still. FocusWindowIfItsOpen() almost solved some of my problems when used in Update(), but, it was causing the window to focus even when not in Unity.

It worked the same as GetWindow was, it wasn't opening it docked

#

but if I closed window through the above method even with createwindow it would open backup as docked

gloomy chasm Jun 5, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

opaque zenith It worked the same as GetWindow was, it wasn't opening it docked

What...? doing CreateWindow<MainEditorWindow>(typeof(MyEditorWindow)).Show(); didn't work?

opaque zenith Jun 5, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

I didn't do it as .show(). I just did CreateWindow<MainEditorWindow>(typeof(MyEditorWindow)); let me try

gloomy chasm Jun 5, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

nvm don't need to do Show() since it already does it.

gloomy chasm Jun 5, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

opaque zenith It worked the same as GetWindow was, it wasn't opening it docked

There has to be an instance of one of the provided types already open for it to dock to it.

opaque zenith Jun 5, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

That was something I was wondering. Is Update() going off before MyEditorWindow is even going? Guess I could do a debug.log to check. Maybe I should do this OnOpen();

#

or check if an instance exists of MyEditorWindow

opaque zenith Jun 5, 2021, 8:15 PM

#

gloomy chasm There has to be an instance of one of the provided types already open for it to ...

    void Update()
    {

            if (!HasOpenInstances<MainEditorWindow>()) CreateWindow<MainEditorWindow>(typeof(MyEditorWindow));

@gloomy chasm just since you help me a lot figured I'd show you something for fun I've been doing. I wanted to have more control over my enums, so put this together to not only do that, but, to give me more learning of the unity editor fun things. Have this all done through scriptable objects now instead of actual enums

This is obviously way easy to do without an editor, but, my goal was to prevent someone not familiar with scriptableobjects and the organization already in a project to be able to create and remove enums without having to actually look at the project hierachy

crimson estuary It says cameraDistance has no setter

And?

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 2:36 AM

It won't let me modify or set the value

#

Oh, Rider says it has no setter, Unity's console says it's read only

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 2:40 AM

#

gloomy chasm And?

Is there some way that I don't know to just ignore that fact and somehow set it anyways?

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 2:42 AM

#

crimson estuary Is there some way that I don't know to just ignore that fact and somehow set it ...

Reflection to get the backing field. But there is a reason that things are read only. I would look at the source code to see what is going on. I would imagine that it is set internally every frame, so setting it your self would be pointless.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 2:42 AM

#

I don't think I have access to the source code

#

How else would I go about adding zoom functionality?

#

I could move the pivot point back to "emulate" that but then I can't orbit a selected object

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 2:45 AM

#

crimson estuary I don't think I have access to the source code

It is in the pinned messages in the channel.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

Oh, well, I see.

That still doesn't really help though

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

crimson estuary Oh, well, I see. That still doesn't really help though

How not?

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

well, I won't be able to use whatever I may find there anyways, and I'm not even advanced enough at programming to figure it out in the first place

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 2:48 AM

#

What is it that you are trying to do in this case?

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

Set a custom zoom sensitivity and prevent it from zooming in too close

#

This is how fast it zooms, just if I so much as touch the scroll

#

Because my mouse does fine scrolling, eg, not line-per-line (which I assume unity expects), so every tiny little tap at it causes the zoom to go flying

#

Is there any other way whatsoever to modify the zoom on the camera?

#

@gloomy chasm I really hope I'm not bothering you by pinging, but you're the best at helping me

All good. I am looking a it now, but take a look at this as well.
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Editor/Mono/SceneView/SceneViewMotion.cs

#

@crimson estuary Checkout line 481 and down to 496

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:13 AM

#

okay, lemme give that a look

#

well this looks like it does the zooming, and it will zoom to where the mouse is hovering, but that's all I can glean

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:18 AM

#

crimson estuary well this looks like it does the zooming, and it will zoom to where the mouse is...

I'm not sure what to tell you right now. There is sceneView.cameraSettings you could look in to.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:18 AM

#

I looked at that, it only contains things like fov or clipping

#

I need it to zoom towards center, as I want it to keep the pivot point locked to the focused object

#

Alright, maybe a macgyver solution is needed. Is there any way to emulate me pressing mouse buttons in script?

#

I suppose I could just use the scroll event and then send a fake one at a custom interval

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

crimson estuary I need it to zoom towards center, as I want it to keep the pivot point locked to...

Wait, so you just need it to zoom towards the center of the screen?

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

Yeah, I need it to zoom in and out to the focused object

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

Then that code is literally what you want.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

The bit you linked?

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

Yeah

#

Well almost

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

That's !zoomTowardsCenter, I assume that's for if you're not focused on anything it'll zoom to where you've moused over

#

But that would also break the focused object pivot point

#

let me check out earlier parts of this

#

They would probably handle the centerpoint zooming

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

This code is actually not bad for what it is, and well structured making it easier to look through.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

Is this the actual source code or is this decompiled?

