[pure siren]

Okay thanks, and how can I set the new added value?

[gloomy chasm]

And you just do

events.arraySize++;
var element = events.GetArrayElementAtIndex(events.arraySize - 1);
element.managedReferenceValue = new MoveCamaeraEvent();

[pure siren]

Okay thanks will give it a shot! I really appreciate your help!

[gloomy chasm]

Np! Make sure to Apply the modified properties either in the main loop or after adding the element.

Btw, are you just using the EventType enum for the editor?

[pure siren]

Yes!

[pure siren]

Is there a better way I'm missing?

[gloomy chasm]

Better way to do what?

[pure siren]

to distinguish the types of subclasses

[gloomy chasm]

System.Type 😛

[pure siren]

How can I know how many subclasses there are though?

[gloomy chasm]

TypeCache.GetTypesDerivedFrom<AgileEvent>()

[pure siren]

Holy shit no way, I guess I need to read up on types

[gloomy chasm]

That is a Unity class, but yeah. Types are very nice.

[pure siren]

Interesting, do you know of a way in a non unity environment too?

[gloomy chasm]

Yeah, you would just iterate over all of the types in the assembly iirc. There are a couple of answers on Stackoverflow related to this topic, so a quick google search should give you more info on it 🙂

[pure siren]

Really cool, never would have thought. Thanks a ton!

[onyx harness]

AppDomain

Assembly

Type (is subclass of AgileEvent)

Look up for them in this order

[muted cave]

what value do I need, to read from a SerializedProperty when it is a custom class?

[pure siren]

Ahh but managedReference is only write like you said, so I can't read the type. I see objectReferenceValue is both, should I just make AgileEvent inherit from Object?

[gloomy chasm]

You can use managedReferenceType, or fullType for that (property name may not be exact, but will get you close). You cannot inherit from UnityEngine.Object, best you can do is inherit from ScriptableObject, but that has other implications that you need to worry about for this use-case.

[gloomy chasm]

Can't. Just use .FindReletiveProperty to get the field that you want.

[muted cave]

y I was hoping I could get the class as a whole

[pure siren]

do you mean managedReferenceFullTypename? Also I'm getting this error when trying to set the managedReferenceValue

InvalidOperationException: Attempting to set the managed reference value on a SerializedProperty that is set to a 'PPtr<$AgileEvent>'

[gloomy chasm]

Yeah, there are two properties for the type and I don't remember the exact difference. I think one is the field type and the other is the value type.
Did ya add the [SerializeReference] attribute?

[pure siren]

Yeah to the AgileEvent[] events

[gloomy chasm]

Okay, show that code (just in case) and the code for where you are setting it.

[pure siren]

using Agile.Events;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Agile.Events
{
    public class AgileEventManager : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeReference]
        public AgileEvent[] events;
    }
}

private void AddDropdownCallback(Rect buttonRect, ReorderableList list)
{
    var menu = new GenericMenu();

    foreach (Type t in TypeCache.GetTypesDerivedFrom<AgileEvent>())
    {
        menu.AddItem(new GUIContent(t.ToString()), false, () => { AddItem(list); });
    }

    menu.ShowAsContext();
}

private void AddItem(ReorderableList list)
{
    events.arraySize++;
    var element = events.GetArrayElementAtIndex(events.arraySize - 1);
    element.managedReferenceValue = new MoveCameraEvent();
    serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
}

[gloomy chasm]

That looks good except for the using Agile.Events; namespace. No harm, just not needed. That is of course very beside the point though 😛

[pure siren]

Ohh yeah I forgot to take that out when I added the class to the namespace lol

[gloomy chasm]

Hmmm... it looks okay... though something does feel off...

[pure siren]

Omg I forgot I tried to inherit from Object before I asked and didn't remove it hold on

It works!!

Awesome, just gotta get the types working now

[gloomy chasm]

That is what was off! The PPtr is for Object type properties.

[pure siren]

Yeah that's literally what made me double check when you said something felt off lol

[muted cave]

For some reason I can't drag anything into the lower field "Data". It's for a scriptableObject

this is how I create it:

the GameObject field works fine

[gloomy chasm]

Maybe you are setting it somewhere else?

[muted cave]

I got it working now

[tough stream]

Hi!
https://pastebin.com/grPGEEcf
I've been drawing this custom list for a while now; it's cute, but i just realised i can't modify any elements from it 🤡
Anyone has an idea?
(On this pastebin, you'd want to watch from line 214, it's the beginning of the lists' callbacks. I'd like to be able to edit characterShowingPrefab, AnimationType and Comment, but, can't seem to be able to do that lol)

[tough stream]

(don't mind the things that might be going out of sync, i'm on it right now 🤡 )

[tough stream]

oh, forgot my incantation again

ahem
Oh my lord and savior, Navi, i beg you, come and help my lost soul amongst thy filthy editor extensions, may your guidance help me to find redemption and peace

[waxen sandal]

🙄

[onyx harness]

You need to answer your herd

[visual stag]

No gifs. Being obnoxious via text was bad enough

[tough stream]

sorry, sorry

[rose abyss]

how can I draw a bezier curve in an editor window?

handles doesn't really work because its meant to be used in the scene view so it gives an error every time it updates and can't find the camera

[onyx harness]

And with BeginGUI()?

[rose abyss]

what do you mean by that?

[onyx harness]

Handles.BeginGUI()

Have you tried drawing between Begin/End?

[rose abyss]

yeah I am

nvm I found the issue it was something else entirely

[pure siren]

I'm trying to change the heights of my ReordableList once one is selected to expand the space. It is working great, the only problem is that an item sometimes get reordered when clicking it and releasing the mouse.

I think its related to the drag, though the drag callback isn't being called when this happens. But I can clearly see an item get reordered sometimes when the mouse is let go

What's weird is that when I screen capture it, my mouse is not showing where I clicked

I clicked on the very last item, yet the screen recording and possibly unity thinks my mouse is somewhere else

Has anyone seen this before?

@gloomy chasm

[gloomy chasm]

I suspect it would have to do with how you are selecting/expanding it.

Also, I wouldn't do it the way you are from UX perspective. Selecting an item to see it's values is not very intuitive and also inconvenient if you want to see multiple values at once.

[pure siren]

In the elementHeightCallback if list.index equals the parameters index then I change the height

[pure siren]

I guess I can make dropdowns inside the items and resize the height that way, if dropdowns are possible

I just see it getting very long

[gloomy chasm]

Do you mean foldouts?

[pure siren]

Yeah sorry

[gloomy chasm]

That is what I would do.

[pure siren]

Okay cool thanks!

[pure siren]

@gloomy chasm Thanks again for all of your help, everything is so much cleaner now by referencing types and using foldouts.

[gloomy chasm]

Oh, sure thing! Glad I could help!

[pure siren]

The foldouts are getting reset, because I'm keeping track of their states in the editor script. Would serializing an array on the class itself solve this?

Like when I click off of the object and back onto it

[gloomy chasm]

Nope, no need! SerializedProperties have a handly isExpanded property 😄

Just get/set the foldout state from that property.

[pure siren]

I'm not sure I'm following

[gloomy chasm]

Well right now you have something like foldoutStates[i] = EditorGUILayout.Foldout(foldoutStates[i]); right?

[pure siren]

Yes

[gloomy chasm]

Right so you just do elementProperty.isExpanded = EditorGUILayout.Foldout(elementProperty.isExpanded); and make sure to do serializedProperty.ApplyModifiedProperties(); at some point to save the state.

[pure siren]

Ohh I see, I'd be setting it too

Neat!

[gloomy chasm]

Yeah!

[pure siren]

Also do you know what the difference between EditorGUI and EditorGUILayout is?

Currently I'm using EditorGUI

[gloomy chasm]

Simple, EditorGUI requires you to specify the rect that it uses in the editor/screen, while EditorGUIlayout uses the automatic layout system to determine where the controls should be shown, it is basically a wrapper around EditorGUI.

Note that you cannot use EditorGUILayout in all cases. For example it cannot be used in PropertyDrawers, and shouldn't be used to draw the items of a ReorderableList

[pure siren]

Thanks I thought it was doing something like that, and yeah I tried it for the ReordableList but it just puts the fields under it.

[lapis rose]

is it possible to set the scene view to use my entire URP camera stack?

[silver hull]

So I’m learning about custom windows is there any tutorials around to teach how to make sub tabs? For one tool

[gloomy chasm]

What do you mean by camera stack? I don't think you can make the scene view render with multiple cameras.

[gloomy chasm]

I don't know of any but a google search may come up with some.

[silver hull]

I could try trying to learn about waypoint editors lol

[gloomy chasm]

Tabs are relatively easy to do, basically just have a list of bools, and a toggle for each one, if you toggle one on you loop through and toggle all of the others off, and you show different controls/content depending on which bool is toggled on.

[lapis rose]

i have a camera thats handling particle systems and such because reasons but it has to be in play mode for them to actually render so i can't see how they look while i'm modifying them

[silver hull]

Alright ill keep that in mind thanks 🙂

[gloomy chasm]

Ehh? They should still show up in the sceneview. Do you have the particles toggle on in the sceneview window?

[lapis rose]

yes, they show up when they're on layers being rendered by the base camera, but not by the overlay camera

thats a camera stack FYI

[gloomy chasm]

Oh, what version did they add that in, is it a SRP thing or am I just ignorant?

Well, you could try adding the stack to the sceneview camera, idk if it would work though.

[lapis rose]

its a URP thing

i just learned about it today lol

example of my issue

scene view on the left

where do i access scene view camera?

i only see the little drop down but it doesn't have settings for switching cameras at all

[gloomy chasm]

Need to do it in code, using SceneView.lastActiveSceneView.camera.

I would honestly go ask on the URP forums about this as there may be a built-in way to handle this properly.

[bold skiff]

I think this is the right place for this question. I'm want a simple popup that has 2 options. Message being
"This parameter already exists. Override?"
[Yes] [No]
But I don't know how to do this

[gloomy chasm]

You would use EditorWindow for that.

[terse lagoon]

Anyone know how to access these variables via C# script? I've been looking around in PlayerSettings but can't find anything

EDIT: Note this is using 2020.3 LTS

[gloomy chasm]

Looks like if you just add the file for the option it automatically gets checked on.

At least that is what someone on Unity Answers said worked for them 😛

[terse lagoon]

But you can untick the checkbox and the file remains and is not used. hmmmm. Can you link me to the unity answers thread

Yeah I might create and editor script that manually creates the files

[gloomy chasm]

https://answers.unity.com/questions/1581150/enable-custom-gradle-template-from-script.html
https://answers.unity.com/questions/1319231/gradle-file-for-unity.html

[terse lagoon]

You're a legend :D

[terse lagoon]

If you were curious I just found out that it actually renames the file when you disable it

[gloomy chasm]

Cool, good to know. Thanks 🙂

[waxen sandal]

@onyx harness any chance for a different color on Protected?

[onyx harness]

Oh, gimme one, I'll change it

[waxen sandal]

Cheers

[onyx harness]

Better now?

[waxen sandal]

Yep, looks great

Thanks

[pure siren]

I'm getting the following error when entering playmode sometimes,
Could not udpate a managed instance value at property path 'events.Array.data[4]', with value '14'

Could I be applying modified properties in a wrong location?

[gloomy chasm]

Yes, you are trying to set a managedReferenceValue to an int.

[pure siren]

Hmm

Maybe I messed something up

[gloomy chasm]

Yes.

Show the list/array and where you are setting it and I can tell you what. 🙂

[pure siren]

Do you mean where I'm adding items to the list/array?

[gloomy chasm]

No, I mean where you are setting the value of the array element.

