Order of Execution Issue in Editor Mode

[fickle arrow]

kay I need some help in terms of why Unity is Updating so oddly

 public class LoadAllQs : ScriptableObject
    {
        public static Action OnLoadAllQuestions;

        private void LoadAllQuestions()
        => questionSOs = Resources.LoadAll<QuestionSO>(folder).ToList();
        private void OnEnable()
        => OnLoadAllQuestions += LoadAllQuestions;
    }

I've this static Action, that gets called whenever a
new QuestionSO gets created:`

public class QuestionSO : ScriptableObject
{
    private void OnEnable()
    => LoadAllQs.OnLoadAllQuestions();

    private void OnDestroy()
    => LoadAllQs.OnLoadAllQuestions();
}

But it updates in a weird way. When I create the first SO, it doesn't update, but when I create the 2nd or 3rd, it does

Can AssetPostprocessor do what you want? 🤔

Uhm

[fickle arrow]

If I know how to use it, maybe

[errant field]

read the docs for it

[fickle arrow]

Damnit

I'll

[faint remnant]

Basically you can hook into any asset that being imported
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessAllAssets.html

[fickle arrow]

So I need a class that inherits from AssetPostproccessor?

[faint remnant]

Yeah in editor folder/asmdef

[fickle arrow]

Do any of the C# timer things work in edit mode?

If it does, that'll probably be easier?

[faint remnant]

Hmm I wouldn't want to rely on timer but you can try

[fickle arrow]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Still doesn't work

Tried doing it on didDomainReload

But probably doesn’t get called at the right time

[faint remnant]

Is it getting called?

I'm thinking maybe your delegate is not getting registered 😄

[fickle arrow]

It is

[faint remnant]

Hmmmm that's weird

So Resources.LoadAll gives you empty list?

[fickle arrow]

No, it's just the wrong order of execution

So if I add one, it doesn't add one

But if I add another one, it adds the previous one

I think the domain reloading only happens when scripts change

When it has to recompile

Which isn't exactly what I'm looking for

[faint remnant]

Domain reloading? Yeah domain reloading will reset your event, that'd be another problem

Hmm you might eventually have to use AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath etc...

[fickle arrow]

hmmm it seems to load now actually

I did this

[faint remnant]

ah you checked the flag

I didn't see code that closely 😂

Well yes that works, if you want it to run only when specific asset imported you'd need to check type 😌 , but whatever works for you

[fickle arrow]

Not sure how to exactly specify that

I'm happy that it works kek

This works nicely :)

[faint remnant]

It will be called when you change any asset just to be clear 😄

[fickle arrow]

Yeah I am aware and that's really inefficient but I don't care XD

Been at this for waaay to long I'm just happy it works XD

[faint remnant]

Nice 😄 Glad it works. Good luck with your project!
