Can't change values in custom inspector

Questions & Answers
1

Hello everybody!

I’m currently trying to make a custom inspector so that i can easily change variables.
This is how the principle works:

Child editor script fetches variables from components → custom editor fetches those from the child editor → displays them → if any changes are made, sets the child script variables to the same value → child script sets all variables correctly in their respective components

The problem is that i can’t seem to change the variables in my custom editor. Anything i try to do gets reverted back automatically. Is there a solution?

Extract from code:

showFoldout10 = EditorGUILayout.Foldout(showFoldout10, "Optimisation");

//Optimisation
if(showFoldout10)
{
EditorGUILayout.Space();
EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Amount Of Rays", coverAmountOfRays);
EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Fielf Of View", coverFieldOfView);
EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Distance To Check", coverDistanceToCheck);
EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Patrol: Frames To Check", patrolTickBarrier);
}

if(GUI.changed)
{

SetVariablesToChild();

}
else
{
GetVariablesFromChild();
}

Thank you, Nikita

You need to actually set the value back:

 coverAmountOfRays = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Amount Of Rays", coverAmountOfRays);

You have to reassign what was typed in the inspector, just like you would a textfield with regular GUI

coverAmountOfRays = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Amount Of Rays", coverAmountOfRays);
coverFieldOfView = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Fielf Of View", coverFieldOfView);
coverDistanceToCheck = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Cover: Distance To Check", coverDistanceToCheck);
patrolTickBarrier = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Patrol: Frames To Check", patrolTickBarrier);
