#

however: i can't get this to apply the changes in this second scenario. it applies correctly in the first but not the second scenario

#

and im not sure why that might be and was hoping to get some help with it

waxen sandal
#

You probably haev to use the same serializedobject

#

Or not call ApplyModifiedProperties all the time

#

Try only doing it in the change check

#

EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck/EndChangeCheck

lethal helm
# 
public override void OnInspectorGUI() {
            EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("roadNetworkAssets"));
            if (roadNetwork.roadNetworkAssets) {
                SerializedObject assetsObject = new SerializedObject(roadNetwork.roadNetworkAssets);
                EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
                RoadNetworkAssetsDrawer.Draw(roadNetwork.roadNetworkAssets, assetsObject);
                EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck();
                assetsObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
            }
            serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
        }
#

throwing it like there or something?

waxen sandal
#

if(EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) assetsObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();

#

And remove teh extra Apply at teh end

#

And you shouldn't recreate the serailizedobject every frame

Is there a way to reference what port or node a certain port is connected to in graph view?

#

Just a quick look at the API will give you the answer.

#

I've been really struggling trying to find out how to see if the selected object is an instance of a specific prefab

#

I'm using PrefabUtility.GetPrefabInstanceHandle() and comparing it to a prefab given through a field, and they don't seem to be "equal"

#

Googling the issue has been a huge pain cause I keep finding obsolete things from PrefabUtility, and finding people asking about checking this stuff during runtime, which isn't what I am trying to do

gloomy chasm
#

@whole steppe there ya go.

# gloomy chasm <@456226577798135808> there ya go.

Thank you!

I just tried replacing GetPrefabInstanceHandle() with both of those and neither seem to work. I am kind of confused about the terminology of things? I am not sure what the difference between the Instance Handle is and a "Asset Object" is

#

These prefabs are passed through a field in a ScriptableObject as a "GameObject"
And I am trying to compare the Selection.activeObject against them

gloomy chasm
whole steppe
gloomy chasm

#

I tried that and it doesn't seem to be working when I compare it with "=="

gloomy chasm
#

Use some debug.logs to figure out what it is giving you and what you are comparing

whole steppe
#

ah okay, I tried a more direct test and I know at least that SHOULD work, so I apparently had another issue stacked ontop of it

thanks a ton!!!!

hi
visual studio code just stopped showing errors and also no autocomplete or unity syntax
first time this happens to me i tried :
uninstalling and re installing
rebooting pc
deleting extensions and re installing them
checking unity preferences visual studio code is the default code editor
it used to work fine i don't know what happened
the errors are showing on unity's end but visual studio code nothing

hushed mirage
#

yea, i've had bad luck with that omnisharp in vs code on mac 😦
my solution was to switch to Rider, but i realize that's not much help

#

the only thing that comes to mind is that your uninstall/reinstall may have left vs code configuration intact

#

either way, i'd look into finding the error in vs code or omnisharp's logs.. they must be visible somewhere..

chilly lily
chilly lily
#

yeah there's a folder named "Code" in "appdata" which has all visual studio stuff i deleted that and gonna reinstall hopefully it goes well i'll update if anything new happens

chilly lily
#

nothing worked so far sadly

#

Do you use Unity Code Snippets by Kleber Silva

chilly lily
#

yeah

whole steppe
chilly lily
#

so it was an update that broke something

whole steppe
#

Possibly, feels like there'd be more people here wondering

whole steppe
#

I guess not

chilly lily
#

hmm inetresting

#

maybe something else ?

#

i literally did nothing its impossible for it to break just by itself

#

its also not detecting the sdk missing which is odd

whole steppe
#

@chilly lily Using this seems to be just as good as what I was used to

#

Do you have this

chilly lily
#

nope

#

Try it

#

For me it re-adds a lot of the functionality that vanished

oh ok thanks a lot i will

#

Hey everyone. A quick question. Is there a command in Unity that Serializes/saves an object? In Editor time i mean

#

So far I use

Assets.SaveAssetIfDirty(obj);

But is there a more proper way for that?

waxen sandal
#

Context?

supple willow
waxen sandal
#

Yes, I know you're talking about editor btu there's like 5 different ways to save changes to a file

supple willow
#

I'm familiar with Unity editor utilities; so I'm also surprised there's alternative ways for that

waxen sandal
#

So, you're calling SaveAssets because you want to save to disk right?

#

Which likely implies this is some automation and not user input

#

If it is user input then you likely want to do Undo.RecordObject instead and don't call SaveAsset as it then will save when the user saves the project

#

There's also InternalEditorUtility.LoadSerializedFileAndForget and InternalEditorUtility.SaveToSerializedFileAndForget which let you save outside of Assets

#

(ScriptableSingleton uses those for example)

jovial zealot
#

How do I get the field type from serialized property

waxen sandal
#

If you're in a PropertyDrawer then there's also the fieldInfo field

supple willow
waxen sandal
#

Probably not something you'll want to use often fwiw

supple willow
#

Git wise?

waxen sandal
#

You should only use those if you're doing things outside of the assets dir

#

And ScriptableSingleton is often a better alternative if you do

supple willow
#

What's your personal preference for saving changes?