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:32 AM

#

Actual source code.

#

Reference only.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

~~much comment lack~~ \s

#

It's actualy pretty clear

#

Well, I see how it gets a zoom delta, but not quite sure how it applies it. And if I could, none of this is accessible, unless I'm missing something?

#

So what I can figure is that view.size is the "zoom"

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

crimson estuary Well, I see how it gets a zoom delta, but not quite sure how it applies it. And ...

Yeah, I was just showing you this so that you could learn how to do it your self from it.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

But all of this stuff is inaccessible, isn't it?

gloomy chasm Jun 6, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

Correct.

#

You would need to do it your self. But it isn't that much.

crimson estuary Jun 6, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

I see. Well, then I need to access view.size, which the Rome that all roads lead to

#

I'll see if that's accessible

#

Oh! There's SceneView.size

#

Can I ask not for technical help, but an opinion?

What's a reasonable cutoff distance for zooming closer? I currently am at 0.1 but that will clip me clear into a default cube. But I'm afraid if I make it too far like 1 or 0.5 it'll be too far for fine details that I (or whoever might want to use this) to use

#

Another opinion is if I should have separate behavior for orthographic mode. I don't know if it'll be necessary to orbit so much in that mode. I know 2D mode should not orbit at all, but should orthographic be the same?

And it works fine when adding via UI Builder.

@waxen sandal @onyx harness Yeah, took a quick look at the Debugger last night and I may be able to get label names with it. Thanks!
It looks like it also gives you the Rects so while I can't hide them, maybe I can draw over them and do a fake 'grayed-out' which is second best.

A project for next weekend though.

Root is my ui window, but it can also be any VE.

I found my problem, when spawning it in code with constructor, i have to use the constructor in my derived class to add children. The example i linked and followed ONLY fires when adding ur element via the UI Builder apparently

#

maybe keep User Settings too if you have that folder

#

seeing as you're in VSCode, i have one question

you may need an extension, i recommend "Unity Code Snippets"

But to answer your question, you can click on the transitions to set blending, and you set if an animation loops on the actual animation asset. Any further questions would be best asked in the #🏃┃animation channel. 🙂

Hey, if I'm trying to replace a texture in a Sprite Renderer in the editor in C#, do I have to save the modified texture pixels to the image file and then somehow set the texture file to the sprite renderer or is there an easier way to do it?

#

This is what my "save textures" method looks like:

public void SaveTexture()
        {
            // Save the texture to the output file
            canvas = new Texture2D((int)clippingRect.width, (int)clippingRect.height);
            canvas.SetPixels32(imageCanvas);
            canvas.Apply();

            renderer.sprite = Sprite.Create(canvas, new Rect(clippingRect) { x = 0, y = 0 }, new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f));
        }

imageCanvas is the new image

#

Everytime I do this it just clears out the texture from the SpriteRenderer

no, if map is null it won't change between Layout and Repaint.

Try adding a change check to the toggle and exiting GUI there perhaps

#

should i check it in inspectorUpdate function?

#

or i can only check it in OnGUI?

visual stag Jun 9, 2021, 3:05 AM

#

it's only relevant in OnGUI

#

if that's happening in the base.OnGUI, try wrapping that in a change check and exit if a change happens. It's probably not ideal, but if it works 🤷

floral sedge Jun 9, 2021, 3:08 AM

#

#

still not work. :(

#

it's so weird. it should work based on your advise

visual stag Jun 9, 2021, 3:12 AM

#

): sorry, I can't be of more help
To describe the issue that's happening clearly:
OnGUI is broken up into a few passes, one Layout, one Repaint (and some extra)
When Layout occurs it allocates a stack of rects for use with Repaint.
When Repaint occurs it expects that stack to be allocated in the exact same way, when it isn't it will throw that exception.
If you're doing a structural change in the middle somewhere and calling ExitGUI that just throws an exception which ends the GUI frame and it then repaints again.

#

So if you have a list of items that changes between phases that you're drawing, then drawing a new one when the stack doesn't expect it requires you to exit the GUI. The error is totally harmless, but obviously should be avoided because it's annoying as all hell 😛

floral sedge Jun 9, 2021, 3:15 AM

#

your words are helpful. thanks a lot 👍

gloomy chasm Jun 9, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

I have not been paying any attention to the conversation. But if you have a harmless error than you can always use a try catch

floral sedge Jun 9, 2021, 3:18 AM

#

😂 but it will be called per frame, doesn't it cause the low performance?

visual stag Jun 9, 2021, 3:18 AM

#

Not necessarily always because sometimes it's just a LogError and not an exception

gloomy chasm Jun 9, 2021, 3:19 AM

(I have literally no context for what I am saying. I am basically just responding to the last sentence in vertx's last message 😛 )

floral sedge Jun 9, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

😆

floral sedge Jun 9, 2021, 3:53 AM

#

i solved it by checking the map manually.