[pure siren]

I'm only setting the value of the array element when I add an item,

private void AddItem(ReorderableList list, Type t)
{
    events.arraySize++;
            
    var element = events.GetArrayElementAtIndex(events.arraySize - 1);

    element.managedReferenceValue = Activator.CreateInstance(t);
            
    serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
}

[gloomy chasm]

Hmm... does the error take you to the error line by chance?

[pure siren]

No that's the weird part

And its only in play mode

[gloomy chasm]

No really, the error is happening on the C++ side so a lot of the SerializedProperty errors don't take you to the C# code sadly.

[gloomy chasm]

Are you sure it doesn't happen on recompile?

[pure siren]

I don't get any errors when I recompile if that's what you are asking

[gloomy chasm]

Only entering playmode?

[pure siren]

Yes

If I disable the script and enter playmode, there are no errors. And if I reenable the script and enter playmode there are still no errors. But if I enter play mode again when the script is enabled still then the errors come back

[gloomy chasm]

What about if you don't have the object with the script selected (so it isn't shown in the editor)?

[pure siren]

Still get the errors if its not selected

[gloomy chasm]

Is there any more info in the error?

[pure siren]

Could it be my non editor script accessing the array to early?

[pure siren]

Sadly no

Gonna restart unity

[gloomy chasm]

Shouldn't. You can try disabling your custom editor just to make sure that is the problem, but I am quite sure it is.

[pure siren]

So I disabled the editor script, and the errors are still showing. They also show when I load the scene in the editor

[gloomy chasm]

Well.. have fun tracking it down 😛

[pure siren]

Thanks for trying!

[pure siren]

Apparently it was because the object was a prefab

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/prefab-changes-are-not-applied-and-an-error-occurs-when-changing-fields-that-have-serializereference-attribute

Although I'm in 2020.1.8 and it says its fixed...

Yeah so if its a prefab and there any changes to the order of the list without applying the prefab overrides this error occurs. I would assume 2020.1.X would include 2020.1.8 but maybe not?

Nevermind in the notes it says 2020.1.11 it was fixed

[spice sun]

Hi
I am always having massive problems with this whenever setting up a pc and none of the answers on google seems to work. I cant remember how i made the c#-extension (Or solution explorer) for Vs-code work with Unity Projects. Does anyone have some expertise on this? 🙂

[gloomy chasm]

Wondering if there are a couple of people who could take a look at my editor asset for me to let me know if it works good for them. If they run in to any bugs, or things that don't work how they would expect.

The tool lets you make collections of assets so you can find them easier and in a more organize way, and you are able to have assets in multiple collections at once.

[half scroll]

little confused why the slider is locked using this code

EditorGUILayout.IntSlider(stackData.FindPropertyRelative("m_amount"), 1, stackSize);

[gloomy chasm]

Do you apply modified properties?

[half scroll]

oh, no i forgot that lol thanks 🙂

its working with that 🙂

[half scroll]

In unity int fields when you modify them their value only updates when the int field loses focus for example in array size field u don't want it to update as u're typing. how can i replicate this?

[gloomy chasm]

It is called a delay field.

[half scroll]

ohhh thanks tried searching for it but guess it was the wrong search term

[vast garnet]

Is it possible to draw a texture and slap it on in a custom property drawer?

Like so

[gloomy chasm]

GUI.DrawTexture 😉

Or do you mean create/generate a texture?

[vast garnet]

where the texture is generated within the property drawer...

[gloomy chasm]

You would create a Texture2D and set pixels and then apply.

https://answers.unity.com/questions/9919/how-do-i-create-a-texture-dynamically-in-unity.html

[vast garnet]

how lovely

[thin remnant]

I have a Dictionary<string,objects> which holds variables, for each one i want to create a Numeric field in a UI I have created, how do i do this without having to manually create them?

[rigid locust]

Hello. Can anyone tell how I can either set a minimum width to the Project Browser? or if it is even possible?

[pure siren]

If you still need someone to check it out, I'd be happy to mess around with it later today

[onyx harness]

Get the window, set minSize

[ivory fulcrum]

in OnGUI, use a foreach loop on the dictionary and render the data in the dictionary using a "text field", I recommend saving each string in a List<String> and then if the string in the list is different from the one in the dictionary, convert the list string into int and then apply it to the dictionary. Then in "GetPropertyHeight" add, Dictionary.Length * EditorGUIUtility.SingleLineHeight to the total height returned.

[waxen sandal]

GetWindow has a desiredDockNextTo parameter, just pass scene view there

You mean the bool in the menuitem?

It's to define validate methods, it lets you disable/enable your menu item depending on if it makes sense in the current context

[tough stream]

Hi! I've got a problem with my custom window and my "save changes" button, for one of my scripts. i've recorded a little video to show: It's doing some unintended overwriting, somehow. At first, it was just erasing links between objects, but now it's doing weird things.
http://pastie.org/p/0z0fo1tKy5EIs3xMkjzmqI
Here's the code, the save changes button is L206
I guess i need a "setDirty" somewhere? I don't really know how that works lol

[waxen sandal]

Are you mixing SOs and direct object modification?

[tough stream]

possibly...?
I mean i have other windows that modify SO's, this one modifies prefabs

the "Leaves" and the "Tree" are monobehaviors

-> scripts on prefabs

[raw pecan]

good practice is to not save a lot data in prefabs instead save this in SO and only reference this one so in prefab instead of saving this list directly in prefab.

[waxen sandal]

Mixing SOs and direect modification is tricky

Since one will override the other if not handled correctly

[raw pecan]

Put Leaves into SO and it should work correctly.

[tough stream]

oooh okay

in my head SOs were Scriptable objects

[raw pecan]

Because they are 😉 Idk what you understand?

[waxen sandal]

Because they're serializedobjects

[tough stream]

that's what i thought lol

[tough stream]

Modified and commented my code, will be less painfull to help me lol:
https://pastebin.com/FnZkxzYL
Around L253, you might be coming across things i understood:
I was using both "Leaves" and "pLeavesWindow", but thing is pLeavesWindow = ThisSo.FindProperty("Leaves")... Basically.
So yeah, now my save changes button doesn't work one bit. Why?

[waxen sandal]

You just reassigned a variable, you probably meant to copy the data into it

[tough stream]

L253? Well yeah...?

i want pLeaves (which is my destination where i want to save the leaves), to take the values of pLeavesWindow.
Do i need to iterate through those lists?

oh

it's .objectReferenceValue again, right?

wups, nvm

well, i did iterate through, and it seems like it works like a charm. Thanks!

You'll be in our special Thanks, Navi

and in first place

with all you did for me

[waxen sandal]

What are you even making?

[fast falcon]

So... I used AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(image.texture, "Assets/Resources/Images/test.png") where image is a RawImage
For some reason the result is:
Could not create asset from "Assets/Resources/Images/test.png": file could not be read
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

It's the first time I use AssetDatabase.CreateAsset btw

Does anyone know how to fix this?

(Ping me when you answer so I get notified)

[near vale]

You typed image.texrure instead of image.texture. It's a shot in the dark but typo's can be pesky.

[fast falcon]

Sorry didn't realise it.
Anyway it's not the problem cuz I typed it wrong here only

[near vale]

ok! let's keep looking then

Have you also tried image.mainTexture?

Should not make a difference but you never know

[tough stream]

hey, i'm under NDA my guy 👀
But here's the reaction of my "boss" (we work horizontally, but everyone calls them boss, it annoys them) when i asked them if we could put you into special thanks:
"Good idea! 🙂
Thanks them for me!!"

[waxen sandal]

Alright cool, let me know when you have something to show

[tough stream]

sure! :)

[fast falcon]

Hi

How to make EditorUtility work in build?

(Or if you can't what other way is there to use it's stuff like EditorUtility.OpenFilePath and others)

[stark geyser]

They are in editor space because they use Editor's access to API to do those things. If you want to access folders outside of the application default permissions you need your own or third party implementation using API directly for that (which would be specific for every platform)

[fast falcon]

Oh

Thanks for your time

[stark geyser]

@fast falcon One example of third party tool like that. https://github.com/mlabbe/nativefiledialog

Hello there, has anyone ever tried to lets say "override " the play button in editor i want to add some functionality just before pressing play in editor mode?

[idle tree]

I'm trying to add a new Hierarchy menu item to create one of my game objects. I got the menu item entry added, but I can't find the syntax to spawn copies of the object. The example code spawns a new GameObject, but I want to spawn the prefab I have in Resources/Prefabs/Item

  GameObject go = new GameObject("Object Name"); // Their code
 GameObject thing = Resources.Load<GameObject>("Prefabs/Item"); // What I would like to spawn

I tried to plug mine into Go, but when run all it does is select that object in the project window

[main yacht]

you might have to rebuild the project files. should be in prefrences -> external editors

[placid dragon]

and im assuming click this?

stuff like this arent auto completing either

These are the extensions installedf

[main yacht]

yup

i dont know, that fixed that issue for me

[placid dragon]

fixed it

had to download this extension

weird how it doesnt work straight of the bat

[waxen sandal]

Yes

[gloomy chasm]

This is actually for binding to a array, and there is naming from my tool and the USS files can be cleaned up. But it should get you like 90+% of the way there. I hope it helps.

You have to make it yourself

Does anyone know why Unity would suddenly pause the editor upon assert?
It wasn't doing it until this morning and I have no clue what happened (did not change unity, restarted it as sometimes this fixes issues)
The only thing coming to mind is Visual Studio. Turned off Exception support and still the same.

[waxen sandal]

Error pause

[waxen panther]

man, been looking long time for why this happens and it was so simple. Thank you.

[oak cradle]

Hi, I have a problem, when I'm adding EditorUtility.SetDirty(script); , I can't save scene. When I press ctrl S nothing happens.
Unity starts infinite saving loop

I tried Undo.RecordObject(); but the changes reset when you click play

[waxen sandal]

There's a set scene dirty somewhere that might help you

Not sure about that infinite loop though

[oak cradle]

I'm only pressing ctrl S

[waxen sandal]

try this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EditorApplication.MarkSceneDirty.html

[oak cradle]

wow, this method is obsolete, but... it worked! Thanks!

[waxen sandal]

Oh there's probably one in editor scene manager

[oak cradle]

Yes, there is EditorSceneManager.MarkSceneDirty(scene); and EditorSceneManager.MarkAllScenesDirty(); but they don't work

Hm, EditorApplication.MarkSceneDirty(); works only for not active scene.

[waxen sandal]

@gloomy chasm So uhh about your array drawer https://i.imgur.com/t8tXxQs.png

[gloomy chasm]

Did you apply all the style sheets?

[waxen sandal]

oh yeah maybe not 🤔

[gloomy chasm]

Also, did you change any of the names of the uss class, either in the USS or in the C# files?

[waxen sandal]

Nope

It's probably the styles

[gloomy chasm]

Did you get it working?

[waxen sandal]

Haven't actually tried, got busy with other things

https://i.imgur.com/WjAieKP.png

Hmm, not perfect smhw

Also how does re-ordering work?

Ah I need to add the manipulator

[gloomy chasm]

Yeah, it could definitively be better. I am working on a package for 'advanced' elements, and I will include a more refined version of this in it.
Going to have stuff like rename-able label, searchable popup, add component style dropdown, grid view, reorderable list, etc.

[waxen sandal]

Ah nice

I really don't understand why there's no default reorderable list

[gloomy chasm]

Right!? I think that is really the only control they are really missing that is used frequently in IMGUI.

Still annoys me that the UIElements Debugger isn't made with UITK 😛

(Or the QuickSearch window for that matter)

[waxen sandal]

Part of the dbuegger is now

Was giong to reuse their list but alas it's IMGUI

[gloomy chasm]

Oh really? That's nice at least. Too bad their TreeView is still internal... for reasons...