waxen sandal
#

I don't usually force save things

#

I just register it with Undo

#

And have Unity handle the saving

supple willow
#

When u deal with drawing objects rather than serialized properties, u gotta manually save it at some point

waxen sandal
#

But if I really do then what you're doing is pretty decent

supple willow
waxen sandal
#

Most things I do are based on user input and thus you have to create an asset at some point and then usually I use serializedobejcts

#

Also am doing File.WriteAllText currently due to the files being TSV text files

supple willow
#

The whole problen started when I was forced into drawing Odin inspector in the window ... U see Odin don't do serialized property, it uses some tree objects that i think is some complex black box.. so i just try to guess and save changes at some point

waxen sandal
#

oof

jovial zealot
waxen sandal
#

But can't you record it with Undo and then have it automatically save

supple willow
#

Yeah, and it gets even more complicated when i have to put some Reorderable List in there that uses raw serialized objecy

jovial zealot
#

the type name? really

#

And how do I reliably get the type?

waxen sandal
#

Type.GetType

supple willow
waxen sandal
#

Or find the FieldInfo yourself based on the PropertyPath

jovial zealot
waxen sandal
#

It's really an antipattern so no

#

There's some links if you scroll up a lot on how to do it

supple willow
# jovial zealot And how do I reliably get the type?

Just as a help, really, these kinda questions are way better to be asked from google. Really for your own sake; because later on you'll find yourself asking a question here that no one has the time to answer, and u gotta know how to google that

#

Navi here is a life saver, but they might go offline anytime

short tiger
#

SerializedProperty doesn't have a fieldInfo or field type property because not all serialized properties have an underlying C# field.

waxen sandal
#

Also a good point

supple willow
waxen sandal
#

e.g. FontAsset has a bunch of properties that are not exposed on the managed side at all

jovial zealot
#

And I saw the conversation was active

#

Usually I do google, which usually brings me to bad or outdated answers, or Unity documentation, which is mostly trash

supple willow
#

re-read the thing and seems I had misunderstood your question. Sorry mate🤞❣️

I am currently trying to capture an image (icon of an item) from the scene and store it as a Sprite to reference it in a scriptable Object. all automated.

I am facing one issue currently. When i captured the screenshot, its stored as .png file but isnt directly imported. but how can i manually import it and set the image type to sprite? when unity manually imported it, i cannot set it to sprite by code (idk how its working)

# 
ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot(imagePath, 1);
                await Task.Delay(100);
                
                //equipment.iconSprite = GetSprite(imagePath);
                EditorUtility.SetDirty(equipment);

This is working but its not importing as i said above

half solstice
# 
TextureImporter importer = AssetImporter.GetAtPath(path)as TextureImporter;
 importer.textureType=TextureImporterType.GUI;
 AssetDatabase.WriteImportSettingsIfDirty(path);

this solved my problem. 10k google results but only one that shows the helpful code 😄

how do i disable script compilation in the newest stable version ( 2021.3.3f1 ) ?

#

ah nvm found it :

# tough cairn ah nvm found it :

that means unity won't recompile the scripts when you save them on visual studio and switch back to unity ? so how do you refresh manually ? i never tried it and i'm thinking to try it

this is roughly what my scripts looks like ( without using any custom editors ) :

// To avoid cluttering the context menu , nest the asset creation under ` Text ` tab
[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Variables", menuName = "Text/InGameVariables", order = 1)]
public class InGameVariables : ScriptableObject
{
    [System.Serializable] public class VarNamed
    { 
        public string name; 
    }

    [System.Serializable] public class VarBoolean : VarNamed

seems only to be effected on Scriptable objects

#

but the same is true wherever there is a List of a Serializable class

i dont have currently a SO

#

can you send me a tiny example where i can try it?

#

mybe your editor is corrupted, or the version is corrupted

Are you using odin

tough cairn
#

no

#

latest LTS : 2021.3.3f

#

just upgraded from 2021.2 - the same problem wasn't there before

upbeat flume
#

then upgrade to 2022

#

could be that the compile version changed and you need a recompilation?

#

I am using the LTS of 2021.3.3f1

and im getting this too

whole steppe
#

Yeah, me as well! Same version.

tough cairn
#

oddly enough the bug is only for the first element ( 0 ) , if you expend any other items it will be ok

#

so for now im making an empty new element , moving its position and editing the second element ( 1 ) , then when my edits are done i delete the temp one

Hi folks. I'm looking to control the Unity editor via an external interface, for example, a server over TCP. In particular, I'm looking to be able to rearrange GameObjects position and rotation in the editor space without actually clicking on the gizmos or changing the values in the boxes. I was hoping I would find an interface similar to blender has with python. Figured before I go live memory editing, I would drop in here for a quick sanity check.

