HideFlags and Prefabs
My editor scripts create a prefab and then set it's hideFlags to HideFlags.NotEditable, HideFlags.HideInInspector and HideFlags.HideInHierarchy.
Everything goes right until I save and reload my scene. The prefab do not have the hideFlags any more.
This is a bug or i need to set every time the hideFlags?
Hi @lassade! How are you setting the the hideFlags property? You need to make sure that it is properly dirtied and picked up as a change before you save the scene. One way is to do something like this:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
public static void SetHideFlags (GameObject prefabInstances[], HideFlags flags) {
Undo.RecordObjects (prefabInstances, "Change Hide Flags");
foreach (GameObject instance in prefabInstances)
instance.hideFlags = flags;
}
This is how I'm doing:
[CustomEditor(typeof(Board))]
public class BoardEditor : Editor
{
...
void OnSceneGUI()
{
...
instance = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(template) as GameObject;
instance.transform.SetParent(target.transform, false);
Undo.RecordObject(instance, "Change Hide Flags"); // i added this but no effect
instance.hideFlags = HideFlags.NotEditable | HideFlags.HideInInspector | HideFlags.HideInHierarchy;
}
}
What if you also add a call to EditorUtility.SetDirty ()?
No luck with SetDirty.
I tried:
Use SerializedObject to change m_ObjectHideFlags
Edit the scene file (yaml) and change m_ObjectHideFlags attribute
Also in the yaml I added a modification in the prefab's modification list to try change m_ObjectHideFlags
Thx for the help
