Is OnDrawGizmos called in build?

Questions & Answers

Simple question but couldn’t seem to locate a definitive answer… Are functions like OnDrawGizmos or OnDrawGizmosSelected ever called when running a build? I assume they only run inside the editor in scene view but I just want to be sure! I have an OnDrawGizmos helper function that’s doing a lot of GameObject.Find and would be disastrous if it runs in the build. :slight_smile:

No, they won’t be executed in a build

You can also use the Conditional attribute to make sure the function is excluded from the build:

[Conditional("UNITY_EDITOR")]
void OnDrawGizmos()
{
    // ...
}

It’s the same as:

#if UNITY_EDITOR
    void OnDrawGizmos()
    {
        // ...
    }
#endif