#

Thanks so much 🙂

#

just as an example: in blender I can move objects like this and then use python for networking

import bpy

scene = bpy.context.scene
for obj in scene.objects:
    obj.location.x += 1.0
gloomy chasm
#

Not really sure what you are looking for beyond that.

ancient cedar
gloomy chasm
ancient cedar
#

Okay cool! But in that case, how would I have a process or thread running inside Unity that will communicate in real-time with the server while a game isn't running. It looked to me like that wasn't possible, but maybe I'm misunderstanding

#

The editor scripts seem to run when a GameObject of a certain class is selected in the editor

gloomy chasm
#

You just start a thread.

ancient cedar
#

But where? Sorry, I simply don't understand the script architecture haha

#

In an editor script?

gloomy chasm
#

I have no idea what your setup is or what you are trying to do so it is hard to give advice about the implementation

#

The editor is a C# runtime just like playmode is.

ancient cedar
#

I gotcha, I'm just wondering where I can write some code that will run while the editor is open. I'm trying to add another way to interact with the editor window, so I need the editor window to accept network messages and do things appropriately

#

I suppose I mean Scene view

gloomy chasm
#

no no no

gloomy chasm
#

Note that any time you enter playmode or scripts recompile, the C# domain is reloaded.

#

So that means you will need to 'reconnect' to your server/client

ancient cedar
#

So if I literally write this script and it exists in my project heirarchy it will run and do things whenever the C# domain is reloaded, aka when I save a C# file?

#

I mean in my assets, not project heirarchy

gloomy chasm
ancient cedar
#

So it would need to be on an empty or something

#

and then it should immediately start doing things

gloomy chasm
#

No

#

It literally just has to exist

ancient cedar
#

Oh good!

#

Interesting

#

anywhere?

gloomy chasm
#

Unity does some reflection to find all static classes that have the InitalizeOnLoad attribute, and calls their static constructor.

#

In an Editor folder

#

If you want it at runtime then you need [RuntimeInitalizeOnLoad] attribute

ancient cedar
#

Excellent, I'll give it a shot

#

Thanks

#

Yup

#

What version are you in?

whole steppe
#

oh, 2020.3.12
I probably should update it

#

I'm also curious if I can move the scene camera pivot with undos too, but its not a huge deal if I cant

#

gonna update unity now

gloomy chasm
#

2021.2(I think) has a window which lets you view the undo stack which can make debugging this sort of thing easier.

gloomy chasm
whole steppe
#

I'm not sure how the Undo system works at all, but the only thing I am registering is at RegisterCreatedObjectUndo()

#

I dont need to register what tool was being used or anything?

gloomy chasm
#

Undo works by having a stack of items. And each item has a list of actions. Any time you register an undo, a action is added to the list of the top item in the stack. When you do IncrementCurrentGroup, the next undo you register will create a new item and push it to the top of the stack which will only have that one action in it.

whole steppe
#

When you say action, are you referring to System.Action?

gloomy chasm
#

So when you do Ctrl + Z to undo, the top item in the stack is popped off and the list of actions is run through, each 'undoing' whatever they were.

whole steppe
#

I ask because if I could register my own Actions then that would solve my problem I think

gloomy chasm
#

No I mean the webster's dictionary type of action (a thing that happens)

whole steppe
#

Ah rippp

gloomy chasm
#

What I described is a broad generalization of how it works.

#

It is actually done in C++ and what actually happens is the data from the object is simply replaced with the data of the object when you call Register

whole steppe
#

Yeah yeah, thats how I assumed it works generally. I guess I need to know details and I dont know what details I need to know.

You sure I dont need to register what tool was active in an undo group?

#

Is there a way to add custom behaviour to undos at all???

gloomy chasm
#

Well yes, but it is a pain

gloomy chasm
whole steppe
#

maybe I will find a solution later

gloomy chasm
#

If your code is separate enough, try opening it in a 2021.2 project so you can get the undo stack window.

#

It really does help give a better idea of how it works

whole steppe
#

definitely good to know, thanks!!!

gloomy chasm
#

Wait tell you find out that selection changes are inserted in to the current stack and don't affect redo 🙃

Hello. I've been trying to access current highlighted element in inspector through code. Something like an OnFocusEvent for object components(Like transform, Mesh Renderer or Box Collider), so that when I click on a component I get it's name and/or properties. I've been able to call getType, but I haven't found any way to get this triggered only when clicking the component. As of now I've created some scripts that are CustomEditor that get triggered everytime the object is selected, but is there any way to detect specifically the component selected?

So I'm working on a tool for generating ColorPresetLibrary assets (palettes). This is what I have:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

namespace EffortStar.Editor {
  static class PaletteCreator {
    [MenuItem("EffortStar/Tools/Convert image to palette")]
    static void CreatePalette() {
      const string ColorPresetLibrary = nameof(ColorPresetLibrary);
      DebugUtility.AssertEqual(Selection.count, 2, $"Must have {nameof(Texture2D)} and {ColorPresetLibrary} selected");
      var source = Selection.objects[0] as Texture2D;
      var palette = Selection.objects[1] as ScriptableObject;
      DebugUtility.AssertNotNull(source, $"Select a {nameof(Texture2D)} first");
      DebugUtility.AssertEqual(palette.GetType().Name, "ColorPresetLibrary", $"Select a {ColorPresetLibrary} second");
      var pixels = source.GetPixels();

      // Create serialized object.
      var serializedPalette = new SerializedObject(palette);
      var presetsProperty = serializedPalette.FindProperty("m_Presets");

      // Clear colors.
      presetsProperty.arraySize = 0;

      // Add colors.
      for (var i = 0; i < pixels.Length; i++) {
        presetsProperty.InsertArrayElementAtIndex(i);
        var element = presetsProperty.GetArrayElementAtIndex(i);
        var name = element.FindPropertyRelative("m_Name");
        name.stringValue = $"Color_{i:D2}";
        var color = element.FindPropertyRelative("m_Color");
        color.colorValue = pixels[i];
        Debug.Log($"{i} Setting {name.stringValue} to {color.colorValue}");
      }

      // Complete.
      serializedPalette.ApplyModifiedProperties();
      EditorUtility.SetDirty(palette);
      Debug.Log($"Completed");
    }
  }
}
#

It runs successfully, but the changes aren't being applied for some reason...