[steady crest]

what is the correct USS property to tint the background of a button? nothing seems to work

trying to use the pseudo event in a USS file to create a tint on hover state but none of the properties seem to work

[gloomy chasm]

background-color:

[steady crest]

that didnt rly seem to do anything weirdly enough

even full green and nothing

[gloomy chasm]

In order for your style to override a default style it needs to have a higher specificity.

[steady crest]

it helps if you enable the stylesheet...

[opaque zenith]

I'm looking at trying to expand my read only attribute from what most basic guides do and wondering the route you guys would take. If SerializedPropertyType doesn't already have a type you can use in it, do you breakdown whatever type into a type that it has, or, create a custom drawer? For example, a custom class with a vector3, float, bool in it. Would you rather just do the SerializedPropertyType for each of those or?

[gloomy chasm]

Given the context of extending the ReadOnlyAttribute, how does SerializedPropertyType relate to that?

[opaque zenith]

I'm not sure if this ReadOnlyAttribute works the same as the things I found online, but,

[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(ReadOnlyAttribute))]
public class ReadOnlyDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
    public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty prop, GUIContent label)
    {
        string valueStr;

        switch (prop.propertyType)
        {
            case SerializedPropertyType.AnimationCurve:
                valueStr = prop.animationCurveValue.ToString();
                break;
            case SerializedPropertyType.ArraySize:
                valueStr = prop.arraySize.ToString();
                break;
            case SerializedPropertyType.Boolean:
                valueStr = prop.boolValue.ToString();
                break;
            case SerializedPropertyType.Bounds:
                valueStr = prop.boundsValue.ToString();
                break;
            case SerializedPropertyType.BoundsInt:
                valueStr = prop.boundsIntValue.ToString();
                break;

as an example of what I'm doing

[gloomy chasm]

Ehh, why are you getting a string value? Do you just display it in a label?

[opaque zenith]

basically. And not sure, I'm fairly new to PropertyDrawers and this is just what I found online on for creating readonly attribute

[gloomy chasm]

What I do is just disable it...

[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(ReadOnlyAttribute))]
public class ReadOnlyDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
    public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty prop, GUIContent label)
    {
      GUI.enable = false;
      base.OnGUI(position, prop, label);
      GUI.enable = true;
  }
}

[opaque zenith]

I'm doing some more mesh manipulation things, and, I want to have one area to allow editing of these value, but, not necessarily allow editing of that value somewhere else, but still make it viewable. Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach

[opaque zenith]

oh okay, let me try this out. This may actually help with another question I had haha

[gloomy chasm]

I can't remember if you call base, or you do EditorGUI.PropertyField but I think base.

[opaque zenith]

this is giving the correct info, but, also what looks to be No GUI Implemented combined with it

[gloomy chasm]

I just looked and this is what I do and it works for me.

public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label)
    {
        using (new EditorGUI.DisabledGroupScope(true))
        {
            base.OnGUI(position, property, label);
        }
    }

[gloomy chasm]

What version of Unity and do you have anything else that could be messing with it?

[opaque zenith]

2020.3.13f1 and let me see

does it matter at all this in the inspector?

and not an editor window?

[gloomy chasm]

Maybe they changed the default implementation. Try using a EditorGUI.PropertyField

[opaque zenith]

aha! Perfect. Also helps with some other things I was wanting to do with this readonly also

[waxen sandal]

Pretty sure it's been no gui implemented for a while

[warm lotus]

i've seen some assets have a boolean variable in the inspector that reveals another variable when toggled, how can i replicate this?

[waxen sandal]

Custom editor that just cehcks whether it's toggled and if so draws something

[whole steppe]

Hey guys, is there a way to apply a ContextMenuItem attribute to each element of an array?

when I try to right click in the inspector there's no additional options in the context menu

[median ravine]

is it possible to make a custom selector for folders just like how Unity makes a filed to input game objects?

[opaque zenith]

Multiple routes you can take for this, but, one is to try EditorGUILayout.ObjectField in your editor script

[median ravine]

cool thanks!

[warm lotus]

how do i draw a reorderable list? i get this error on list.DoLayoutList();

[gloomy chasm]

Did you set the data list?

[warm lotus]

list = new ReorderableList(serializedObject, cols, true, true, true, true);

alright i got it

I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE IT

i just set the serialized property to the wrong variable

and it gave me the error

[warm lotus]

how do i remove this header?

from a reorderable list

[warm lotus]

oh yes thank you

[gloomy chasm]

Uh, so UITK events are not triggered if the window is in a tab in a window and not being shown... is there a callback for when a window was not shown but now is?

[median ravine]

would it be better to make an Editor folder with all my custom editor scripts? or could i just make the editor script at the bottom of the script im editing and add the #if UNITY_EDITOR tag?

[whole steppe]

I have a problem with pro builder where there is a mesh but it is not visible

[median ravine]

no material on it?

[whole steppe]

default material

[median ravine]

try adding a custom material on it and see if that does anything

[whole steppe]

ok

still not visible in scene after i added the test material

there is supposed to be a path

[median ravine]

did you drag the test material into the material box for the mesh collider? if not try doing that

[whole steppe]

ok

[median ravine]

oh, also see if your object has no 0 on the XYZ axis'. could be flat on one of those

[whole steppe]

the mesh collider slot is for physics material

[median ravine]

hu

not sure to be honest

[wintry frigate]

just wanted to show you guys what an eloquent editor extension looks like

[whole steppe]

the mesh slot is filled but can't find the mesh when i click on it

[gloomy chasm]

1000% use the Editor folder for editor only scripts.

[median ravine]

will do thanks!

[lilac canyon]

I am making a 3d tilemap editing system from scratch where all the tiles are currently just unique prefabs, and I am having trouble with how I want to reference and store the prefabs. Right now I have a folder in my Resources folder called "tiles", and it is full of my tile prefabs. I want my system to work both in the editor and in the game, so I need to be able to detect when the contents of that folder are changed so that I can add/remove tile selection buttons in my tile palette/painter window. How can I detect when a tile prefab is added or removed in the editor? Is the Resources folder even the right way to go with this type of thing?

[lilac canyon]

I just added a refresh button and it is good enough so long as I'm not planning to sell this thing haha.

[gloomy chasm]

You can use AssetPostprocessor with the message OnPostprocessAllAssets(string[] importedAssets, string[] deletedAssets, string[] movedAssets, string[] movedFromAssetPaths)

You can then check the path to see if it is in your resources folder. This is of course editor only.

[lilac canyon]

Cool.

In build it is easy to know when the player might create a new tile so I'm all set. Thanks @gloomy chasm

[gloomy chasm]

Sure thing!

[whole steppe]

can't see the mesh

[sick pulsar]

Hi all. Can anyone think of a way to... be able to select multiple objects in the hierarchy and convert that selection to all light maps that those objects are occupying? I want to be able to adjust compression settings for the light maps on a per object basis and I have many many objects in the scene. Currently, it seems you can only select the object and then click the light map preview to highlight the light map in the project window, which will then allow you to change the settings for that given object.

[waxen sandal]

Are you asking how to create an extension to do that or how to do that in the UI?

[warm lotus]

im trying to replicate the "length" field in reorderable arrays, and its working very well and im happy with the result, but it updates the list instantly instead of waiting for the mouse to focus out of it, is there a way to do that? i dont know what this term is so i cant google it

[waxen sandal]

DelayedIntField?

Or you can just use PropertyField on array.array_size iirc

[warm lotus]

that works, thank you

[earnest drift]

I'm having issues with using ILPostProcessor. It seems that the assemblies are compiling my changes, I can see them using a decompiler. But the engine doesn't load the changed assemblies until it's restarted.

[kind monolith]

hey, I'm trying to create an app that can do stuff with an API and I'm having issues understanding how to integrate that into Unity
firstly, is this the right place to ask?

[waxen sandal]

If your goal is to extend the unity editor then yes otherwise no

Also your question has no substance

[kind monolith]

extend... somewhat

[kind monolith]

what do you mean?

I mean, I would've explained further if I got the confirmation that indeed this is the channel

so, I've just downloaded the NuGet of the API I need to work with (YouTube) and the script itself doesn't give me any errors, but Unity doesn't seem to like that

it gives me an error saying it can't find the namespace
strangely enough there's not much documentation of this I could find online

[waxen sandal]

Unity doesnt support nuget

[kind monolith]

well, heck

hmmm
is there nothing that can be done then?

[waxen sandal]

I mean that there's so little information that it's hard to give an answer

[kind monolith]

any other way to circumvent this

[waxen sandal]

You can copy the dlls from the nuget and put them in unity

[kind monolith]

oh

[waxen sandal]

But there's no guarantee that it'll work on all platforms

[kind monolith]

I've found some things related to this being a bit buggy

because the dlls may have similar or equal names

and that may mess with unity

[kind monolith]

so I guess that's a possible next step

as of now I must go but I may let you know what happens when I try it

bye and thanks for this small part

[opaque zenith]

is there a built in way to make DrawDefaultInspector(); collapsable in inspector? So it can still be viewed it wanted, but, default is collapsed? I guess I could just add a toggle, but, is there a better way?

[waxen sandal]

Foldout around it

[opaque zenith]

okay ty, will check it out!

[opaque zenith]

is there any benefit to checking if a serializedObject has modified properties before applying modified properties at the end of OnInspectorGUI()? Outside of bug checking and limiting ranges

[lilac canyon]

I am working on buttons with tile thumbnail previews for my 3d tile editor and I am having trouble with my tile preview buttons. When refresh is clicked I look through the tile folder, and then I call this function ```private static void CheckTileThumbnails() {
if (thumbnailsUpToDate || tilePreviews == null)
return;

    thumbnailsUpToDate = true;
    for (int i = 0; i < tilePreviews.Length; i++) {
        if (tilePreviews[i] == null) {
            Debug.Log("Waiting for" + i.ToString() + " thumbnail.");
            thumbnailsUpToDate = false;
            tilePreviews[i] = AssetPreview.GetAssetPreview((GameObject)tileObjects[i]);
        }
    }
}```

and the meat of that runs until thumbnailsUpToDate is set to true (it doesnt find any null tile previews). It ran forever the first time I tried to run it. It was hung up on loading the preview for "testcover" as I would expect. But now it doesn't even call the debug line at all. Is there something wrong with how I am checking if the preview is loaded?

[lilac canyon]

Oh, I figured out why it didn't run the second time. It is because I didn't have a scene view open and the function is connected to the event SceneView.duringSceneGui. Still doesn't explain why the cover preview never loads.

[normal cradle]

Hey, I was wondering how I could create a projected trajectory path for an object before actually clicking play I made a gravity script for all objects And I would like to see the trajectory they would@take beforehand So I can tweak the initial velocity until I reach an orbit

[normal cradle]

;-;

[near vale]

You need this to work outside of play-mode, correct?

[normal cradle]

yes

[near vale]

For trajectories, I think splines might be a solution? I haven't implemented it myself but I ran into this in the Unity Learn course on Editor Scripting (step 5) https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/editor-scripting#5c7f8528edbc2a002053b5fa

[normal cradle]

ok

ima check it out

thanks

[waxen sandal]

Gizmos/handles to draw

[near vale]

If splines don't do the trick you can also check out Handles.DrawBezier https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Handles.DrawBezier.html

[waxen sandal]

But you have to calculate it yourself

[real ivy]

Haloo all
No matter what i do, i cant seem to change label text on callback
I use that execute.StartingIn(100) from some other patchup solution, but yeah. With or without it, it still doesn't work
The debug log shows the right changed value tho

[cold robin]

hello, i hope this is the good place for my question
I'm trying to extend timeline, i want to have a thing like signal, but not with signal, i explain
I have my own marker, wich have a unity event variable in it, but i cant drag and drop scene object in my event
If i have a GameObject variable, its the same
But i have see (and try) that with "ExposedComponent<Type>" and an editor, you can drag and drop scene object in it, so i have do that for my gameobject variable and it work, now i have just to do that for the unity event, but i can't expose it

I have watch a bit the unity script about signals, and they use event, but i can't find how they do for letting us drag and drop scene object in it

[sick pulsar]

Either/Or. It does not seem possible in UI, that's why I'm posting the question in "editor-extensions"

[outer condor]

Has anyone been able to build Bolt AOT from the command line? It seems like Bolt is tightly coupled with something in the Editor UI so any calls to it throw Null or Invalid Operator exceptions.

