Hi,
I did the tour of Google and Unity resources, I just can’t seem to find an answer to my problem.
Basically I want use an EditorWindow to generate and manipulate some graphs tree that are then evaluated during the game. I generate those trees in the scene directly I may sometimes save them separately into a prefab but most of the time I just keep them into the scenes.
My drama as a lot of people had starts when I click play. The evaluation of the tree happens correctly but the visual of the tree I had in my custom editor window just vanished because it loses the reference to the scene object. So if I want to have this visual I need to redo the link manually on play time which is annoying.
Here is a sample to illustrate the same issue I basically have:
[System.Serializable]
public class Data : MonoBehaviour
{
public int difficulty = 0;
public string description;
}
public class MyWindow : EditorWindow
{
[SerializeField] // To be sure it is serialized
public Data data;
// Add menu named "My Window" to the Window menu
[MenuItem ("Window/My Window")]
static void Init ()
{
// Get existing open window or if none, make a new one:
MyWindow window = (MyWindow)EditorWindow.GetWindow (typeof (MyWindow));
window.Show();
}
void OnEnable()
{
hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; // Tried that
EditorUtility.SetDirty(data); // that too
}
void OnGUI ()
{
data = (Data)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(data, typeof(Data), true);
}
}
And here is my scene, where GameObject have Data attached to it and GameObject (1).
Whichever the one I use, the ObjectField keeps getting reset on play. While if I use the prefab of GameObject in the project panel it doesn’t. But it isn’t the prefab that will be running in my scene and that I want to debug. It’s the real instance in the scene…
Am I trying to do something that cannot be done?
Thanks.