#

Am I doing something wrong?

visual stag
#

I wouldn't use SetDirty if you're already using serializedObject, did you just add that because it wasn't working?

barren moat
#

Also tried ForceReserializeAssets

#

File didn't change

#

I ended up making it manually, but it would be very nice to get this tool working if anyone has any ideas.

#

Many palettes in my future

#

It's such an unloved feature of the editor

Hey guys, was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm having.

So I have an "OnChanged" custom attribute that I want to use to call a function when a value has been changed in the inspector:

in the image the part I have highlighted is where I'd like to invoke the passed in method using reflection maybe? (unless there's a better way entirely)

Any ideas?

OnChangedAttribute.png
#

Or even just the best way for an attribute to get all the fields and methods on the script in which it is being used, that would be useful information to have for all sorts of custom attributes, not just this specific "OnChanged" attribute in question

gloomy chasm
#

Then you use reflection to get the method and invoke it.

#

The important thing to remember if you do it yourself is to account for arrays and SerializeReference

Is there a way to run a function ONLY whey Unity starts and not on every script (re)load ?( I mean I can do that with a flag but I was wondering if Unity has this in-built)

Put a flag in SessionState

Yeah it is

That's literally the purpose of it

I know, the documentation says that but not in my case 😦

waxen sandal
#

what version are you on

primal minnow
#

2022.1
But let me see, I am gonna debug this.

#

Oh, the cause is I have InitializeOnLoadMethod on a function which executes way before the Unity loads up completely, like in the middle of loading the Project 😦

#

That function is where I set the session bool

#

Is there something that I can use to run the code when the Unity has completely loaded ?

waxen sandal
#

Define completely loaded

#

What are you doing that InitializeOnLoad doesn't work for

primal minnow
primal minnow
#

and by middle of project load I mean that loading progress bar window with Unity Splash image window

waxen sandal
#

And that's a problem because?

#

because I am launching my editor window in that method and Unity opens and closes it when using InitializeOnLoadMethod

waxen sandal
#

Try putting it in a EditorApplication.DelayCall

Hi!
My Editor script for my scriptable is behaving quite weirldy, imo...
Like the array to the right is just so compressed, how can i tell him he can stretch the properties?

public void TwoPropertiesHorizontal(SerializedProperty left,SerializedProperty right) {
        EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(left);
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(right);
        EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
    }
    public override void OnInspectorGUI() {
       
        TwoPropertiesHorizontal(serializedObject.FindProperty("ScreenName"),serializedObject.FindProperty("character"));
        TwoPropertiesHorizontal(serializedObject.FindProperty("InactiveKeyposes"),serializedObject.FindProperty("ActiveKeyposes"));
        serializedObject.FindProperty("WalkingSprite");
        EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical();
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("PositionLeft"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("PositionMiddle"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("PositionRight"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("PositionNikky"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("PositionNikkyFriendo"));
        EditorGUILayout.EndVertical();
        EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical();
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("StandingPositionLeft"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("StandingPositionMiddle"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("StandingPositionRight"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("StandingPositionNikky"));
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedObject.FindProperty("StandingPositionNikkyFriendo"));
        EditorGUILayout.EndVertical();
        EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

Doing so many things on one line you're better off calculating the positions manually and possibly not using PropertyField

#

You can change labelWidth to something lower to get a bit more space but manually calculating is really better at that point

I have some serialized fields on some of my components and scriptable objects. The components and SO's are used in my game, but the data itself is only used in the editor. Is there an attribute or some other way that I can use to strip these fields from the components/SO's when the project is built? I know code stripping has a PreserveAttribute, but I wonder why the oppositite doesn't exist to force code stripping no matter the stripping level?

#

The only thing I can think to do is use a post scene processor class to assign null to the fields, however I'd prefer to strip out the fields completely instead.

gloomy chasm
wintry badger

#

Hmm, very bizarre. I'm using PostProcessScene attribute to null out the fields. When the field is a Scriptable Object, it nulls out correctly (in built player checking whether the field is null shows it null), but when the field is a normal c# class (with Serializable attribute), it will not null out.

#

Guess I'll just remove all references to the fields and hope that code stripping strips it out at build time.

I have this code inside an EditorWindow's OnGUI function and the "you wrote" label never gets populated with what I write in the textfield. I'm pretty sure that OnGUI is getting called because the buttons that are created in there do work.

It would be considered pretty bad UX.

So what should I do? Can I force the window to reopen?

gloomy chasm
#

If you really want to you could but it would be a pain to do. There are lots of instances in Unity where you can perform an undo action and not see the result so I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

#

This is how most software works.