[waxen sandal]

Think there's a bolt specific server that can probably answer that better@outer condor

[outer condor]

Oooh! WHere can I find that?

[waxen sandal]

Forums iirc, there's also #763499475641172029 here

[outer condor]

Thanks! I tried on the forums, I'll try in the VS channel here. Ludiq's old forums seem deprecated since the acquisition

[kind monolith]

well uh

Navi, remember this problem here last time?
Well, where exactly am I meant to find those dlls you were talking about?

there's a folder within the unity project called Packages and it does have its fair share of dlls

but it has a lot of other things along with it

[waxen sandal]

You can extract the nuget package using 7z if you're the nuget guy at least

[kind monolith]

uhm, you mean the nugkp file?

[outer condor]

@kind monolith I added my first DLLs last week and was pleasantly surprised that I could just drag them into the project and they work.

[waxen sandal]

Yes

[kind monolith]

that is some morale up stuff

[kind monolith]

ok then, I have a weird history with that

I have downloaded that once, but I may have deleted it or moved it in a weird place, going to look at it further and try it

[outer condor]

@kind monolith Yeah, the preview package docs point you to places to get these things called packages that don't actually work with the package manager and there is no documentation telling you what you're supposed to do with them.

[kind monolith]

oh, wow

that's a weird and creepy thing

[kind monolith]

is winrar ok for this?

[waxen sandal]

Yes

It's just a zip

[kind monolith]

how am I meant to get there though?

I don't get any extract options

when I right click

maybe open with winrar...?

[waxen sandal]

Probably

Idk how winrar works

You can probably open it and find the file somewhere

[kind monolith]

what file?

the dlls?

[waxen sandal]

You locate the nupkg with winrar then extract it and it'll have the dlls somewhere in there

[outer condor]

@kind monolith I'm not sure what your actual issue is, I'm just chiming in because I ran into problems with nuget packages recently and the docs don't explain them. I was trying to integrate Cecil into Unity to parse IL code. I was able to just drag the DLL out of lib/(netstandard2.0 or net40)/ and into my project

[kind monolith]

what's going on is that I'm trying to make something that's able to do things with your google accounts

youtube specifically

I know there's an extension plugin thing for some youtube things, but this seems much more convenient

also that plugin seems to only be about playing videos, which is not what I need

uhm

opening the nupkg file makes only two new things come up

remember, this nupkg is inside what seems to be an almost identical copy of what's in it

it's weird to explain
but anyway, this nupkg has two new folders here
_rels
package
do I need either?

if we need lib (which I don't find likely), then we already have that (know I installed this via vs packet manager)

[outer condor]

I've only ever pulled DLLs out of a nupkg. I assumed the other stuff was specific to how the package gets distributed.

[kind monolith]

uhm

I think it may be better to download just the raw nupkg instead

there was a download link somewhere on nuget.org or soemthing

anyway, if I supposedly found those dlls, where would I put them?

Assets? Somewhere in the Unity files?

[outer condor]

I'd make a folder like Assets/Plugins/(Name of the thing)/(drop DLLs here)

I think that should do it.

I did not end up using mine and found another solution to my problem, but I was able to access them in my code, so I think that's the way to add them.

My stuff was for editor only

So I do not know about how well they'll work on other platforms.

[kind monolith]

uhm

so if I potentially wanted this to work on phone, maybe it may not work? Is that what you're saying or am I trashy?

[outer condor]

I'm just saying that this is where my knowledge runs out and I can't give you an answer.

😦

Should be easy enough to compile and find out though 😄

[kind monolith]

uhm

what the heck is a nuspec?

well

but anyway...

searching for .dll in that nupkg I extracted gives me 5 results

they're all the same name, and I don't know why?

they come from 5 different folders each and this really confuses me

[outer condor]

which version of C# are you using in your project?

[kind monolith]

are there meant to be more? Do I only need to have one?

[kind monolith]

uhm, that is an annoying thing to ask

how would I check that exactly?

[outer condor]

Gimme a sec, I'll find an example

In Edit > Project Settings > Player > Other, you'll see a section labelled "Configuration"

It's going to be one of the two.

[kind monolith]

hmmm

editor... what?

it's meant to be on the top left corner, right?

[outer condor]

Typo. I meant Edit

[kind monolith]

yeah

[outer condor]

My package folder looked kind of like this

So I picked netstandard2.0 since that was the API my project was set to at the time

But if I had 4.x set in my player, I think I would have picked net40

[kind monolith]

hm

I'm netstandard2.0 as well

ohh

so I need to cherry pick that one specifically?

[outer condor]

I think so

[kind monolith]

but are you sure maybe only the dll?

well, it makes more sense to copy them all so yeah

seems like we do actually finally have a direction now

we also have stuff like directory errors with google

so I assume I need to chuck those in too

[outer condor]

I am not sure. You can check though. Once you drag it in, click on it and look in the inspector. The inspector window will show you this screen, and it lets you set what platforms you want to use the DLL on

And then when you go into your code editor you can start typing the namespace name of the thing and see if you get suggestions for autocomplete

[kind monolith]

autocomplete is there

intellisense works

[outer condor]

Progress!

[kind monolith]

vs recognizes the thing but unity doesn't

no

it always was like this

added all the other things inside the net2.0 thing

4 out of 5 errors tell me it may be better after all to add that newtonsoft guy in as well

ok then, did tha

Assembly 'Assets/Plugins/auth/Google.Apis.Auth.dll' will not be loaded due to errors:
Unable to resolve reference 'Newtonsoft.Json'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.

4 out of 5 errors go like this

this pattern

the other one is this for some reason **Assembly 'Assets/Plugins/auth/Google.Apis.Auth.PlatformServices.dll' will not be loaded due to errors:
Reference has errors 'Google.Apis.Auth'.
**

have any idea what either of these means?

my only hypothesis is that maybe the name of the folders I put them in hecks them up?

maybe I could try removing them from their folders to see if that changes anything

if it does, it may make more sense to believe changing their names may change something
though it's still dumb

[warm lotus]

i'm using serializedProperty to draw enums on a custom inspector, but they dont initialize with the initial values, instead they initialize with the default values, how can i change that? and if not possible, what else can i use for drawing enums?

[kind monolith]

what? I moved them out of the folder and clearing the errors actually did wipe them, even when I tried playing? I'm going to try to see if things work from here

[outer condor]

I think Newtonsoft.Json is referring to Newtonsoft.Json.dll

[waxen sandal]

You got to add those dependencies as well to your project

And they'll liekly throw errors when you try to use any of their APIs

[kind monolith]

uhm

it's not like I didn't add them

I did and for some reason I was allowed to clear my error output

and now even when I start playing it won't give me those errors again
no idea why this happened but there's no telling it's going to work yet

so I'm going to try and finally learn some things about the api

though it's going to be complicated

I assume nobody here knows about youtube v3 api?

[outer condor]

Nope

(not me, at least)

[kind monolith]

yeeeahh

may have to learn that on my own

what I'm worried about mostly is logging your channel in this

I'll also need help with actually storing your settings

[warm lotus]

anyone?

[warm pendant]

Hey guys Im building a small little audio tool for myself as a package. The package itself works and I even managed to make into a thing people can download with the built in PackageManager using git which made me very happy. But only recently I realized that a project with my package in it cannot be built. When I try to build it I dont even get a proper error message. Instead just this little warning I attached shows up. What would even cause that?
[Put it in here because the package is mostly EditorExtensions and was unsure where to put this question]

[lilac canyon]

I'm trying to make previews on my buttons but the preview for one will never load. Anyone know how to make it load? My searches haven't found much on the topic.

[gloomy chasm]

You will have to share some of the code.

Hard to tell you what is going wrong without knowing what you are doing right now.

[drifting fractal]

Is there a reasonably simple way to remove some of these rarely used items from the Create menu?

[lilac canyon]

@gloomy chasm Understandable. However it doesn't load in the project view either. I think the reason the preview does not load is beyond my code. Either way, here is a pastebin of the relevant code https://pastebin.com/Kg01hNuM

[gloomy chasm]

The problem is that the prefab does not have any components that are renderers. I assume at least.

[lilac canyon]

Oh, that makes sense. It is the only one of the three where the mesh renderer is on a child object of the root object of the prefab. I did this to make sure it is offset from the center of the of the grid cell so it sits on the block below it cause the block is only about .4 units tall. It doesn't seem like I can just put the mesh renderer on the parent so I will need to look into how to get this effect in another way unless you already know.

[wintry frigate]

dearest editor unity inspector extension crew: i have a question. Sometimes, you dont want to assign a ton of stuff with get component in awake or start, even in a coroutine. Sometimes, you want it assigned in inspector, which, i think at least, is faster and cheaper than looking it up as it gets cached i hope. However, sometimes, because unity magic gods decide you are not worthy, you may lose all these references, and in my case, this is a lot...like, a lot a lot. I was wondering if its even possible to have some kinda editor extension that would find all unfilled serialized/public fields that are empty (i know this muh to be possible) but then, check each one and see if like, in my case, it can only take exactly ONE possible object from hierarchy view, and then this script i am imagining would be able to autofill all empty serialized/public fields where there is only one possible optioin (this is in prefab mode only)

[waxen sandal]

There's a bunch of plugins that add attributes that let you do that

E.g. find in children, find on self, find in parent etc..

[wintry frigate]

really?

i mean i just want something that iterates through everything in the prefab mode in inspector, and if theres only one possible choice, pick that

[shell furnace]

Hey everyone, happy Friday

I'm upgrading my project from the 2019 LTS to the latest (v2020.03.15f1) and an important plugin is now conflicting with what looks like a new DLL that was introduced for internal use only (Newtonsoft.JSON.2.0.0). I've tried to remove the plugin's DLL but it needs v9.0.0. I've also gone and replaced the PackageCache versions of the DLL with those that work (removing the instance in the plugins directory as well) to no effect. Is there a way I can simply have both coexist? Seems bonkers that Unity still doesn't have an intelligent package manager for this kinda stuff.

I should point out that my google searches thought the forums all indicate to do things like this.

[waxen sandal]

Well, C# doesn't really have robust dependency handling either compared to some other languages however it provides more tools to do so

You can copy the package folder from packagecache to Packages and keep changes and persist them (otherwise they will not be in version control etc...)

And then change the DLL to your version, unless Unity also depends on a specific version

[shell furnace]

So just copy out the directory from PackageCache to Packages then cut the DLL's from the plugins directory into the one we put in packages. I'll give it a shot.

and ty regardless

[waxen sandal]

Pretty much

Should be easiest fix in this case

Been struggling with this a lot

[shell furnace]

would this solution get overwritten in standard day-to-day workflows or outside of initial fix there shouldn't be a problem?\

[waxen sandal]

Shouldn't be

[shell furnace]

🤞

[shell furnace]

@waxen sandal looks like there's a dependency with PlasticSCM ```Assembly 'Packages/com.unity.collab-proxy/Lib/Editor/PlasticSCM/unityplastic.dll' will not be loaded due to errors:
unityplastic references strong named Newtonsoft.Json Assembly references: 12.0.0.0 Found in project: 9.0.0.0.
Assembly Version Validation can be disabled in Player Settings "Assembly Version Validation"

[waxen sandal]

Are you using plastic or unity collab?