#

it's so weird. the GUI.changed and BeginCheckChanged occurs at Repaint phase but it called later than below code.

#

@visual stag

#

maybe the changed check happened in next repaint phase

From reading the docs it sounds like it only does it the once. If you are changing what object is bound, it doesn't know if it is the same, so it would need to recreate all of the elements anyway.

I'm trying to make some editor settings that will assist in globally changing the mip bias of textures in my project.

I have an AssetPostprocessor with the OnPreprocessTexture event function so I can grab the textures importer and set the mip map bias based on my settings

private void OnPreprocessTexture()
{
    TextureImporter textureImporter = (TextureImporter)assetImporter;
    if (textureImporter != null && ShouldSetBias(textureImporter))
    {
        textureImporter.mipMapBias = MipSettings.GetOrCreateSettings().bias;
        textureImporter.SaveAndReimport();
    }
}

Then in my MipSettings gui, you can change the bias field and click an "Apply" button. I'd like the apply button to reimport all the textures in the project, which will indirectly cause the mip bias to be updated via the asset post processor mentioned above.

The problem I'm having, is that reimporting the assets doesn't trigger anything on my post processor. Unity just doesn't run it.

if (GUILayout.Button("Apply", GUILayout.Width(50)))
{
    // find all texture guids
    string[] guids = AssetDatabase.FindAssets($"t:{nameof(Texture2D)}");
    foreach (var guid in guids)
    {
        // get the texture path
        var path = AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid);
        // and importer
        TextureImporter importer = AssetImporter.GetAtPath(path) as TextureImporter;
        
        // if the asset has a texture importer, and the post processor should set the bias
        if (importer != null && MipBiasPostProcessor.ShouldSetBias(importer))
        {
            // reimport the asset
            Debug.Log("Reimporting " + path);
            AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(guid, ImportAssetOptions.ForceUpdate);
        }
    }
    // and refresh the asset database because that sounds
    // like a thing I should do?
    AssetDatabase.Refresh(ImportAssetOptions.ForceUpdate);
}

visual stag Jun 9, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

AssetDatabase.ImportAsset takes a path not a GUID

#

also you should definitely wrap that in a https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing.html (try, finally) https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetDatabase.StopAssetEditing.html

or whatever way around that goes

wispy delta Is it possible to invert a `FindAssets` query? I don't see it mentioned anywhere...

I'm not sure if this is what you are exactly looking for, but, I use findassets by type all the time. For example, AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:Sprite", new[] {"Assets/"} type searches

Provided it is a serialized property on some other serialized object. If it's a full blown object on its own, I've had success with Editor.CreateEditor before, but it's a little bruteforce. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Editor.CreateEditor.html

plucky nymph Yeh my main thing is that im not sure if I can get the property for the object, ...

Yeah, IIRC, every item in a serializedproperty array is in itself a serializedproperty , but if you ask to "draw" the property for that, you just get the assignment field in the case of a Unity object, so it may or may not suffice for your use case.

Yes that's the default behaviour

#

You can iterate over a lists items just find by doing Next(true) or GEtArrayItemAtIndex

so I was checking Debug.Log(serializedObject.hasModifiedProperties); and it returns false even after I add something through code not the scriptableobject. Do you not need to setdirty on a scriptableobject on everything on a scriptableobject?

If you set value through SerializedObject/SerializedProperty you don't need to worry about SetDirty, or Undo/Redo.

opaque zenith Jun 11, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

so, I'm not setting through those, persea. I have my scriptableobject instance I'm adjust values on, but, the "get info" part doesn't rely necessarily on the scriptableobject to have that data. However, I want to make sure that data is saved to the scriptableobject so when I check to get the data, it won't go through the process involved if the data already exists

#

atm the default inspector updates correctly, but want to make sure it saves. I guess I'll just check haha, just enjoy the chat

#

did just get this error Importer(DefaultImporter) generated inconsistent result for asset(guid:9f8e9c9c30d734674a446d6bdab62eb9) "Assets/ScriptableObjects/Enums/Test" is this because of the fact I deleted the last Test I made, and then made a new one? I think I read somewhere about GUID data and other things aren't actually deleted after removing an asset till you restart unity?

okay, it seems whatever I am doesn't need to worry about setdirty. Maybe because of me doing a singleton there is only once instance of the data?

Well what are you doing. If you are editing an asset and not setting it dirty, and not using SerializedObject, it will not save the changes when you exit Unity.

gloomy chasm Well what are you doing. If you are editing an asset and not setting it dirty, a...