#

One of the exceptions I can think of is Blender, but it also registers window changes with the undo system already so it isn't a thing.

pure siren
#

Yeah I guess that makes sense, I just feel like it could be confusing if you are spamming undo and it changes things on a Window you can't even see. I guess that's on the user though.

gloomy chasm
#

An example in Unity is the animator. Create an animation with some key frames and then undo.

gloomy chasm
pure siren
#

Also unrelated, but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong with the TextField in UI Toolkit, but it is registering an undo change with every character I type.

gloomy chasm

#

The only thing that sucks I guess is that the PropertyField control uses the non delayed version for strings and I don't think I can control that. Might be just something I'll have to live with lol.

@atomic flower about your question of displaying plain C# objects in an editor window. You can do it manually of course by accessing the property and using plain TextField or IntField etc. and handle the binding and undo yourself.
The other (recommended) option is to just use a SerializedObject and SerializedProperty like normal.

#

You would construct the SerializedObject from whatever UnityEngine.Object holds the POCO instance.

#

You can even make a SerializedObject of a EditorWindow if that is what you want.

Oh wait, are you using SerializeReference?

atomic flower
#

Yeah

gloomy chasm
#

Then yeah it is null

atomic flower
#

Ok, interesting

gloomy chasm
# atomic flower Ok, interesting

See, by default serializes every field by value, so they are never null even if they are classes. But when you add the [SerializeReference] attribute Unity will then serialize that field by reference if it is a class. This means that of course it can then be null.

#

And it also means it can do polymorphic serialization and other cool stuff.

atomic flower
#

Huh. That makes sense, but I created a simple property drawer and put a debugger statement in OnGUI and I can see an instance of the BaseClass being passed in

        property.type; // managedReference<SuperClass>

gloomy chasm

No-ish

#

If you have no property drawer, and the field has value, it will draw like any other field.

#

However there is no build in way to assign an instance in the inspector to a field serialized with [SerializeReference]

# steep hull Anyone ? <:UnityChanThink:885169594560544800>

You would use a toggle and style it as a button. You also have a int field that stores the index of the currently selected button. When you toggle one of the buttons you check if another button is already toggled (the field is above -1) and if it is, then you toggle it off, then set the one you want to be toggled on and set the int field to be the index of the new toggle button.

#

if that makes sense

But it still creates an edge even if edgesToCreate is null

atomic flower
#

Ah, or edgesToCreate is a reference to an array that exists in the previous scope and overwriting it only changes that reference, leaving the actual edgesToCreate list unchanged. Turns out you have to maintain that reference and mutate the existing array. I'm too JavaScript-brained to think of these things.

edgesToCreate the callback happens after you create the edge in your graphview, otherwise it won't do anything

Hello. I've restructured my OnGUI code so that all which was inside OnGUI is now being called from Methods() inside another static class.
That meant I had to switch from this.Repaint() to refering to the editor window component used to open the window. - _window.Repaint()
All good, but one small issue, only related to development:

  • When the window is open and I change some code, Unity reloads the assemblies, and I set it up so that the window will close when open, if I click the Window shortcut button.
    But after moving the code from OnGUI to the static methods, the window says Failed to Load and I have to manually click the window away.

Any fix for this?

There are two options, one is to listen for when any key is pressed, and check if the Selection.activeObject is an audio clip, if so play it. I think there is an internal event getting a key press in EditorApplication, so you would need to take a peek at the source code.

The other option is to add a callback to the projectWindowItemOnGUI event, and when a key (whatever you want) is pressed it checks if it is a audioclip and if so plays it.

#

patent pebble
#

looking at the source code is also very helpful

glacial sail
#

That's what I did, maybe I missed it but I didn't see the part where the source code uses Event.current.GetTypeForControl(controlID) to filter by current controlID which is what's stated in that article.

patent pebble
#

well, the article just does a hyper-simplified example

#

the actual built-in controls do more fancy shmancy stuff

#

so they're bound to be different from most examples you'll find on google

glacial sail
#

Well, really I just want a simple button implemented from scratch that responds to mouse event only (but handles stuffs like hover/press-leave-release/etc) to have a good reference on what the proper way is.

#

The article example is indeed hyper simplified.

glacial sail
# 
var controlID = GUIUtility.GetControlID(FocusType.Passive);
switch (e.GetTypeForControl(controlID))
{
    case EventType.MouseMove:
        if (_isEntered != isEntered)
        {
            _isEntered = isEntered;

            if (isEntered)
            {
                OnEnter?.Invoke();
                GUIUtility.hotControl = controlID;
            }
            else
            {
                OnExit?.Invoke();
                GUIUtility.hotControl = 0;
            }
        }
        break;
}
#

According to that blog, since I'm already setting hot control to the current control's ID, it should prevent the event from being picked up by another control

#

But when I try it with two overlapping controls, they both get triggered.

patent pebble
#

you have to read the entire article or you're gonna miss simple stuff like that

#

you need to consume events

#

with Use()

glacial sail
#

I did read it, but the article also says e.GetTypeForControl(controlID) already does the filtering.

