Refresh inspector view after changing code

Unity Editor Interface
1

Hi…

I can’t seem to refresh the inspector after I change my code
I am sure it’s a very basic action
but I can’t seem to find it anywhere

example:
create new code,
attach it to some go,
on the inspector you can see the script

add new parameter:
var param : boolean = true;
save the code
the param is shown on the inspector - signed as true (check box is checked)

now change to:
var param : boolean = false;
save the code
on the code the change is saved but on the inspector it is still signed as true
I have to un-check the check-box myself

how do I keep the inspector fit the code??

That’s not how public variables work…they always take their values from the inspector. It would be very bad if you spent a lot of time tweaking all your public variables, only to have them obliterated and set back to the defaults specified by the script whenever you happened to save it.

True, I don’t intend to change them through the script, but sometimes I do have to change my code
(I don’t know about you, but my code is not perfect the first time I save it… :smile: )

it was just an example to explain my problem…
you can see here a more relalvant case: http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=54619

One way is to declare the variable as private, save your code, then change it back to public.

Or just do this:

var myBoolean : boolean;

function Awake(){
	myBoolean = true;	
}

Whatever is in Awake will over-ride the inspector once you hit Play.