So where I'm at atm is I have a scriptableobject singleton, have the asset of it. Then in editorwindow I have it getting and setting data from the scriptableobject through my singleton doing EnumData.Instance. I just created a new Enum that does .add to the lists on the scriptableobject and restarted unity and it seemed to have saved the data. Sorry, I know this isn't really a problem. Just trying to understand it more

#

now this most recent test didn't save, but kept the previous data wasn't saved either haha

ivory fulcrum Jun 11, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

I was told that I want a custom importer, but I want to interject between the point where the asset is turned into a Texture2D, And what I have right now is a button that is supposed to modify an image and its position. The problem is that the last step of replacing the asset doesn't work. I create a sprite and attach it to the sprite renderer and the image that was there that the button operated on disappears. I know everything else works because I tested it individually. The only problem is saving it to the asset database so that it has the modified data. I'm trying also to avoid modifying the original files that it imported or generate any other files

Unless I am missing a previous comment. This is not enough to do anything with. I am not even sure what it is you are trying to do, let alone how to help.

opaque zenith Jun 11, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

Okay, so, I moved on back to some InitiateOnLoad things and made me curious more about understanding scriptableObject instances, combined with the normal singleton pattern.

#

is a script I made

Screen_Shot_2021-06-11_at_11.33.54_AM.png

#

which worked when I put a setter in the singleton pattern to make the instance = this loadassetatpath

#

but without it, the debug for the instance is 0, for example. When I click on the EnumData scriptableobject it also would populate the EnumData.Instance, but, not before then?

ivory fulcrum Jun 11, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

Sorry MechWarrior99, Ok. So I have image files with a large amount of surrounding transparent space around each image. They're imported into a prefab where individual game objects represent each image which acts as a "layer" that can then be stacked on top of the image below it. This works because all of the images are the same size, and all of them are positioned at 0,0. But, it's wasteful and inefficient in terms of performance because each image could have several hundred empty pixel rows and columns around the actual image data.

So I've written a button that crops out those empty pixels leaving just the actual image in the center, and also calculates how the positioning should be adjusted so that the image is in the same place on the canvas as it was before (so that layering still works). The problem is that now that I've got all that working, I need to put the newly created Texture2D as a Sprite into the sprite renderer for the corresponding object.

I thought maybe I could just generate a sprite and assign it, but that just makes the image disappear from the canvas and when you go to the gameObject in the editor and check the sprite renderer component, "sprite" is blank.

Because this is built into the editor, I'm trying to abide by some rules: Don't create extraneous files in the assets directory, apply the graphic to the sprite renderer, and don't modify the files the image was imported from

gloomy chasm Jun 11, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

opaque zenith is a script I made

Just put that in the getter for the instance.

#

There is no reason for it to be in update. If you wanted you could have it in a separate method that get calls and also have an initOnLoad attr on it.

gloomy chasm Jun 11, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

ivory fulcrum Sorry MechWarrior99, Ok. So I have image files with a large amount of surroundin...

I see, that makes much more sense! Maybe a silly question, but why not just edit the files to remove the empty space to start with? If they are really that much bigger you are potentially wasting a lot of storage space.
(Also will need to see the code you are using for setting and creating the sprites)

ivory fulcrum Jun 11, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

Because those are the original assets the user is working with presumably

#

That would still be a somewhat destructive change that would be hard to reverse if the user needed to

good point!

gloomy chasm Jun 11, 2021, 8:23 PM

opaque zenith good point!

This is what I do for my own and I call it in the get; accessor for the singleton instance field.

[InitializeOnLoadMethod]
        private static void SetInstance()
        {
            if (_instance != null)
                return;

            string[] guids = AssetDatabase.FindAssets($"t:{nameof(LibraryData)}");

            if (guids.Length > 0)
            {
                _instance = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<LibraryData>(AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guids[0]));
            }
            else
            {
                _instance = CreateInstance<LibraryData>();
                AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(_instance, LibraryConstants.RootPath + "/Asset Library.asset");
                AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
            }
        }

opaque zenith Jun 11, 2021, 8:24 PM

Yeah, appreciate it. I hate when I derp like this lol. Made an entire different script to do the initialize than put it in the singleton

onyx harness Jun 11, 2021, 9:46 PM

#

What I see is an instance that will force load at init even though it might never be use.
Go for lazy loading like any common singleton pattern

#

If everybody was doing like that, reload might take precious seconds just for those

gloomy chasm Jun 11, 2021, 10:02 PM

#

Oh that! Yeah this isn't my normal pattern. I normally use the Lazy<T> class. But for this particular one I did it this way. I had a good reason for doing it this way I think, but I can't remember now so I was planning on reverting it back.

The more I think about it I think it is just leftover this way from refactoring.

@onyx harness @gloomy chasm hows this look?

