Instantiate an instance (clone) only copies public fields?
I cloned an instance by using Instantiate() and passing the instance, not a prefab, but an instance already in the scene. All public fields were copied but all private or protected fields were reduced to the type default.
I expected an exact copy.
Is this result the expected result or a bug?
I guess I can pass a reference to the original and then reference that, but that is a hack that would only work in rare situations.
As far as I know, a deep copy requires [Serializable], which doesn't do anything for private variables, so what you describe is what I would expect.
It looks like these work :
public Transform ref;
[HideInInspector]
public Transform ref;
Obviously only the first shows up in the inspector, which includes the debug tab.
I'm not sure if this will matter, but in theory anything that shows up in the Inspector's debug tab should work and I just made a property which, to my surprise, shows up:
public $$anonymous$$yType myType { get; private set; }
shows up as
k__Backing Field
...with the reference after as you'd expect. I'm guessing this means that anything with a public getter would work? (Untested)
