Hi,
I would like to save the position of an object to an external database from within the editor (not at runtime). My question, which event in editor should I use to save it automatically, e.g. when I re-position the object this action, triggers the code to save the object new position.
I’m not sure there is a hook for this directly. Checking isDirty came to mind, but that doesn’t clear until the scene is saved.
So you’ll pretty much have to check every ‘frame’.
Which you probably want to do anyway. If a user click-drags on one of the XYZ fields in the Transform inspector I certainly wouldn’t want to spam off a billion calls to some database service.
Not to mention just typing into a field - or typing a mathematical expression in which case, what do you even save?
isDirty is an idea, thanks. Save operation does not need to occur immediately after a modification. I am going to try it after I finish the custom save editor window I started implementing in the mean time, as fail safe mechanism
