I’m creating a custom editor and I’m having a weird issue.

When I change the values in the custom editor and click Play, the values get reset to their previous values… But…
If I make a change in the custom inspector Script (any change, like deleting a character, then adding it again), then re-save, and then change the values in the inspector, then these values act as expected and don’t get reset when I then click Play.

I’m using Unity 4.1.5f1 on a OSX 10.8.4.

Here is a simplified version of the custom inspector (I’m also using Lists of a wrapper class containing a basic int arrays),
but the reset occurs also with these basic IntFields:

// MachineConfig.cs
    
    using UnityEngine;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    
    [System.Serializable]
    public class MachineConfig : MonoBehaviour {
    	public int	 symbolHeight;
    	public int	 symbolWidth;
    }

// MachineConfigInspector.cs
    
    using UnityEngine;
    using UnityEditor;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    
    [CustomEditor( typeof(MachineConfig) )]
    
    public class MachineConfigInspector : Editor {
    	
    	public override void OnInspectorGUI () {
                EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
    		EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Symbol Width:", GUILayout.Width(80));
    		machineConf.symbolWidth = EditorGUILayout.IntField(machineConf.symbolWidth, GUILayout.Width(40));
    		machineConf.symbolHeight = EditorGUILayout.IntField(machineConf.symbolHeight, GUILayout.Width(40));
    		EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
          }
 }

…I also tried adding:

if (GUI.changed) {
	EditorUtility.SetDirty(machineConf);	
}

But it doesn’t seem to help…

Any help about why this is happening will be much appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks!

It seems like the issue was because I was marking a MonoBehaviour as Serializable.

When I removed the [System.Serializable] from above the class declaration (public class MachineConfig : MonoBehaviour), all the data seems to be saved properly.