If not you can probably remove the package in the package manager

[shell furnace]

I'm not, I'll try to remove it then.

Making progress! Works, now I'm going to document the process and 🤞 it will just work easy.

QQ though, this means that my other plugin needs to be updated to use Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.0 if I ever need to use collab/plasticscm in unity correct?

[waxen sandal]

Probably yeah

at least, easiest fix 😛

[shell furnace]

indeed. software is fun like that

[waxen sandal]

They just all need to use the same version, doesn't matter which really

Could be worse

I have to coerce a third party plugin to update a dependency to solve my issue

[shell furnace]

my only concern is that it's 3 major revisions difference but in some project's that's not as big a deal as others.

[waxen sandal]

I don't think it's that big of a deal with netwonsoft.json

[shell furnace]

OMG so good

things just went from BAD to "not so bad" 🙂

[waxen sandal]

😄

[shell furnace]

you got a patrion @waxen sandal or shall I just send you eternal thanks? 😉

[waxen sandal]

Just thanks is enough 😛

[shell furnace]

if my kids convince me to get a cat I'll see if we can name it Navi. My daughter's name is Zelda so a good chance of that.

Is there a way to select multiple objects in the hierarchy and convert that selection to all light maps that those objects are occupying? And if not how would I go about adding that functionality?

Currently, it seems you can only select the object and then click the light map preview to highlight the light map in the project window, which will then allow you to change the settings for that given object. This takes too long when you have close to 100 lightmaps that you want to identify and updates settings on.

Hi i make custom editor and i want to when i Toggle one variable than it shows another hidden variable.it works, but the hidden variable always show in bottom. Ho can i fix It? ```csharp
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

[CustomEditor(typeof(GunShooting))]
public class CustomEditorGun : Editor
{
SerializedProperty auto;

void OnEnable()
{
    auto = serializedObject.FindProperty("auto");
}
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
    DrawDefaultInspector();

    GunShooting script = (GunShooting)target;
    if (script.oneMode == false) 
    {
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(auto);   
    }
}

}

Thanks.

[waxen sandal]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Editor/Mono/Inspector/RendererLightingSettings.cs#L518 I think this is the method that Unity uses to find the lightmaps for a given meshrenderer

You can use the Selection class to find the current selection then look at the code in that method above to find the actual textures and change their settings

Never done this so no idea if that works but looks like a decent way to do it

[opaque zenith]

serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties(); is just doing a setdirty / saveassets?

[gloomy chasm]

No, when you edit a SerializedProperty it edits it on the C++ side, so when you apply, those are set on the C# side.

[opaque zenith]

okay, ty

[fresh plume]

Could somebody help me Please or I did something wrong? https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/533353544846147585/873287480160432170

[gloomy chasm]

You use a toggle.

[fresh plume]

i Should use?

[gloomy chasm]

Yes, or just a field.

EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(boolSerializedProp);
if (boolSerializedProp.boolValue)
{
// Other fields you want to show here...
}

[opaque zenith]

        EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedPropertyMyColor);
        if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) humanModel.MyColor = serializedPropertyMyColor.colorValue;

is doing everything I'm looking for now with color inspector changes through

    [SerializeField]
    Color myColor = new Color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
    public Color MyColor
    {
        get {return myColor;}
        set
        {
            myColor = value;
            MyMaterial.color = myColor;
        }
    }

but, I'm checking if any better way?

[fresh plume]

no, the problem is that i want to show the hidden variable in order like is write in the original script.

[opaque zenith]

I guess, is there a way to get the getter/setter of a serialized property instead of the actual property?

[fresh plume]

?

[gloomy chasm]

What are you trying to do.
To answer your question, no. The reason is that contrary to the name, a SerializedProperty has nothing to do with C# properties (getter and setter). It is a representation of the fields that are saved. Only public fields (no get or set) and private fields with the [SerializeField] attribute are saved.

[gloomy chasm]

Yes, you can even have 1000 if you have a wide enough monitor 😛

GUILayout.BeingHorizontal();
// Controls you want on a single line...
GUILayout.EndHorizontal();

Cool! Well good luck! There is a lot of info you can find on google, and you can always ask here if you have more questions.
I always recommend googling first, especially when you are getting started because someone has probably wanted to do that before and asked already 🙂

[fresh plume]

hi i have the problem that my bool value after custom editor is'n clickable.```csharp

EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("single"));
EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("burst"));
EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("auto"));
EditorGUI.indentLevel--;
}

    [Header("Modes")]
    public bool oneMode = true;
    [Header("Singe")]
    [HideInInspector]public bool single;
    [Header("Burst")]
    [HideInInspector]public bool burst;
    [Header("Auto")]
    [HideInInspector]public bool auto;

[visual stag]

Are you applying the changes to the serialised object?

[deep wyvern]

I guess this counts as Editor Extensions:
VSCode isn't able to detect errors in my project. I have it selected under external tools. I clicked reset argument and regenerate project files with all selected but it didn't help.
The unity VSCode package is installed in the project and up to date. The only VSCode extensions active are C# and UnityCodeSnippets

And ofc I tried to google but I couldn't make sense of it. Most hits were about intellisense which is working for me

[visual stag]

#854851968446365696

It's a part of the configuration setup.
Also, this channel is for creating editor extensions

[deep wyvern]

The code completion is working fine if thats why you tagged readme.

[visual stag]

Also look at all the console outputs, not just the problems view to see if it's saying you need to install something. Though you should just check the installation instructions again as it's likely just something you have missed.

[surreal stirrup]

how can i get a component of an object?

public void OnGUI()
    {
        sphere = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(sphere, typeof(Object), true);
        if (GUILayout.Button("add orbiting"))
        {
            Object newS = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(sphere);
            newS.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = Vector3.right; //this line
        }
    }

[surreal stirrup]

fixed it withcs GameObject newS = (GameObject)PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(sphere);

[gloomy chasm]

😉

var comps = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<MyComponent>();
foreach(var comp in comps)
  comp.myValue = 1;

[slender jetty]

Hey 🙂 I am working on a small editor window for my conversations, and was wondering if there was a good way to add a colored area at the top of the windows to differentiate different types?

[gloomy chasm]

EditorGUI.DrawRect

[slender jetty]

Does that follow the rounded corners?

[gloomy chasm]

No, it just draws a rect in a specific color. If you want to handle the rounded corners then you will need to make a texture that has the corners that you then can tint.

[slender jetty]

Might be more work than it's worth, tbh...

It might actually be fine with DrawRect. Thanks

Thought it would be nice before I introduce branching paths and such that you can quickly see which are what kind.

[mystic jolt]

how do i make the foldout have inline

heres my code

[lilac canyon]

I have a tilemap of prefabs class with tools to paint prefabs on it and I am having trouble figuring out how to make its references to the prefabs painted on it persist when the code recompiles. The monobehavior is set to execute always, and when painted on, it adds the new prefab into a hashtable with coordinates as keys. I don't want to force it to look at all its childeren and add them to the hashtable each time I recompile my code and slow my iteration speed. Does anyone know how the official tilemap package saves its data?

[feral topaz]

I'm adding a helper which removes (actually seralizes and saves) all script components on a game object. But I discovered that if the scripts have dependencies between them (with RequireComponent), it will fail if the order isn't correct. Is there a way to remove a set of components in a batch?

[feral topaz]

[update] I implemented reverse topological sort, so past that problem

[mystic jolt]

how do i scale the length of this

heres my code

i've use GUILayout.ExpandWidth() but it still be like this

[visual stag]

Try to temporarily override EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth

[barren moat]

How hard is it to write an array property drawer?

I'm trying to write a pretty simple drawer that fixes the array to length of an enum and prints out the enum element names instead of indexes

It's not doing what I expected...

[waxen sandal]

You have to create a wrapper class unfortunatley

[barren moat]

oh that's annoying. Although I guess that means I can make it generic which is kind of good in this case.

Okay, shelving this project for now haha

[slender jetty]

Is there an easy way to detect changes in an EnumFlagsField? I'd like a drop down in my conversation window to create a new node, where you click on an a value in an enum selector and it creates that one? I have ways to do it, but is there a good way to just tap into the value being updated?

Pseudo-code example of what I plan to make if not, just asking if there is a better way

nodeType = EditorGUILayout.EnumFlagsField((ConversationNodeType) nodeType);
If(nodeType != NodeType.CreateNewNode){
  // Logic to create new node
  nodeType = NodeType.CreateNewNode;
}

Pretty new to working with editor extensions

[whole steppe]

theres a method in the EditorGUI class called beginchangecheck i think

then you can make an if statement with the end change check

and if there was a change itll do the elements insdie the if statement

[slender jetty]

Thanks, I'll take a look at that 🙂

[slender jetty]

It looks fine. Slightly wish there was a call back OnChange function for the EditorGui methods as an option though

[gloomy chasm]

After an hour or so of brainstorming and reading the source code I have concluded that there is no way to find out which control is for which MaterialProperty in the material inspector, and that makes me sad.

I can get the stacktrack, and the rects of the controls. But no way to get the MaterialProperty without using Harmony 😦

[gloomy chasm]

How do you get hidden(HideInHierarchy) subassets? I can't actually find a way to access them...

@visual stag It's been a bit since the conversation, but I don't think I have showed you yet I got ScriptableObject Variants working nice.

They update immediately too!

[feral topaz]

what does that mean? I can't make sense of your issue

[gloomy chasm]

Haha, sorry I didn't really explain it well. Basically I want to add the little blue bars to fields in the inspector for Materials (the inspector shown when a material is selected) like what you see when a prefab property is overridden.

But there is no callback or anything when one of the fields is drawn, so I have no way of checking if a specific MaterialProperty should have one of the blue bars or not when drawing.

Like there is an internal event Action<Rect, SerializedProperty> beginProperty which is called before a Property field is drawn. But there is nothing like that for when a MaterialProperty is drawn.

[feral topaz]

beyond my pay grade at the moment, but can you make a custom ShaderGUI and set it for all materials?

[gloomy chasm]

Yeah, it is a pretty deep and niche thing.
That would indeed work for just default custom shaders. However a lot of shaders (including the standard one) use custom ShaderGUIs so it wouldn't work for them, and for my use-case that makes it pretty useless unfortunately. 😦

[waxen sandal]

Looks pretty sweet

[gloomy chasm]

Thank you! It is admittedly pretty nice. Low levels of jank.

[cold robin]

Hey, with a script editor, if i click on a GUILayout.button, my selection.activeGameobject change to take the good gameobject
in this gameobject, i have a script (a data script) with a list, does somebody know how to open the list at the good index ?

like, if i click on the button, my selection.activegameobject = data.gameobject
and then my data.list is open at index 0 for exemple

[primal heron]

the tilemap saves things like transform, color, flags and other info it gets from the GetTileData method in your tile into indexed lookup tables in the scene file. It only saves data from the Tile and TileBase classes. Adding fields to Tile subclasses so that such data are saved in the Scene doesn't work without additional work, but it can be done. Unsure if this is precisely what you are asking about though.

[opaque zenith]

can I not change a project name through serializedObject.targetObject.name? It seems to change the name, but, upon a save, reverts back

[gloomy chasm]

You mean object name? How are you saving it and for what type of object?

[lilac canyon]

Thanks. You gave me what I wanted to know. Now I have a good lead on what to learn about next! I'm just terrible at writing questions without rambling haha.

[primal heron]

Hey no problem. Tilemap internals are opaque but not imponderable

[grim walrus]

Another dodgy question, though isn't important its just a nicety...
I'm collecting serialized data from all of the scenes, data is then displayed in a dropdown and choosing it copies the relevant data from that property to the current (so component A is in scene 1 and 2, I can make the scene 2 component copy the scene 1 stuff)
In order to use it however I have to use a menu function to obviously go through each scene and get the data needed.

