A way to execute code on editor launch but not on scripts recompilation
So as the title says. ExecuteInEditMode executes static constructor in three cases:
When project is opened
When editor state changed to playmode
And when scripts recompilation finished.
PlayMode is easily discarded with EditorApplication.isPlayingOrWillChangePlaymode, but I can't figure out how to disable execution after recompilation... To be clear, I need to execute some code only when Editor launched, once
I think that a platform dependent compilation is what you need
#if UNITY_EDITOR
//code
#endif
You should answer it ins$$anonymous$$d of comment. He can't accept your "answer" if it's a comment.
to be honest, I dont know if this is what he is looking, he probably know that "macros", and for some reason was using functions to check if is on editor, this is a different way to handle this, directly from compiler so... lets see what he say
Script recompilation is editor only stuff anyways) I'm talking about purely editor script
Okay I figured it out. To get OnUnityEditorOpened event:
We need create some empty ScriptableObject type. Every time in ExecuteInEditMode constructor we'll check "is our SO in memory?" with Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll.
If we'll find our SO in memory - it isn't the first time we got this event.
Otherwise we've got our event! Here we need to instantiate our SO and set hide flags to DontSave (this way SO will live in memory without any references to it and we'll be able to find it later)
Try Something like this:(Pulled from my main game manager)
Change '$$anonymous$$ainGame$$anonymous$$anager' to the script you are placing it in.
Thanks for the upvote! Did this do as you expected it to do?