#

The solution to this is to make use of GUIUtility.hotControl. It’s just a simple variable which is intended to hold the control ID of the control which has captured the mouse. IMGUI uses this value in GetTypeForControl(); when it’s not 0, then mouse events get filtered out unless the control ID being passed in is the hotControl.

patent pebble
#

yes, hotControl captures the mouse events, but whenever it gets set to 0 again, every other control will be able to receive the input again

#

you always need to consume a mouse event with Use()

#

or it will bleed to other overlapping controls

#

                case EventType.Repaint:

                    break;

this is the source code that Button and Toggle use

#

notice how they Use() the event in every input case

glacial sail
#

And they also don't use GetTypeForControl like the blog says.

patent pebble
#

well, each control has a different way of handling that stuff

#

some of the internal controls do use GetTypeForControl

Honestly it's just confusing

it is yeah, but once you've gone through it a couple times it's easier to understand

Why write your own button anyway when you can just style the built-in one :p

glacial sail
#

Actually you know what, not even their built-in handles overlap correctly.

#

I can mouse over the middle part and both buttons get lit up.

patent pebble
glacial sail
#

Not sure if it counts as very advanced

#

But I basically need to simulate and trigger event system stuffs like IPointerEnterHandler directly in PreviewSceneStage so I can test each individual things inside the editor.

#

But maybe at this point it's more trouble than it's worth, if not even the built-in handles overlap correctly.

patent pebble
#

@glacial sail does the click register on both buttons? or only the mouse over?

glacial sail
#

Both buttons react and change appearance, but the bottom button gets the click event.

patent pebble
#

well, having overlapping UI in the same window is usually not something you want anyways

glacial sail
#

That's kind of what I have to deal with.

#

anyone also encountered this? i'm making a tool that uses OnSceneGUI to catch some hotkeys, especially the tab key. it only works once and then it doesn't - it just doesn't register the tab key after the first time. i don't have the problem with Unity 2019, only in 2021.

#

if i keep the tab key pressed though it "works" again, but i don't want that as "solution"

#

it also seems to work if i keep the right mouse button pressed

#

hm, maybe some control catches the tab before i can use it

crude relic
#

@fossil gyro when you press tab it focuses the scene search box, which then eats all the input events

#

in order to prevent that you have to do your key event handling in the beforeSceneGui callback

#

and make sure your control id and event.Use is in order

zinc spoke
#

Hello, how would i go about minimizing selected object in the hierarchy?

crude relic
zinc spoke
glacial sail
#

Let's say the event is used by a control later down the update cycle, controls earlier will all get an event that's still unused.

#

After some messing around I'm even less sure what purpose GUIUtility.hotControl serves, control IDs seem to change so it doesn't really help filtering out events (maybe that's an issue specific to OnSceneGUI)

#

So if either GUIUtility.hotControl or using the event can help with dealing with overlaps, the only solution is to write my own solution for handling overlaps/event capturing, and basically reinvent the whole wheel.

#

Kind of a waste of time.

I just started up unity installed the latest lts version and created a 2D URP Project.
Now when I write a script I have this really weird behavior (VSC):

First Picture: Everything is fine
Second Picture: after writing anything the file somehow reloads and doesn't recognize the namespace anymore
What I already tried: deleting the sln and csproj files, regenerating them

Hi! i'm trying to do a property drawer that draws a bool array and a table of toggles, 5*5.
I'm having a bit of trouble, because my property evaluates to null, because the table isn't initialized, and i wondered how i could do like "MySerializedProperty = new bool[]", which is not your typical thing lol

well, i'm not getting errors anymore bc i'm checking if it's not null, but i'd like to know what to do so that it's not null in the first place ^^'

#

yep! exactly the same

gloomy chasm
#

Like, are they really public fields and not properties.

tough stream
#

(except that those are 2 different files)

gloomy chasm
#

It looks like it should work...

tough stream
#

everything is public indeed

gloomy chasm
#

You could try doing property.Copy().Next(true).Next(false) and see what that gives you

#

iirc that should be the bool array

tough stream
#

now what the ... is that?? Never saw Next() in my whole life lol

#

(trying rn)

#

"bool does not contain a definition for "next""

gloomy chasm

#

okayy now my copy is clearly not null, i get no errors but nothing is draw in my object.

#

tried Debug.Log(copy == null); returns false

#

SpellPath.pathBool

#

so litteraly what we want right

#

btw i replaced my "boolArrayProp" with "copy" everywhere

#

got rid of my boolArrayProp, commented the line, just to be sure

gloomy chasm
#

So.. does it work then?

tough stream
#

nothing is drawn lol

#

copy.GetArrayElementAtIndex(caseID).boolValue = EditorGUI.Toggle(actualRect,boolContent,copy.GetArrayElementAtIndex(caseID).boolValue,boolStyle);
This is supposed to draw a toggle, right...?

#

definetly

So it will only draw for a single frame

indeed, removed it from the if

reduced my code to the necessary

(in the paste, not in my .cs lmao)

#

property drawers work when i have a field of its property, as well as arrays right? it's not just wokring with arrays?

#

Hmmm, try passing "" instead of boolContent I wonder if they are drawing but the label width is putting it off.

