Trying to add a custom component inside PostProcessModel() in an AssetPostProcessor, but get a missing script.
I can add Unity components just fine (tried LineRenderer and CapsuleCollider), but any of my custom components I try adding don't work. I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere.
Here's the code:
// Inside AssetPostProcessorScript.cs in /Assets/Editor/
public class AssetPostProcessorScript : AssetPostprocessor
{
void OnPostprocessModel(GameObject go)
{
var comp = go.AddComponent<MyComponent>();
comp.someFloat = 0.5f;
}
}
// Inside MyComponent.cs in /Assets/Scripts/
public class MyComponent : MonoBehaviour
{
public float someFloat;
}
The postprocessor has no complaint, but when I drag in my .fbx to the scene, the GameObject has a missing script where MyComponent should be.
I don't (want to) believe Unity doesn't allow custom components to be added in AssetPostProcessor, so can anyone help me?
(edit) Worth mentioning that I can add MyComponent to the GameObject with no problem manually in the editor.
You may want to try using Undo.AddComponent instead. This should mark the gameobject as dirty and should save your changes properly.
If this doesn't work, try adding EditorUtility.SetDirty:
EditorUtility.SetDirty(comp);
after you added and changed your component. Note that an assetpostprocessor usually has some kind of condition when to execute the action(s). You rarely want / need this on literally every gameobject that you're importing.
Thank you! I don't know why, but my issue resolved itself after I loaded up to try this fix (I had tried restarting before, to no avail).
Your info is useful regardless. I do wish I knew what changed / went wrong when I had the problem though.
