Editor: Changing GameObject property through script

Questions & Answers
1

Hey,

what I wanna do is the following:

public override void OnInspectorGUI()
	{

		Object[] skillsObj = Resources.LoadAll("Skills",typeof(GameObject));		
		string[] skillNames = new string[skillsObj.Length];
		
		int i = 0;
		foreach(Object skill in skillsObj)
		{
			skillNames *= skill.name;*

  •  	i++;*

  •  }*

  •  EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();*

index = EditorGUILayout.Popup(“Skill:”,index, skillNames, EditorStyles.popup);

  •  if(EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())*

  •  {*

  •  	(this.target as EnemyClass).setRangedSkill((GameObject)skillsObj[index]);*

  •  }*
  • }*
    This works fine, as long as I don’t hit the play button.
    If I hit play, the variable I assign through the “setRangedSkill” function always gets changed to the value of the game object I am editing. So if I choose an option and then hit the “Apply” Button for the prefabs, everything works fine. But I just want to update this specific object, not the prefab.
    Where am I making a mistake?

I read an issue like this just a few minutes ago. Try setting the isDirty variable to true inside your gameobject when you change the variable. This will cause it to serialize its data.

Edit: EditorUtility.SetDirty( target );