Screen_Shot_2021-06-11_at_4.44.21_PM.png

#

also, is there a way to make this a singleton for everything? I've noticed online different singletons for every inheritance. Can't you just do a generic inheritance?

gloomy chasm Jun 11, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

opaque zenith <@!264188849788289024> <@!131292153300123648> hows this look?

Firstly if there are not asset instances of T your GUIDToAssetPath line will give you an IndexOutOfRange exception because tGuids has no items in it.

#

If this is not for editor only then you need to wrap the code that is editor only in a #if UNITY_EDITOR or Unity can't built.

opaque zenith Jun 11, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

that confuses me, is that even possible? For this to be called doesn't there mean there is an asset?

Not at all, that is the point. The very first time you try to access it there will be no instance because you have not created one.

opaque zenith Jun 11, 2021, 11:49 PM

What?

opaque zenith Jun 11, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

gloomy chasm What?

my other check was _instance = Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<T>().FirstOrDefault(); I should leave that outside of the #if UNITY_EDITOR so I still have some method if trying to access the instance at runtime

#

?

#

Not that I will. Just wondering

gloomy chasm Jun 11, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

Yes.

#

btw the is no need to do

T t = AssetDatabase.LoadIns...;
_instance = t;

Just make that one line and directly assign the instance to _instance.

#

Also for CreateInstance, there is a generic version of it so you can just use that instead.

opaque zenith Jun 12, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

I didn't quite understand the create instance generic part. I thought that was what this already is hehe

Screen_Shot_2021-06-11_at_5.04.41_PM.png

ivory fulcrum Jun 12, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

gloomy chasm I see, that makes much more sense! Maybe a silly question, but why not just edit...

Because presumably those are the original copies of the assets that the user is working with. Also that would be quite a destructive change and that's part of the goal is to avoid destructive changes and also make it easy to undo the changes which will be the next thing to solve but I can't solve that until I figure out exactly how those changes need to be made

#

Here's the code as it stands right now. The "return" at the end of the foreach loop in "ModifyAllImages" is so that it only processes the first image until I get the process correct.

#

https://hastebin.com/ihahaqapuy.csharp

#

TextureViewerWindow.ShowTextureViewer(sprite) is a custom window that shows the results of the cropping.

#

The cropping works, the realignment works. It's just applying those changes to the prefab in such a way that it can be undone, doesn't change the underlying files, but persists when saved and is included in the final build

#

I was told I need a custom importer, but I'm unsure from the documentation how to do that.

Anytime that an asset can be moved and you want to still keep a reference to it.

#

Basically if you want to reference an asset without loading it, there is almost no reason to use path instead of guid.

That's a nice indentation visualization effect you've got there. Would you mind sharing the product/extension you're using for that? Sorry if you've already mentioned it before, I tried searching your messages in Discord but the search feature appears to be buggy and doesn't return anything.

Absolutely! Thanks for asking, always hope I can give back. I'm using extension indent-rainbow by oderwat

oderwat.indent-rainbow is extension identifier

opaque zenith Jun 12, 2021, 8:02 PM

So I made a separate script to solve this, but, made me wonder. Is there a way to bypass compile errors? Like, create a method that does certain things, but, if the variables and stuff don't exist yet, to make the errors null?

onyx harness Jun 12, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

No

opaque zenith Jun 12, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

okay, thanks!

#

hmm I guess I could just put the method in the class that doesn't exist yet with if UNITY_EDITOR conditions

onyx harness Jun 12, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

maybe using a DLL

#

But I'm not sure

opaque zenith Jun 12, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

oh dang, I'm noob enough with unity haha. I'll learn about DLL stuff soon

opaque zenith Jun 12, 2021, 8:24 PM

#

so I think I accomplished what I was wanting to do, though not exact, through the class itself and #if UNITY_Editor and OnEnable()

#

I guess I could just do awake instead though? or both?

opaque zenith Jun 12, 2021, 9:19 PM

Mech got me hooked into #if UNITY_EDITOR. I was trying to not use it outside of editor scripts directly, but, it has actually made my life easier to just include editor things in the scripts themself 😦

How do you use it "in"?

What I am doing right now is subscribing to the EditorApplication.projectWindowItemOnGUI event and catching the Event.current if it is a ContextClick, using it and calling my own menu.

I haven't tried figuring out how to replace the menu for the Add button yet. I'm thinking maybe using UITK to put an overlay over the button and catch the click event first. If there are better ways to do this I am more than interested.

You can use the TypeCache to get them which is nice. But as you said, a lot are not returned. So for those I need to either find the validation method in the C# code, or if they are not there, create my own validation method that that mimics the funcinality.