Problem is, this is for people.
Having them constantly click collect components/properties may be annoying and may not be used.

Without using this menu function, can I silently load a scene and get the data from it?
Obviously, don't want to stop the flow so don't want to load a scene, I also don't want them to have to click the collect when they add a component...

If not then you know, suffer

[whole steppe]

anyone knows how to fix?

[waxen sandal]

Wrong channel

[whole steppe]

I can't publish anything anymore

which channel then

[waxen sandal]

#💻┃unity-talk is probably better

Also, if you're using git I would try using the git client to check for merge conflicts

im using Unity Collaborate lol

[waxen sandal]

Unity collaborate uses git afaik

[waxen sandal]

I remember something like this being possible but I might be misremembering

[oak cradle]

Hi, is there any way to check if a custom inspector is inherited?
I want to do something like this:

if (script is ClassA)
  EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This script is base class!", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
else
  EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This script is derived!", EditorStyles.boldLabel);

[waxen sandal]

The inspector or the class?

[oak cradle]

inspector

or not? I mean, I want only one custom editor, and this editor is derived to class that is derived from another class.

I have base class with custom editor, and I want to show label if component is this class or not.

[waxen sandal]

Can you post some psuedo code

[oak cradle]

I have class InteractableObject as base, and it have custom editor:

[CustomEditor(typeof(InteractableObject), true)]
public class InteractableObjectEditor : Editor
{
  public override void OnInspectorGUI()
  {
    InteractableObject script = (InteractableObject)target;
    if () //if this inspector is Interactable or not
      EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This script is base class!", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
    else
      EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This script is derived!", EditorStyles.boldLabel);

    DrawDefaultInspector();
  }
}

and some other classes, which inherit InteractableObject, like this:

public class Brake : InteractableObject
{
    [SerializeField] private GameObject brake;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject brakeMounted;

    protected override void OnShowInPosition()
    {
        brake.SetActive(false);
        brakeMounted.SetActive(true);
    }
}

and I want to show label if component is InteractableObject, or derived. And I don't want to create another Editor because I have many scripts like this.

Ok, nevermind, I got this.

if (script.GetType().IsSubclassOf(typeof(InteractableObject))) // checks if subclass
  EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This script is derived!", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
else
  EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This script is base class!", EditorStyles.boldLabel);

[waxen sandal]

Yeah that works

Or you could just compare type

if script.gettype == typeof(interactableobject)

[oak cradle]

This looks better, thanks 🙂

[grim walrus]

I haven't found much but then again I haven't gone into a deep dive for it

[waxen sandal]

Maybe this works? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.OpenSceneMode.AdditiveWithoutLoading.html

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.EditorSceneManager.OpenScene.html

Or maybe j ust this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetSceneByPath.html and then GetRootGameobjects?

[grim walrus]

I'm currently going through all scenes with open scene, doing my search, loading the next.
Was going to try additive without loading but a bit uneasy about what it might give me

[waxen sandal]

You load the scene normally and then unload it and iirc that's the same as what you'll get with additive without loading

[stray iron]

Does anyone know how to create array list inside EditorWindows? This is for Unity Editor function, not to be used at runtime.

I tried this but found issues. It still works, but would like to know if there's something better...

private int _size = 0;
private string[] _list;

void OnGUI()
{
  _size = EditorGUILayout.IntField("Array Size", _size);
  if( _list == null || _size != _list.Length )
    _list = new string[_size];
  for(int i = 0, c = _list.Length; i<c; ++i )
    _list[i] = EditorGUILayout.TextField($"Array {i}", _list[i]);
}

[onyx harness]

The moment you change the length, it resets

[stray iron]

That's the issues....

[onyx harness]

Use Array.Resize

[stray iron]

I mean I could create a temp array to store saved value and then paste it in after re-constructing the array... but still.

That works...

[ivory fulcrum]

I know it's not necessarily a "Editor-Extension" question but it's in service of an editor extension, I'm building off of "TinyCsvParser" to build a generic parser (because I intend all of the CSVs to have the same format of using a semicolon instead of a comma) and I was thinking that in the case of an exporter, the client of the parser should be able to edit the list of objects that the parser generates and write it, but I don't want to have them necessarily be able to edit them directly. Originally I implemented "IReadOnlyList" but I'm trying to think how best to write a way to mutate the elements without accessing them directly or through methods/properties implemented in "IList". Should I just implement IList instead or am I making a good design choice?

[waxen sandal]

I'd just serialize an array and use PropertyField

[waxen sandal]

Why not let them edit the list directly?

[mystic jolt]

how do i keep the foldout bool when press play cus the folded thing gone unfold again if it be in play mode

heres how i draw the foldout

[silver musk]

@mystic jolt where is folderBool stored? make sure it's serialized to the editor window, as the window will get serialized / deserialized when going into play mode (might just need to slap [SerializeField] where it's declared

[mystic jolt]

it stored here. im not sure does i put the [sieralize] in wrong place but it still wont work

my foldout code run in public override void OnInspectorGUI() btw

[ivory fulcrum]

Because the contents usually come from parsing a csv file, so I don't want them to edit it accidentally. But it IS ok to edit it if they know what they're doing.

[waxen sandal]

Not sure if that attribute applies to all of them and you should be using serializedProperty.isExpanded

[waxen sandal]

I'd just make it clear in your API that data needs to be saved, or provide 2 APIs one returning a Span (if unity supports those) and the other returning IReadOnlyList

[mystic jolt]

turns out i dont know how to use .isExpanded and give up

[urban bronze]

Hey, new to using this Discord instead of the forums.

Anyone know a way to re-order tags?

[gloomy chasm]

No can do.

[urban bronze]

I found the TagManager.asset file, where it lists them all

I have Odin Inspector too

[gloomy chasm]

Well you could try reordering them there, not sure if that will work or cause problems.

[urban bronze]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/7a7dfc/any_way_to_reorder_tags_in_the_inspector/

I've seen this as the only documentation on it, and it's old

I'm gonna see what happens

Now rocks is ahead of damager, I'll see if anything broke

[waxen sandal]

Tags are index based afaik and thus reordering will not swap the index on objects with that index

[gloomy chasm]

They are, and are stupid. Only time I ever use the built-in tag system is when an asset requires it.

[urban bronze]

So you're saying I should be okay? I'm testing and it's still recognizing the rocks properly

[waxen sandal]

No I'm saying that all object's tags are now shifted, damager used to be index 0 but is now index 1, while the object still points to index 0

[urban bronze]

oo gotcha

I can re-name a tag in the debug mode though right?

[waxen sandal]

Does it not let you rename it in the tags and layers window?

[urban bronze]

lmao it does not

[waxen sandal]

IIRC it should if you double click

[urban bronze]

double click I'll try

and thank you

Nah double clicking doesn't work

2019.4 LTS

[waxen sandal]

🤔

[urban bronze]

I tried F2 as well

If I hit the Debug tab, I can edit that value in that way

Maybe I can write an Odin Inspector for it, so it's just the way it's shown visually

[primal heron]

You can also use the ScriptableSingleton approach for storing serialized values for editor extensions. I use that for storing serialized values - they're stored on the file system. https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScriptableSingleton_1.html

[grim walrus]

Has anyone managed threaded editor stuff or jobs?
Manipulating actual Object and SerializedObject/Property ... And scene 👍

[waxen sandal]

You don't 😛

Or you write a dispatcher

Or TAP

[grim walrus]

rip my cycles

[gloomy chasm]

Yeah, as Navi said, no can do. You cannot use the unity API in a separate thread. Best you can do is async.

[opaque zenith]

What is the name of the window that meshs display in the inspector? Also, is there a way to display the image of data for a mesh without the mesh existing in there? I'm trying to create some scriptableObjects with mesh data to dynamically create, but, think it defeats what I'm trying to do if I just make a new mesh for every one?

[atomic sable]

so I have this class in one of my scripts

[CustomEditor(typeof(SpoutSpawner))]
public class SpoutSpawner_Editor : Editor {
    public override void OnInspectorGUI() {
        DrawDefaultInspector();

        SpoutSpawner script = (SpoutSpawner)target;

        if (script.activeTime > 0) {
            EditorGUI.indentLevel++;
            script.repeatTime = Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Repeat Time", script.repeatTime), 0.0f, float.PositiveInfinity);
            EditorGUI.indentLevel--;
        }

    }
}

The problem is, whenever I press play repeatTime gets set back to 0.0, and in my script I do not initialize the variable and I have it hidden from the inspector. How can I get it to keep the value that's set?

[opaque zenith]

outside of saving it to a file, if for editor purposes, I like to setdirty and save scriptableObjects with data in between sessions and play sessions

[opaque zenith]

you can do something as simple as

EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck());

to set the so dirty

[delicate dove]

I'm trying to open "Tile Palette" window using script, any idea how i can achieve this?

[primal heron]

one way is EditorApplication.ExecuteMenuItem("Window/2D/Tile Palette"); which would have to be a script in an editor folder if you don't want your build to fail

[delicate dove]

I didn't know you can call menu items with scripts. Thanks a lot!

[opaque zenith]

finally figured out what I was looking for for anyone interested

    public override bool HasPreviewGUI()
    {
        return true;
    }

[eager iron]

in Probuilder how to i make the transformations permanent and not go-through?

[opaque zenith]

a mesh is display data you could think of. You need to do something in order to make something stop at it. Wether it's through your own algorithm, or using colliders

[eager iron]

well, yeah.

how do I do that with probuilder

[opaque zenith]

probuilder should have mesh colliders added by default, is it not for you?

[west fog]

@eager iron Don't crosspost questions.

[eager iron]

its not

[opaque zenith]

Assigns the pb_ColliderBehaviour script to selected objects, which does the following:

If no collider is present, adds a MeshCollider.
Sets the Renderer material to the ProBuilder Collider material.
When entering Play Mode or building the renderer is automatically disabled.

see if that helps at all

[opaque zenith]

``pb_Entity (Deprecated)

Older versions of ProBuilder used a script called pb_Entity to manage trigger and collider objects. Projects making use of pb_Entity will still continue to function, but it is recommended to make use of the new pb_TriggerBehaviour and pb_ColliderBehaviour instead.`` more info if you happen to be doing this

[eager iron]

when i press set collider, it makes everything go through

and I think that Entity just seperated them

[opaque zenith]

IDK if this info is correct, but, found this in response to someone else
``Your mesh is not marked Convex. And you didn't include the Static checkbox in your screenshot, but I bet it's off.

That all matters, because things can't collide with non-static, non-convex mesh colliders. Calculating such collisions is very expensive and so Unity (or PhysX) just doesn't do it.

You should certainly check Convex on this mesh, because it is in fact a convex mesh; and if it doesn't need to move, you should check Static as well.

Also, you have it marked as Kinematic. That removes it from most of the physics calculations. Uncheck that unless you know what you're doing and have a good reason to use kinematic mode.
``

make sure to check all of those also

[eager iron]

it's not working, but thanks for helping 🙂

[mystic jolt]

anyone have experience with plasticSCM have this wierd "feature"

[naive loom]

                {
                    data.PopulateData();
                    solvable.boolValue = false;
                }

to Generate random data inside my level data editor(inspector) i use button, and its still alot work to do since i need to click the SO in asset, then click the button in inspector, then go back click another SO, so on...so how i can use keyboard instead???, like press A to generate random data?

[opaque zenith]

if you are doing things in editor you need to need to do something with Event.current.button

[naive loom]

is button for keyboard?

isnt it keycode, but i tried Event.current.keycode == keycode.A debug log("A") not working

[opaque zenith]

I can't really answer more than that since there is so many different ways you can go from doing things like [ExecuteInEditMode] and/or subscribing to events and/or using update etc...