#

Also can try drawing using GUI.Button to make sure it is working

or even GUI.DrawRect

sounds about right

Hi. I'm trying to draw a mesh from EditorTool inside the OnToolGUI using Graphics.DrawMesh, and it kinda works fine, but the mesh disappears after a moment if a game view is also opened in the editor. I am drawing the mesh if current event.type == Repaint. This didn't happen with EditorWindow and drawing the mesh in SceneView.duringSceneGui. I pass the sceneView.camera into the DrawMesh method, and there is only 1 scene view, gameView doesn't count as one. I also have a Handle.DrawWireDisc drawn the same place as the mesh, right before the DrawMesh, and that works every time - mesh disappears but the handle is still there.
How can I fix this?
I tried changing the event type to Layout instead of Repaint and then the mesh stays on screen, but it sometimes gets redrawn multiple times, and the handle doesn't show so that's not really a workaround.
Using DrawMeshNow also works fine (inside the if Repaint)
(Using unity 2021.3.2f1)

Looks like a bug :/ doesn't happen (same code) in 2021.2.8f1

if there's RegisterValueChangedCallback there probably is UnregisterValueChangedCallback

you should put your lambda into a method that you register/unregister

# gloomy chasm So you know the file doesn't exist? But you are still trying to get it anyway, a...

So in here:cs // Declared variables. readonly static string assetsPath = Application.dataPath; readonly string sdkExists = assetsPath + "/VRCSDK"; readonly static string versionPath = assetsPath + "/VRCSDK/version.txt"; readonly static string returnedValue = File.ReadAllText(versionPath); readonly static string strippedVersion = returnedValue.Replace(".", string.Empty); readonly double localVersion = double.Parse(strippedVersion);

I'd like to think of it as just a declared variable, and shouldn't perform what it's supposed to until it gets called, is that how variables work?

Or does it still perform the task despite the fact that it isn't inside a method?

If the first case applies then:

I don't know what's causing it to rung the task, I know I'm calling it inside a method with an if statement, which should verify if the directory doesn't then don't do the certain task, but if it does, then preform the task that requires the existence of a file inside that directory...

But if the second case is correct:

Then thanks for the info!

#

I tried to debug it, and it seems that the second case is correct, now I think the right way of resolving it is to declare my variables inside that method, is that quite right?

#

Actually yea! That got it done!

Hey, fellas. I am building an editor extension using GraphView, but I have an issue. I am using the class StackNode and for some reason, I cannot drag an edge from the port of the stack

#

I can actually drag it from an external node, to the port of the stack, but not the other way around

Does anyone have an idea why this can be?

I found it. Apparently I didnt have to remove the label... weird that it wont work without a label...

My EditorWindow is ready to be used, I'm making it a .unitypackage the EditorWindow I made requires a Package from the Package Manager I'm using this exact method to add the package **Adding a package to the project: **
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-api.html
How can I make the call whenever the user imports my .unitypackage aka EditorWindow into their project so they don't encounter any unnecessary errors?

peak bloom
#

you do the usual check to those installed packages Request = Client.List(); just iterate the list

waxen sandal
#

If your unitypackage is reliant on a package from the package manager then your code won't compile and thus you can't add it programmatically right?

#

You probably have to do it the other way around

peak bloom
#

I think they updated the assets store tos, last year, to not include packages that are existing/already in the assets store.. if you can't add it programmatically, then how would you deal with that?

#

tbh I've never published any packages to assets store, but would like to know as well

whole steppe
waxen sandal
#

You can theoretically make another asmdef file and have that compile but iirc unity doesn't if you import it while it's running, it'll only try to compile and execute it when you restart

#

Separate classes in the same assembly can't compile and run if there's any compilation errors in that assembly

whole steppe
#

I still don't know how that would be done, however I'm 100% sure that it's possible since I know of a .unitypackage that relies on some packages from unity registry, and it imports them when you import the .unitypackage...

peak bloom
#

see the embed part

not sure what kind of embedding that is

You probably want to trigger that from an InitializeOnLoad method and check whether it's already in the project

Ok, here's what you do. There are two KeyDown events: one that contains a KeyCode, and one that contains the raw typed character. In order to properly override the keyboard you have to handle both of these cases.

There are a bunch of nuances to consider and I don't remember why some of the decisions I made are in my code anymore, but this should get you most of the way.

fossil gyro

thanks, i'll see where that leads me

crude relic
fossil gyro

ah, Event.character is interesting

seems to work! thanks a lot @crude relic

fossil gyro

hmm

somehow there is no KeyCode.None event for Tab in Unity 2021. the code works in 2019

crude relic

that's interesting

this code was built for 2019

How do I disable/hide certain options using a button and once the button is pressed disable it as well, it's like: "which one do you want?" and according to that we go to the next page...

And GUI.enable = false

This doesn't seem to get what I want done, it only makes them noninteractive, what I want is to completely disable/remove them out the way and show a different window/page...