This is probably not the channel you are looking for. #💻┃unity-talk wold be better suited. This is for talking about the creation of extensions to the editor, like new editor windows and custom inspectors. If that is what you mean, then you would use the AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath. Otherwise ask in #💻┃unity-talk 🙂

Priority can be recovered

What version is that on and do you remove the items first or anything?

onyx harness Jun 13, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

When I did my first test on Menu in 2018.3, it was "working"

#

I was able to add, remove

#

And it was not super reliable

gloomy chasm Jun 13, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

Maybe something changed between then and 2020.3. AddMenuItem works reliably and it isn't that much more annoying to use. So that's fine I guess.
Is ExtractSubmenus public in a different version?

Yeah I'm sure it is more reliable now, like TypeCache

It comes from dnSpy, common naming I would say from disassemblers

gloomy chasm Jun 13, 2021, 3:12 PM

#

Oh! Are you using that to look at newer version's source code since the repo is no longer being updated?

onyx harness Jun 13, 2021, 3:13 PM

I almost never use the official repo

gloomy chasm Jun 13, 2021, 3:13 PM

Oh really? Why is that?

onyx harness Jun 13, 2021, 3:13 PM

I found jumping from a disassembler much efficient

#

I only use GitHub when I dont have dnSpy around

#

Also I can scan between multiple versions at once

gloomy chasm Jun 13, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

Taking a look at it, it seems pretty nice. Is there anything you gotta do to use it with the editor? Also, is there a different repo to use now since the current one is archived? Or is it still good?
(I have never used something like it before)

onyx harness Jun 13, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

You just need to drop DLLs in there and it will scan them

#

I don't think the official repo is abandonned, is it?

#

I was using ILSpy first, then discovered dnSpy which has a much better UX and dark theme

#

For API search I use my NG Unity Versioner, for implementation I use dnSpy

#

using dnSpy will have a part in my tutorials

gloomy chasm Jun 13, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

onyx harness You just need to drop DLLs in there and it will scan them

Cool, I will check it out later.

ivory fulcrum Jun 14, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

Alright, I think I've made some progress. I can change the texture data just simply by using renderer.sprite.texture.SetPixels32() and then renderer.sprite.texture.Apply()

#

But the problem is that the object is still the original height and width, even though the underlying texture is now much smaller so it puts it in the bottom left of the rect instead of just making it the same size. Is there a way to resize a game object with a sprite renderer without messing with the "scale"?

#

Even if it's in world coordinates that would be fantastic

gloomy chasm Jun 14, 2021, 2:25 AM

#

ivory fulcrum But the problem is that the object is still the original height and width, even ...

Well if it has a sprite renderer it is on UI I assume so it has a RectTransform instead of a Transform component. So you edit that.

ivory fulcrum Jun 14, 2021, 2:29 AM

#

It does not, but I think I can add one?

gloomy chasm Jun 14, 2021, 2:31 AM

#

ivory fulcrum It does not, but I think I can add one?

You can. It will replace the Transform component.

ivory fulcrum Jun 14, 2021, 2:32 AM

Right I mean from the C#

gloomy chasm Jun 14, 2021, 2:32 AM

What?

ivory fulcrum Jun 14, 2021, 2:36 AM

Sorry, PrefabUtility

PrefabUtility.ApplyAddedComponent()

gloomy chasm Jun 14, 2021, 2:37 AM

#

AH

ivory fulcrum Jun 14, 2021, 2:38 AM

#

Yeah, because otherwise it's an "override"

#

So if later the user creates a prefab variant, it comes with that RectTransform

#

Not that I can think of when they would, but I do think the user would expect that behavior

#

Thank God for C# Idioms:

if (!renderer.gameObject.TryGetComponent<RectTransform>(out var newTransform)) 
  newTransform = renderer.gameObject.AddComponent<RectTransform>();

ivory fulcrum Jun 14, 2021, 3:10 AM

#

No that didn't quite work. I got a light gray block that was the full size of the original image. Not sure why.

#

Maybe I need to do the texture edit first and then the rect transform?

#

idk

#

Is there a way to change the size without a rect transform that I'm missing? like how does the importer set the size?

there is just some things in the editor script I'm working on that I want to save data to essentially so that it doesn't have to be regotten every time, but not put it onto what I'm creating a custom editor for to keep the code separated for my own personal preference. I know editor already extends scriptableobject

waxen sandal Jun 14, 2021, 3:42 PM

🤔

#

But why

#

You can handle it all on the C# side

opaque zenith Jun 14, 2021, 3:43 PM

without having it in the asset menu with regular assets

#

I don't necessarily like the route some people go where they do createassetmenu, create the SO, then comment it out lol

waxen sandal Jun 14, 2021, 3:44 PM

You can just do CreateAsset with a scriptableobject as item

opaque zenith Jun 14, 2021, 3:45 PM

#

Guess that's true. Could essentially put a section in the asset menu that is editor specific assets

#

I think I might go the route we were talking about earlier though, because I can put a check in the method to make sure only one of that scriptableobject exists

split bridge Jun 14, 2021, 3:46 PM

You could also just comment out the menu item once you've created an instance.

opaque zenith Jun 14, 2021, 3:47 PM

Yeah, I just don't like that route because it feels... uhhh how do I say this? Like a band-aid solution?

split bridge Jun 14, 2021, 3:48 PM

What you want to do is a little odd though right? You don't want to create assets through code, instead you want to create them via the UI.. but only for yourself, and then sometimes you don't want the menu option to be visible?

