Question by Aubrey-Falconer · Nov 28, 2011 at 03:45 AM · c#editor-scriptingcallback

Syntax for EditorApplication.playmodeStateChanged

I would like to build an editor helper which sets my game to it's first scene when I click play, regardless of which scene was open in the editor.

I thus need to detect when the editor's playmode state changes, but the syntax for registering an editor delegate in C# currently has me stumped.

Many thanks to anyone who can provide sample code for playmodeStateChanged!

This code:

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEditor;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class EditorHelper : EditorWindow {
     void playmodeStateChanged () {
         Debug.Log("State Changed!");
     }
 }

results in this error:

 ArgumentException: CompareBaseObjects  can only be called from the main thread.
 Constructors and field initializers will be executed from the loading thread when loading a scene.
 Don't use this function in the constructor or field initializers, instead move initialization code to the Awake or Start function.
 UnityEngine.Object.op_Implicit (UnityEngine.Object exists)

As far as I can tell, what you do here is this-

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEditor;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class EditorHelper : EditorWindow {
 
     public void Awake() {
         EditorApplication.playmodeStateChanged += PlaymodeCallback;
     }
     public void PlaymodeCallback () {
        Debug.Log("State Changed!");
     }
 }

Also, I think you might be mistaken as to what is causing that error- that is usually caused when you try to use a constructor or something with a MonoBehaviour or other special Unity class!

Thanks for your clarification! This makes more sense. I realized that I was grossly overthinking my original problem and didn't need anything other than checking if time was 0 in Awake, but I am sure I and others will have uses for editor delegates in the future.

Shouldn't it be

 EditorApplication.playmodeStateChanged += PlaymodeCallback;

I don't think just using = works, I think you need to use +=.