[opaque zenith]

how are you storing the variable and have it being checked?

[naive loom]

guess i cant use [executeInEditMode] either, its Scriptable object, so its doesnt have update to check input

[opaque zenith]

ScriptableObjects still have access to to OnEnable etc..., but, you can also have the scriptableobject subscribe to events

[naive loom]

so i create another script with Mono Behaviour, then in SO i suubscribe to that?? will try

[opaque zenith]

you can also use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/InitializeOnLoadAttribute.html

there is a lot of things you can use to allow scriptableobjects to place nice while in the editor

also, check out https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.html

you can use it to subscribe to events, but, these are going down routes that you shouldn't need to if you are looking for simplicity

[opaque zenith]

you don't need to use any monobehaviour, you can create an OnEnable() to subscribe to an event on your scriptableObject. You can set this up in a way so that you Initialize the SO and to do whatever you want when you press a key. It doesn't even have to be a SO

if you don't want to either

[opaque zenith]

for simplicity what I would do is create an OnLoadMethod that makes sure your SO has an instance and in that method also make it subscribe to an event that will detect keys

this won't work at runtime this way mind you

[naive loom]

okay i need to understand all of this first, thanks for the answer

[opaque zenith]

Here is a quick search I found

 using UnityEditor;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 [InitializeOnLoad]
 public static class YourCustomSceneView
 {
     static YourCustomSceneView()
     {
         SceneView.onSceneGUIDelegate += OnSceneGUI;
     }
 
     private static void OnSceneGUI(SceneView sceneView)
     {
         // Do your general-purpose scene gui stuff here...
         // Applies to all scene views regardless of selection!
 
         // You'll need a control id to avoid messing with other tools!
         int controlID = GUIUtility.GetControlID(FocusType.Passive);
 
         if (Event.current.GetTypeForControl(controlID) == EventType.keyDown)
         {
             if (Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Keypad1)
             {
                 Debug.Log("1 pressed!");
                 // Causes repaint & accepts event has been handled
                 Event.current.Use();
             }
         }
     }
 }

no idea if it helps or works for you at all

it's from 2015

so might need some updating

[naive loom]

woa thanks, better tried to know

[vapid prism]

How can I write back the raw bytes of an asset? Currently I'm loading an asset by reading it's raw bytes and converting it to json. Then I modify it but I don't know how to "write it back" effectively. Do I need to manually write the file or does Unity have some built in api for it? The asset in question is an AssemblyDefinitionAsset which has no publicly available methods/props for modifying it.

[waxen sandal]

I mean you're pretty much circumventing unity there so you have to do it yourself

[vapid prism]

Yeah it seems my solution is to just manually write to the file and then doing a Refresh()

[waxen sandal]

You can probably use ASsetdatabase.LoadAsset<TextAsset>

[vapid prism]

Thinking about it some more I should probably load it like you say and then use SerializedObject to write values

[high bronze]

For some reason when I try to drag an instance of my scriptable object into a public field it says "type cannot be found Containing file and class name must match"

here's the so code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Colors", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/PlayerColors", order = 1)]
public class Colors : ScriptableObject
{
    public Color[] DarkColor = new Color[4];
    public Color[] LightColor = new Color[4];
    public Color[] MaskColor = new Color[4];
}

and in my MonoBehavior Script:

    public Colors PlayerColors;

[visual stag]

and is your script's filename Colors.cs

[high bronze]

I can't read apparently

thank you

Hello everyone, I tried to install the google play games plugin but i got an error while installing and now i cannot build my game again here are the exeptions

The force Resolve of android does not work too if it helps

if i trie to make the setup over Window Google Play Games-Setup-Android Setup I get this exception

If you know a solution pls dm me

[feral topaz]

Is there a way to abort entering playmode in playModeStateChanged ?

huh. ExitPlaymode works, nevermind!

How would one go about moving a single face on a ProBuilderMesh at runtime without splitting it from the rest of the object? I've tried quite a few methods and all of them have either failed or the face doesn't stay connected with those neighboring it. I can provide my script if necessary.

[opaque zenith]

have you checked https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@4.0/manual/api.html at all? From my own probuilder experience it isn't designed for runtime, however, you can extend it for that, but haven't checked

[next temple]

I have gotten all my methods so far from there, and none of them have worked without splitting the face from the rest.

[opaque zenith]

do I treat public override void OnPreviewSettings() the same way I do with any customEditor? As in, anything EditorGUI and GUI works in it?

[gloomy chasm]

Uhh, I don't remember. One way to find out I guess. 😉

[feral topaz]

Is it expected that all existing Scene objects become invalid when the editor switches scenes? (with EditorSceneManager.OpenScene?). This is what I think I'm seeing. It's odd, because I thought Scene was a passive struct.

[stone breach]

yo i need some help

i use unity 5.6.7f1

and
i want to import the

post processing package but it is removed from the assets store
and i don't have the package manager so

is there any way to install it manualy from github

[tough cairn]

Why does it take so long to refresh the* editor after saving the smallest code edit ? i literately added one line in one single file in the entire assembly definition

[waxen sandal]

I read somewhere that it might actually be recompiling everything

[tough cairn]

is there a way around it ?

[waxen sandal]

Not really

[tough cairn]

this is so ghetto

Ok so if u build the assembly in VS ( Build menu and select assembly definition or Ctrl+B ) it will cut the reload time down to around 10 seconds instead of 30 in my case

[gusty oracle]

Can anyone help me figure out why my ChangeCheck() checks don't validate? I'm new to this custom inspector stuff 🙂

[CustomEditor(typeof(TileManager))]
[CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class TileManagerEditor : Editor
{
    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        TileManager tileManager = (TileManager)target;

        EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();

        serializedObject.Update();

        tileManager.tileCount = (int)Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.IntField("Tile Count", tileManager.tileCount), 0, Mathf.Infinity);
        tileManager.resizeTileCount = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Resize Tile Count", tileManager.resizeTileCount);
        tileManager.tileSize = EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field("Tile Size", tileManager.tileSize);
        tileManager.tileSpacing = Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Tile Spacing", tileManager.tileSpacing), 0, Mathf.Infinity);
        tileManager.relativeSpacing = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Relative Spacing", tileManager.relativeSpacing);

        if (tileManager.relativeSpacing == true)
        {
            tileManager.spacingMultiplier = Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Spacing Multiplier", tileManager.spacingMultiplier), 0, Mathf.Infinity);
        }

        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("tilePrefab"), true);
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("tileHolder"), true);
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("tiles"), true);

        serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();

        if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
        {
            tileManager.UpdateOnChange();
        }
    }
}```

[opaque zenith]

yes, let me try to find more info, it's in the settings, just let me remember where. When you change something it recompiles everytthing

@tough cairn preferences -> auto refresh.

If you disable Auto Refresh, you will need to refresh the project after each script change manually. You can do this by pressing Crtl+R on Windows or ⌘+R on Mac.

check out https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/210452343-How-to-stop-automatic-assembly-compilation-from-script

the code blocks in there are to large for me to want to post in discord

of doing these changes through code

if you want

[tough cairn]

i don't mind that it auto refreshes , the time it takes to refresh is what bugging me

[opaque zenith]

what is tileManager.UpdateOnChange(); doing? OnInspectorGUI() also is only going while the inspector of that typeof is being inspected, also, if you aren't saving the data in some way, it should reset on recompiles etc... though that isn't a validate issue, just figured I should mention

you also might be having an issue on where you appliemodifiedproperties is

usually it is recommend to have that at the end of all your code

for exactly potential problems with what you are metion

doing something like

        serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();

        // Default Inspector
        showDefaultInspector = EditorGUILayout.Foldout(showDefaultInspector, "Default Inspector");
        if (showDefaultInspector) DrawDefaultInspector();

is an example of where you shouldn't put at end

[opaque zenith]

yeah, depending on how complex you want to get, you can complete control your own compilation in an effort to reduce this. I haven't personally delved into it yet

[gusty oracle]

UpdateOnChange() spawns (if appropriate) and repositions all of the tiles in the list 🙂 I want it so that If I modify any of the tile variables, the visual representation in the scene is rebuilt using the new values 🙂

Il move that line

The ending is now this: ```cs
if (check.changed)
{
tileManager.UpdateOnChange();
}

serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();

 However im confused as to why ```check.changed``` never validates

[opaque zenith]

idk what check.changed is? I've only heard of EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck(); and EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck() sorry 😦

[gusty oracle]

Ah sorry I changed my code before you first replied my bad. that was part of another method I tried but that didn't work either 😦

[opaque zenith]

here is something I could find for checkchangescope, idk if that helps for check.changed

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EditorGUI.ChangeCheckScope.html

[gusty oracle]

This was the other way I tried

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

[CustomEditor(typeof(TileManager))]
[CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class TileManagerEditor : Editor
{
    TileManager tileManager;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        tileManager = (TileManager)target;
    }

    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        using (var check = new EditorGUI.ChangeCheckScope())
        {
            
            //EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();

            serializedObject.Update();

            tileManager.tileCount = (int)Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.IntField("Tile Count", tileManager.tileCount), 0, Mathf.Infinity);
            tileManager.resizeTileCount = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Resize Tile Count", tileManager.resizeTileCount);
            tileManager.tileSize = EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field("Tile Size", tileManager.tileSize);
            tileManager.tileSpacing = Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Tile Spacing", tileManager.tileSpacing), 0, Mathf.Infinity);
            tileManager.relativeSpacing = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Relative Spacing", tileManager.relativeSpacing);

            if (tileManager.relativeSpacing == true)
            {
                tileManager.spacingMultiplier = Mathf.Clamp(EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Spacing Multiplier", tileManager.spacingMultiplier), 0, Mathf.Infinity);
            }

            EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("tilePrefab"), true);
            EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("tileHolder"), true);
            EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("tiles"), true);

            if (check.changed)
            {
                tileManager.UpdateOnChange();
            }

            serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
        }
    }
}```

[opaque zenith]

what are you looking for to change exactly? I know it can be sloppy, but I like to do Begin and end checks for each property, not the entirety, though you can, but anyways,

        EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedPropertyMyHeight);
        if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) humanModel.MyHeight = serializedPropertyMyHeight.floatValue;
        EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedPropertyMyColor);
        if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) humanModel.MyColor = serializedPropertyMyColor.colorValue;

is an example of what I do if it helps at all. If you are still having problems it might be be in your method, not the change check. Put a Debug.Log("Test) in your change check to see if it is or isn't

[tough cairn]

any tips where to look 👀 ?