You may want to use something like this: https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScriptableSingleton_1.html
For my asset I do something similar and Create it via code if it doesn't exist. I think it's a fairly common pattern that if anything requires the data, that class is responsible for creating the asset with appropriate defaults.

opaque zenith Jun 14, 2021, 3:55 PM

split bridge You may want to use something like this: https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documen...

split bridge Jun 14, 2021, 3:56 PM

The most annoying part with those is (afaik) they require a static path. When making an asset where a user can freely move it around, you need to do more of the work yourself (but it isn't much).

waxen sandal Jun 14, 2021, 5:17 PM

gloomy chasm I looked up a bit but couldn't find your past conversation. Would you be willing...

SerializedProperties have a unsafeMode, it's just a property on the serializedproperty, it disables some checks like whether it's going out of bounds

If you're using the API correctly you shouldn't hit these checks so it's "safe" to enable

Which makes it 20% faster on a large project

I have just discovered the DrawGizmos attribute which should let me draw gizmos from an editor instead of from within a component, yay. The problem I'm running into is that Handles don't seem to be interactable from within the event, presumably because the Gizmos and Handles API are distinct 😫. I would just write the handle logic in MyCoolComponentEditor.OnSceneGUI, but I need them to be visible in the scene even when the object is not selected. I tried hooking into the SceneView.duringSceneGui delegate from the editor's OnEnable event function, but that requires you first select the object before the handles are always drawn. The key point here is that I need to use the Handles API, I need them to be interactable, and I need them to always draw. It's easy to draw gizmos always, but I cannot find a way to do it with handles 👍

not sure if i wanna FindObjectsOfType every tick just to make sure all available components are having their handles drawn tbh 😦
since gizmos have the ability to be drawn even when the object is not selected, I was hoping I was missing something simple that would allow the same for interactable handles, but if that's not in the cards I'll move on

@gloomy chasm @opaque zenith At least 40000 files, around ~200 scenes, 8000 complex scriptableobjects that have probably more than 300 valid serializedproperties and then all other assets and prefabs (which likely contain a similar amount)

Now that I have more insight of what you are doing, may I suggest you to implement a check by text?

waxen sandal Jun 15, 2021, 9:36 AM

#

You mean open the assets as text?

onyx harness Jun 15, 2021, 9:37 AM

#

SO is supposed to be the easier and quicker way.
But, maybe if done cleverly, loading an asset as text (when available of course) and deferring it in a job/thread might multiply your workforce and then only load the asset in a SO when required in the main thread.

waxen sandal Jun 15, 2021, 9:37 AM

Yeah I thought about that but it would mean a lot of rewriting and some things might not be as trivial to do

Checking whether references are valid, whether we're not accidentally referencing a texture that should be in a spritesheet, whether the prefab is disconnected, and probably more

#

Then we also have a bunch of things for specific components, asset bundles, attributes that denote whether a property is required etc...

onyx harness Jun 15, 2021, 9:46 AM

OK I see, well my conclusion is by text is potentially better

waxen sandal Jun 15, 2021, 9:47 AM

Oh, giving good errors is probably harder by text as well since you'll have to figure out what object it belongs too etc...

thank you for looking at this, those two links describe the problem -- if you rotate using the rotatearoundpivot it is clipping to the original rect (which obviously cuts off part of the image if it's not a square)

I think the way to "fix" it would probably just be to draw it to a new texture and then try and rotate that before drawing it, but it's just a pain. No worries if you don't find anything thanks for checking!

There is an internal class called GUIClip and it has .Clip(...) and .Unclicp(...) methods. This is just a guess, but you maybe could try calling one of those before/after your 'draw' methods(s)?

@gleaming adder And just because I had it up. This is the code for the RotAndPivot if that helps.

            Matrix4x4 mat = GUI.matrix;
            GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.identity;
            Vector2 point = GUIClip.Unclip(pivotPoint);
            Matrix4x4 newMat =  Matrix4x4.TRS(point, Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angle), Vector3.one) * Matrix4x4.TRS(-point, Quaternion.identity, Vector3.one);

In UITK I have an container with flex direction row. It has three children, the first two have set width while the last is a text field set to flex grow.
It seems the field is growing the the full width of the parent container, and completely ignoring that some of the width is taken up by the other two elements, so it goes offer screen. Any ideas why it does this, and more importantly how to fix it?

