Can you change an Agent's public field at runtime through Python API?

Let's say I have an Agent like so:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class MyAgent : Agent {
2.     public int numEnemies;
3.     public int numGoals;
4.     ...
5. }
6.  

Right now what I can do is change the value of numEnemies and numGoals through the Unity interface, build the project and re-run with my Python code. This works, but seems terribly inefficient.

Is there a way to control those two variable through the Python API at runtime so I can just do something like:
env = UnityEnvironment(filename="myApp.exe")
env.numEnemies = 10
env.numGoals = 5
env.reset()

Taking a look at custom side channels, it seems like that might be what I want, but I'm not entirely sure.

 

I thought things like

Academy.Instance.EnvironmentParameters.GetWithDefault("my_environment_parameter", 0.0f);

only worked if I set the filename=None and ran it within the Unity environment. I would like to run this with a built binary and not through the Unity interface if possible.

 

Okay, so I misunderstood the documentation the first time. You CAN in fact set and reference through prebuilt binaries using GetWithDefault.
