Unity Visual Scripting Group Node Boxes Disappear after running app in Unity

Unity Engine

Unity 2021.2.2f
Visual Scripting 1.7.6

With reference to the attached video.
Every time I play the App and stop it the Visual Scripting Group boxes disappear.
To get it back I have to Change the Unity theme or restart Unity.

Does anyone else get this issue?

You can try this workaround for now. Add it to a gameobject in scene and select bool to reload scripts on exit play mode.

Follow this bug on the Issue tracker

Seems to have more issues. After I implemented the workaround I noticed the inflow and outflow port also dissapears. Not that serious but does look a bit odd though. See attached image with red circles to show where there should be visual indicators for a in/out flow port.

Do you get any warnings coming up?

Good day, my friend… I added some extra info on the issue tracker. There were some warnings, none of which I recorded properly. I also tried to reproduce but could not. I do however get regular warnings that I cannot seem to hunt down though.

Example: (I get x1 when I run and x1 when I stop, ie. same warning twice)

Font not found for path:

Good thing you asked, lol. Found the source of the warning. I had some UI Builder “stuff” that is not used that caused the warning.

14

Has someone tried with a newer version?

Current 2021.2.5

15

I don’t believe it has been fixed yet

16

Thank you, I will wait until someone fix it, meanwhile, keep using Playmaker :frowning:

17

@VRGameDev just add this script to an empty GameObject and it will fix the issue for the time being

#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

public class ReloadScripts : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool ReloadOnExitPlayMode;

    public void OnDestroy()
    {
        if (ReloadOnExitPlayMode) EditorApplication.delayCall += EditorUtility.RequestScriptReload;
    }
}
#endif

Say thanks to @Trindenberg