I'm not familiar with uitk elements yet, but, I'm confused by the wording what you have set to prevent the textfield from doing that? For example, you might want to make another parent for the textfield itself

It should automatically not go beyond the bounds of it's parent unless the position or margin is explicitly changed so that it does. I think it is just a matter of finding the right combination of styles.
It makes sense once you are familiar with UITK.

#

Flex grow should just grow it to take up the the available space in it's parent, but for some reason it is not registering that the other two fields are in-fact taking some of that space up.

Is it possible to start an editor coroutine that persists domain reload? I'm a noob when it comes to build pipelines, but we're trying to make a routine that runs our build operation. The issue I'm running into is I think the coroutine is getting wiped when unity recompiles for a new build target and the domain is reloaded. This seems like something most build pipeline ppl probably have to work around, does unity provide anything to help in this matter? Or does the build operation need to get chunked up into distinct pre-build, post-build logic?

tldr: can I use an editor coroutine to author my build pipeline flow without the domain reload associated with recompiling for different platforms killing it?

You can't.

Use EditorPrefs ou SessionState

#

Write a kind of serializable coroutine

Serialize it in the SessionState.
When it reloads, check SS if anything is available, boom deserialize then proceed

Nope, ScriptableObject derives from UnityEngine.Object

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 3:22 PM

#

No, I'm saying the script at root game object is a script that derives from MonoBehaviour

I am honestly not sure what you are talking about now.

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 3:23 PM

Create a game object, save it as an asset, then open the asset and add game objects to it. Assign a monobehaviour script to the root game object, and you have what I have

Alright, that is called a prefab.

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 3:25 PM

ahhhh

#

yeah, I goofed, it ends in .prefab

#

ok. I'm barking up the wrong tree

Anyways there's still a m_Icon you can set

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 3:29 PM

#

Is the ObjectPreview the thumbnail?

gloomy chasm Jun 17, 2021, 3:38 PM

#

ivory fulcrum Is the ObjectPreview the thumbnail?

Here is what each one gets you.

#

Pick what gets the result you want.

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 3:39 PM

#

I guess the MiniThumbnail, but if I use that method to get it, can I change it?

#

like if I overwrite the pixels, and then apply, will that change the icon?

#

or would I want the cached icon?

onyx harness Jun 17, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

probably cant on most

gloomy chasm Jun 17, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

Yeah, and even if you can, I feel like that isn't a good thing to do. Using reflection to set m_Icon is probably what you want to do.

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 3:48 PM

#

So, as far as reflecting, is that in "GameObject" or "MonoBehaviour" or "Object"?

ivory fulcrum Jun 17, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

Also, what type is m_Icon?

#

Wait... is m_Icon part of SerializedObject?

hey guys, is there a way to draw a debug label in world coordinates, without adding any object to the actual scene? I'm trying Handles.Label but it seems to be only in regards to the camera?

You can convert world point to screen/viewport point

MechWarrior99: I'm having trouble finding m_Icon. I'm not sure if it's part of SerializedObject/SerializedProperty, or Object, or MonoBehaviour, or what it's part of. Do you know where it is that I'm looking for it?

SerializedObject/SerializedProperty only let you access data that is serialized, so it wouldn't be there.
It is a member of Object if memory serves. You should be able to access it via reflection or from the serializedobject.

That is the expected behavior. nameof(...) basically just converts whatever text is between the parenthesizes to a string. What you want instead is T.GetType().Name

What is it that is the problem...? I gave you the solution I thought... you use the sceneview camera to convert from a worldspace point to a screen space point and use that for the position of the Handles.Label.

Oh btw, I figured out how to search for and hide fields in the inspector based on their label. However I decided to put it on the "Maybe I will come back to this at some point" burner because the only way to do it is to set the target for the IMGUI Debugger, than get the draw/other commands.
But I also crashed unity 3 times while doing, and it seems rather unstable... Also of course doesn't work with UITK so would need another system for that.

Why do you say that? I think it is just an O(n) search regardless. I could be be wrong though.

I should have been more specific. If dealing with multiple assets with the same name, same type, etc... It is just another way to distinguish results. So been debating creating them for extra precautions when using things that can potentially have multiple of the same values

Doing so in pure UIT is much easier, as you can pick the container and hide it

gloomy chasm Jun 17, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

onyx harness Doing so in pure UIT is much easier, as you can pick the container and hide it

Yeah! Only difficult part would be having to backtrack from the label to find the actual control to hide/show.

Looking at playing around with LockReloadAssemblies if I'm creating and removing assets, is the creating of changing of a script the only time I need to actually have an assembly reloaded?

waxen sandal Jun 17, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

Or deleting or moving

#

But it won't trigger so no need to lock them yourself unless you're doing something with code gen or something

opaque zenith Jun 17, 2021, 8:43 PM

I keep getting scared to ask things like this. This works, but, is this a good way of writing something like this?