[opaque zenith]

Can anyone help me with

    public override void OnInteractivePreviewGUI(Rect r, GUIStyle background)
    {
        Event currentEvent = Event.current;
        if (currentEvent.isScrollWheel)
        {
            distance += currentEvent.delta.y;
            distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance, minDistance, maxDistance);
            Repaint();
        }
        if (currentEvent.isMouse && (currentEvent.button == 0 || currentEvent.button == 1))
        {
            rotateX += currentEvent.delta.y;
            rotateY += currentEvent.delta.x;
            rotateX = Mathf.Clamp(rotateX, minXRotation, maxXRotation);
            quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(rotateX, rotateY, 0);
            Repaint();
        }
        if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint)
        {
            if (!meshPreview) SetMeshPreview();
            previewRenderUtility.BeginPreview(r, background);
            previewRenderUtility.DrawMesh(meshPreview, Matrix4x4.identity, new Material(Shader.Find("MyShader")), 0);
            previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.position = Vector3.zero + quaternion * new Vector3(0, 0, -distance);
            if (distance != 0) previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.LookAt(Vector3.zero);
            previewRenderUtility.camera.Render();
            previewRenderUtility.EndAndDrawPreview(r);
        }
    }

I'm not sure what I have that is making the camera reset at -90 and 90 y until moving from those again

[opaque zenith]

so, what I would do, possibly, and, I'm still fairly new to a lot of Unity, so some of the bigger guys might know, but, turn off Auto - Refresh in preferences, then, have a script that you register to different unity events, then check out something like https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/introduction-to-preprocessing-commands#5f750d7fedbc2a002337d9ad

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityCloudBuildCustomScriptingDefineDirectives.html

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PostProcessingOverview.html

I'm assuming Auto Refresh exists for exactly what it is doing, so, although can be annoying, it guarantees to refresh with a compile. Unity though allows complete access to their engine, so although I don't really know where to start with this question, I know you can

[tough cairn]

i wish 😦 - allows complete access

[next temple]

Does anyone here know the modern equivalent of
pb_Math.BoundsCenter?

same for
pbUtil.ValuesWithIndices

[opaque zenith]

is that probuilder? If so, https://csharp.hotexamples.com/examples/ProBuilder2.Common/pb_Bounds2D/-/php-pb_bounds2d-class-examples.html

Although not necessarily a new method being used that uses those, this should have examples of how to use those

[next temple]

alright thank you

it seems like they got removed after v2 but i will try those

[whole steppe]

Hi everyone, I don't know if this question fits this channel, sorry for if it is inappropriate.
I'm using visual studio code but my script doesn't debug, and inside of my unity project, the .vscode file is empty. I installed the debugger for unity, but it is not listed when I click the run and debug button. Help?

[winged crest]

Hey everyone, I'm following Freya's intro to tool dev video series and at https://youtu.be/pZ45O2hg_30?t=2437 she says that running the following code in the editor creates an asset that will not destroy itself unless you expressly destroy it through code:

Material mat = new Material( shader );

She then says that it's better practice to use hide flags such as the example posted on this documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/HideFlags.html

I'm just wondering if anyone can clarify why we need to use hide flags here. I couldn't find any other resources online that talk about potential asset leaks arising from this issue.

[gloomy chasm]

I could be wrong about this, but I believe Freya is mistaken/misspoke. It does not create a permanent asset. It creates it in memory and it will be destroyed when the session ends.
Further more, the editor periodically will go through and unload unused assets to keep memory usage in-check, when it does I believe that the instance of the material that was created will be unloaded and thus destroyed.

[winged crest]

So I did a quick test and it actually does persist in memory so long as Unity stays open. If you create a material through script in edit mode and assign it to a mesh renderer, it stays assigned to that renderer even if you delete the original code and start/stop play mode. However restarting Unity will remove those materials, so I guess they get destroyed when exiting Unity.

[opaque zenith]

hey guys

            distance += currentEvent.delta.y;
            distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance, minDistance, maxDistance);
            quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(quaternion.eulerAngles.x + currentEvent.delta.y, quaternion.eulerAngles.y + currentEvent.delta.x, 0);
            quaternion.y = Mathf.Clamp(quaternion.y, minXRotation, maxXRotation);
            previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.position = quaternion * Vector3.forward * -distance;

trying to figure out why I have this problem

the stuttering type part

I even tried setting the clamp lower, but seemed to still be causing it to freak out when it gets close to being upsidedown

[winged crest]

I think you meant to clamp quaternion.eulerAngles.y instead of quaternion.y

[opaque zenith]

either or, even doing something like quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(Mathf.Clamp(quaternion.eulerAngles.x + currentEvent.delta.y, minXRotation, maxXRotation), quaternion.eulerAngles.y + currentEvent.delta.x, 0); causes me the same problem

[winged crest]

are you normalizing your angles?

[opaque zenith]

I did not, adding that seems to help, but, not fix the issue?

[winged crest]

Clamp doesn't work with angles unless you normalize them first. Try this

    public static float NormalizeAngle(float a)
    {
        if (a > 180f) return a - 360f;
        else if (a < -180f) return a + 360f;
        return a;
    }

            distance += currentEvent.delta.y;
            distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance, minDistance, maxDistance);
            quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(
              Mathf.Clamp(NormalizeAngle(quaternion.eulerAngles.x + currentEvent.delta.y), minXRotation, maxXRotation), 
              quaternion.eulerAngles.y + currentEvent.delta.x,
              0);
            previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.position = quaternion * Vector3.forward * -distance;

[opaque zenith]

so this stopped the crazy stuttering, but, still have this problem happening

this is in the OnInteractivePreviewGUI so idk if I'm getting issues somewhere else?

here is the entirety

    public override void OnInteractivePreviewGUI(Rect r, GUIStyle background)
    {
        Event currentEvent = Event.current;
        if (currentEvent.isScrollWheel)
        {
            distance += currentEvent.delta.y;
            distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance, minDistance, maxDistance);
            Repaint();
        }
        if (currentEvent.isMouse && (currentEvent.button == 0 || currentEvent.button == 1))
        {
            quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(Mathf.Clamp(NormalizeAngle(quaternion.eulerAngles.x + currentEvent.delta.y), minXRotation, maxXRotation), quaternion.eulerAngles.y + currentEvent.delta.x, 0);
            quaternion.y = Mathf.Clamp(quaternion.y, minXRotation, maxXRotation);
            Repaint();
        }
        if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint)
        {
            if (!meshPreview) SetMeshPreview();
            previewRenderUtility.BeginPreview(r, background);
            previewRenderUtility.DrawMesh(meshPreview, Matrix4x4.identity, new Material(Shader.Find("MyShader")), 0);
            previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.position = quaternion * Vector3.forward * -distance;
            if (distance != 0) previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.LookAt(Vector3.zero);
            if (distance == 0) previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.LookAt(previewRenderUtility.camera.transform.forward);
            previewRenderUtility.camera.Render();
            previewRenderUtility.EndAndDrawPreview(r);
        }
    }

oh whoops

I forgot to comment out that one part

let me see if that fixes is

[winged crest]

yeah just get rid of this line
quaternion.y = Mathf.Clamp(quaternion.y, minXRotation, maxXRotation);

[opaque zenith]

yeah, sorry about that, I thought I did, give me a second

[opaque zenith]

yeah, still basically giving the above video results

I was thinking I might need to use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.FromToRotation.html somehow, but, I'm not sure. I think I'm having some problem with the way I'm handling this the stutttering is the camera actually correcting itself from going upsidedown

but, I thought clamping it would fix that, so idk

[winged crest]

Mmm, so it looks like you're using quaternion to set the position of the camera but LookAt to set its rotation. It looks like the bug you're getting is with the camera's rotation

you might be able to fix it by giving your LookAt a WorldUp vector

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.LookAt.html

[opaque zenith]

uh, didn't think think about LookAt. Let me mess with that

ty

[winged crest]

Another issue might be that your LookAt will change the camera's rotation, so if your quaternion variable depends on that then the two functions will conflict with each other.

gtg, good luck debugging

[opaque zenith]

I could probably leave the LookAt out for what I'm doing, it was mostly originally there just to make sure if I accidently did something it was still looking at point of origin

[opaque zenith]

okay, so part of my problem with clamping is it never reached the min/max I had set because I never set the initial values, so it never reached either basically. rotateX = Mathf.Clamp(rotateX, -89, 89); is a bandaid solution for now, but, sometimes would like to figure this out more

[whole steppe]

Visual studio is not detecting unity

i already tried reinstalling vs

(visual studio)

[whole steppe]

I got this

even though i already have it installed

[visual stag]

That's not where it's telling you to look

[whole steppe]

where whould i look sir?

[visual stag]

Read what it said?

[whole steppe]

i already did that sir

[visual stag]

Then click regenerate project files and see if that fixes it

[whole steppe]

already tried many times

[whole steppe]

do you think it is a unity bug or a visual studio bug?

[visual stag]

No idea. I use JetBrains Rider and have never had issues.

[whole steppe]

can you take a look at unity's source code?maybe it's a bug

[visual stag]

I don't work for Unity

Maybe you're missing a developer pack or something. No harm checking https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net471

[stark geyser]

And check that the VS package in package manager is up to date as well

[whole steppe]

i checked

[stark geyser]

Reinstalling from the Hub directly would be the best as well.

[whole steppe]

how?

[visual stag]

Add it as a module to an installation

There's a drop-down you can find on an install to add the modules

[whole steppe]

yes sir

it is not working

any other ideas?

ping me if anything

[stark geyser]

@whole steppe If you manually delete solution files and trying to open the script from Unity, does it regenerate project files?

[whole steppe]

how

should i delete library?

[stark geyser]

by selecting .sln and .csproj files in the root of the project and deleteing them

[whole steppe]

ok

[stark geyser]

Does it happen with new project?

[whole steppe]

it happened to all my projects

[stark geyser]

if not then delete Library.

Unity manages project files and sets up references. If it can't edit them, then something on your OS prevents it from doing this

Either lack of rights or security program.

If you're out of ideas I would advise removing every copy of VS you might have, cleaning up remainder files as well. And do this for Unity as well. And install it cleanly into a new non system location. Like root folder or another drive. With VS component from the start.

[whole steppe]

yes sir

I'm making custom Editor Window for downloading data from the internet, but I need to store API keys and stuff somewhere. Where can I store it so it won't be included in game build?

[stark geyser]

Scriptable Object inside Editor folder should work https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SpecialFolders.html

[primal heron]

Could also use scriptable singleton which is perfect for this sort of thing.

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScriptableSingleton_1.html

I use it for backup for editor tool config backup. Persistence is part of this class.

What did I do wrong? Tables property disabled for some reason

public class LocalizationSyncSettings : ScriptableSingleton<LocalizationSyncSettings>
{
    public Table[] Tables;

    public void SaveState()
    {
        Save(true);
    }
}```

EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("Tables"));```

It worked some time before, but now disabled and I don't know why

[opaque zenith]

possible not a big deal, but, why does

[CustomEditor(typeof(SkinnedMeshRenderer))]
public class SkinnedMeshRendererEditor : Editor
{
    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        //DrawDefaultInspector();
        base.OnInspectorGUI();
    }
}

both base and drawdefault cause the properties to be displayed out of order?

normal

DrawDefault

Base

is a component like Skinned Mesh Renderer not actually the right customeditor to make a customeditor for? Is there a different script already doing OnInspectorGUI things I need to make the custom editor for?

is at the bottom, so, the editor is correct. Is there a way to search for anything possibly altering this component

instead of just the metadata for the component

The first part with the scriptable singleton seems ok. I don't understand what you're trying to do in the second part with serialized object.

[unborn lava]

I'm just drawing properties of the singleton like if it was inspector, but in editor window

[primal heron]

fields in the singleton can be accessed as LocalizationSyncSettings.instance as in LocalizationSyncSettings.instance.tables to get that field.

[unborn lava]

I know, but I want to be able to edit values from Editor Window

[primal heron]

u need a custom editor with an OnGui. That's what I'm doing. I have a large editor-only config file called blahblah.cs which is a scriptable singleton and a custom editor blahblahEditorWindow:EditorWindow. In the OnGui I can access (well I used properties so in the set{} I could embed the Save() method call that's part of the ScriptableSingleton) anything in blahblah like this '''var blah = blahblah.instance''' (obv not really called blahblah)

[unborn lava]

I do actually use OnGUI of EditorWindow, but I wanted to have this cool array editor by using PropertyField

But this seem to do not work for some reason

[primal heron]

Ahh I never use that system.

Serialized props I mean. But you don't need them for simple fields. Edit: unless you want to do multi-object editing

[unborn lava]

Yeah but i have arrays which apparently don't have easy solution to draw in editor window except property field

[opaque zenith]

don't need searlized props for anything. It's just a lot easier (imo) to reference as a serialized property to display the property instead of having to find all the different editorgui and gui functions to display that property
