Wait until scripts compile
Hello!
I'm making an extension for unity that imports some scripts. After I've imported the scripts, I need to make a game object and attach to it one of the scripts. Unfortunately, when I try to do that, Unity says that I have to wait until the script has fully compiled. What's the best way to go here? I mean, I refresh the Asset Database with AssetDatabase.Refresh();
I even load the assets with: AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(asset, ImportAssetOptions.Default);
But this error still persists. Does AssetDatabase.Refresh have any callback methods or something like that, or do I have to pause the program for some time and then try to attach the script to the gameobject? I tried with System.Threading.Thread.Sleep, but that seems to stop the compiling too.
Any suggestions?
I think the best bet would be EditorApplication.isCompiling. Keep in mind that if Unity recompiles any script, the whole Mono environment is "reloaded" and deserialized. This is also true for editor scripts. Only public variables of serializable types will "survive" the mono restart.
Another way might be to use an AssetPostprocessor, but i'm not sure if it will fire after the scripts have finished compiling.
Hi! Thanks for the sugestions, appreciate the help! I decided to export the needed things as a package and then import everything as before and the package with AssetDatabase.ImportPackage... Seems to be working. Thanks again!
If that works reliably, feel free to post it as an answer ;)
