Saving changes in a component modified by an editor script
I need to give a few objects an unique id. Instead of doing it by hand I wrote an editor script.
The script works perfectly, but it doesnt save the changes even after i save the scene (it reverts the id to 0 when i enter play mode)
Here's the script (the relevant part) :
public bool assignedID = false;
public string id = "";
void Awake()
{
if (Application.isPlaying) return;
if (!assignedID)
{
// these work perfectly, ignore them
assignedID = true;
id = GetUnusedID();
// none of this works
EditorUtility.SetDirty(this);
EditorSceneManager.MarkSceneDirty(EditorSceneManager.GetActiveScene());
EditorSceneManager.SaveScene(EditorSceneManager.GetActiveScene());
}
}
Really need to see the whole script to help properly. But, if your "id" field was part of the mono behaviour and not the editor script, it would serialize properly.
This is the full script: http://pastebin.com/fbZajVGd
I think your problem might be that Unity only serializes certain primitive variable types. Not sure if Long is one of them. Have you tried making it an int ins$$anonymous$$d to see if the serialisation works?
After 20 years of trial and error I seem to have fixed it. You have to break the prefab instance or it will keep resetting.
PrefabUtility.DisconnectPrefabInstance(this);
There's probably a better workaround but this one worked for me.
Tried that. Nothing worked for me until i broke the prefab.
Had similar problem, changed fonts in editor but no saving. Helped this topic: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1042052/change-text-in-text-component-from-editor-script.html
you need to set dirty before making a change