Anyone know how to make a custom Editor animated while in Edit mode?
I was trying to use Time.realtimeSinceStartupAsDouble into Handles and Gizmos but they all freeze when there isn't a GUI event being sent

whole steppe
crude relic

When you set one to true set the other one to false

whole steppe
crude relic
#

What is value

whole steppe
#

true or false?

crude relic
#

What do you mean by doesn't let you

whole steppe
crude relic
#

Yes

#

Use GUI.changed to detect when the toggle is clicked

#

And switch it there

#

Or Begin/EndChangeCheck

whole steppe
#

Or this?cs animAvatarsSec.target = !animWorldsSec.target;

#

And then this:cs animWorldsSec.target = !animAvatarsSec.target;

#

One issue is when I click the active toggle beyond once, it does the animation all over again as many times I click it...

why bother asking when you just going to ignore what people answered you...

I’m made a custom edit script that shows a list of public variables that include a string, TextAsset and Texture. I made it so that when you close the Editor window the values of the public variables are saved into a JSON then into the EditorPrefs, and when loaded back when opening the window. But for some reason when I close the Editor and/or machine, some or all of the public variables for only the TextAsset and Texture become cleared or are assigned a different object (sometimes not even the same object type). I tried saving the JSON also during EditorApplication.isquitting but the same issue persists.

crude relic
#

You can't persistently reference assets through JSON, it doesn't serialize them properly

crude relic
peak ocean
#

@crude relic Thank you, does it work with custom EditorWindow scripts that uses a custom serializable class?

crude relic
#

@peak ocean that depends -- in that context the ScriptableSingleton would be replacing (or containing) your custom serializable class

#

my answer is assuming that you want to have a single, global, persistent state for this editorwindow

#

if you want to maintain multiple states, you should save the configuration as a ScriptableObject in your Assets folder instead

peak ocean
#

@crude relic There would only be one state for the editor window where it displays some string and a list of values from a custom serializable dictionary where each value contains a string, TextAsset, and Textures.

#

Funny thing is that the object references from the JSON seem to be fine when all the objects (TextAssets and Textures) are from the same folder that I imported. The weird stuff happens when the objects are from Unity’s Textures that are already in the project.

peak ocean

How do you load data from a file that was saved using a ScriptableSingleton? I see that a file get created when using Save(true) and there is the GetFilePath() method but how did I get access to the file to load the saved data?

waxen sandal
#

Use the instance property

wanton silo
#

how come it's not recognising my script as existing

keen palm
#

is it using the namespace?

peak ocean
#

@waxen sandal That works only when you are in the same Unity session but when you close it and reopen Unity the data doesn't persist. How do you get the data from the save file when opening Unity?

waxen sandal
#

It does work, you gotta provide more context

gloomy chasm
waxen sandal
#

If it's getting saved then they have

#

Assuming he looked at the file system to see it's getting created

#

Either they're not saving or don't have serialized variables

gloomy chasm
#

Oh yeah, I think in short it comes down to "show code please".

peak ocean
#

It shows how to save and such but it doesn't mention about how to load data from the save file after when opening Unity. In this instance, the m_number will retain while in the same Unity session but when reopening back up the variable will reset back to its original value and not the saved value on file.

gloomy chasm
#

If you copy paste all the code there, it will load back up once the editor starts

If you mean just any handle, then no there is no way to disable all handles except yours afaik (maybe with some reflection...)

wintry trout
#

I mean the default ones for the active GO

gloomy chasm
#

Yeah those are EditorTools

wintry trout
#

Are they like not common Handles?

gloomy chasm
#

All handles are are like fields in the inspector, just a mechanic to show and interact with a value.
The EditorTool class is to Handles, what the Editor class is to GUI

#

It provides an nice and unified API for showing controls in the scene view

# 
Vector3 position;

// This shows the value in the scene view.
position = Handles.PositionHandle(position, Quaterion.identity);

// This shows the value in an editor window.
position = EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field(position);

hi everyone! i made a custom property drawer to quickly let me see durations:

#

since this replaces the default property label, it loses the ability to click the label and drag the mouse to change the value

#

i sorely miss that, is there a way to add this behaviour to the custom property?

waxen sandal
#

Source?

lethal helm
#

custom drawer:

waxen sandal
#

I think you shouldn't be using prefix label but let property field draw the label

#

Not sure if there's a way to enable the dragging with prefix label

#

You can check the reference source to see how it's done

lethal helm
#

my concern is that putting the property field into the first rect will make it bisect the label in a different place to the rest of the inspector, so it won't be aligned

How to prevent ListView's internal pooling?

I found out after I noticed that a custom left margin of certain element was being re-used for unrelated items that are shown in the listview

any idea how to prevent that?

waxen sandal

You should reset your item to the proper state in the Unbind event

#

I think there's also a field you can set to disable virtualization but my docs are broken

You can't disable it afaik. You just need to handle binding better

hello, I have a problem with Custom Property Drawer. Ive put the code here: https://gdl.space/eqapucufan.cs
The problem im running into is that I cant click any of the checkbox bool elements in the inspector but for some reason can mark the first one with space if I click on the name of the variable

gloomy chasm
main pebble
#

absolutely, it looks like this

#

in this case its part of an array of 3 elements but it behaves the same even as a singular variable

gloomy chasm
#

I am still looking at the code but a note. PrefixLabel returns a rect, so you can just do Rect newPosition = EdGUI.PreLab(..);

#

noted and changed, thank you

gloomy chasm

What if you don't have the GUIContent.none in the PropertyField?

main pebble

on top of that its still not clickable

I was wondering if it was because the labels were going over them.
