Hello everyone! I have been working on a problem for a while and I was hoping one of you might enlighten me.
I am aware that this might be a problem in my C# logic and not a Unity specific problem, but it could also be related to Unity’s serialization.
So basically I have this Custom Editor script :
[Serializable]
[CustomEditor(typeof(BaseCharacter))]
public class CharacterEditor : Editor {
public bool affinitysFoldout = false;
public BaseCharacter _target ;
public void OnEnable()
{
_target = target as BaseCharacter;
}
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
FieldInfo[] fields = _target.GetType().GetFields();
EditorGUILayout.Space();
foreach(FieldInfo info in fields)
{
if((typeof(BaseStatGroup)).IsAssignableFrom(info.FieldType))
{
BaseStatGroup statGroup = (BaseStatGroup) info.GetValue(_target);
affinitysFoldout = EditorGUILayout.Foldout(affinitysFoldout, info.Name);
if (affinitysFoldout) {
FieldInfo[] statFields = info.FieldType.GetFields();
foreach(FieldInfo statInfo in statFields)
{
if (statInfo.FieldType == typeof(AffinityStatistic))
{
EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal(EditorStyles.helpBox);
EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical(GUILayout.MaxWidth(150));
EditorGUILayout.LabelField(statInfo.Name.Replace("_"," "),GUILayout.MaxWidth(100));
EditorGUILayout.EndVertical();
AffinityStatistic stat = (AffinityStatistic) statInfo.GetValue(statGroup);
PropertyInfo[] propertyFields = stat.GetType().GetProperties();
foreach(PropertyInfo propertyInfo in propertyFields)
{
if(propertyInfo.PropertyType == typeof(System.Single))
{
EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical();
EditorGUILayout.LabelField(propertyInfo.Name,GUILayout.Width(200));
float f = (float)propertyInfo.GetValue(stat,null);
float ff = EditorGUILayout.FloatField(f,GUILayout.MaxWidth(40));
if (ff!=f)
{
propertyInfo.SetValue(stat, ff,null);
Debug.Log (ff + " AND " +(float)propertyInfo.GetValue(stat,null));
}
EditorGUILayout.EndVertical();
}
}
EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Sorry if its a bit long and not very minimized, but I think it’s needed for you to understand the problem. Now this is the BaseCharacter class overriden by the custom editor script
public class BaseCharacter : MonoBehaviour {
private float life = 0;
private float mana = -1;
public AffinityStatGroup Affinitys = new AffinityStatGroup();
public float Life {
get {
return life;
}
}
public float Mana {
get {
return mana;
}
}
The AffinityStatGroup class along with its base class :
[Serializable]
public class AffinityStatGroup : BaseStatGroup {
[SerializeField]
public AffinityStatistic Fire_Affinity = new AffinityStatistic(ElementalType.Fire);
[SerializeField]
public AffinityStatistic Water_Affinity = new AffinityStatistic(ElementalType.Water);
[SerializeField]
public AffinityStatistic Grass_Affinity = new AffinityStatistic(ElementalType.Grass);
}
[Serializable]
public class BaseStatGroup {
}
And finally, the AffinityStatistic class which derives from BaseStatistic :
[Serializable]
public class AffinityStatistic : BaseStatistic {
}
[Serializable]
public class BaseStatistic {
[SerializeField]
private float value = 0;
public float Value {
get {
return value;
}
set {
value = value;
}
}
}
And this is my output :

In the first code snippet, what I am trying to do is iterate through (BaseCharacter → Affinitys → Fire_Affinity → Value) using Reflection, and set the Value property with the Inspector. If I change the float field in the inspector, as soon as I unselect it it goes back to 0, indicating that it did not save. In this debug.Log :
propertyInfo.SetValue(stat, ff,null);
Debug.Log (ff + " AND " +(float)propertyInfo.GetValue(stat,null));
the GetValue always output 0 right after the SetValue when changed, which is weird…
The code successfully goes through the Property Value however, as seen in the debugger.
I am at a loss with this one, I could use some help from some of the smart people around here
