Question Custom Drawn variables reset on start

for some reason my custom drawn variables, get reset on start and have no idea what's causing this.
im very new to this syntax and i followed a tutorial to get this far. so it might be something obvious im just oblivious to.

here is my code

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3.    [HideInInspector]
4.     public bool AutoLockM;
5.     public GameObject AttackM;
6.     public Vector2 OffsetM;
7. #if UNITY_EDITOR
8. [CustomEditor(typeof(Attacks))]
9.     public class AttackCustomEditor : Editor
10.     {
11.         public override void OnInspectorGUI()
12.         {
13.         base.OnInspectorGUI();
14.  
15.         Attacks AttacksCast = (Attacks)target;
16.  
17.  
18.             DrawMelee(AttacksCast);
19.         }
20. }
21.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.     static void DrawMelee(Attacks AttacksCast){
3.  
4.         EditorGUILayout.Space(20);
5.  
6.         EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Melee Settings", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
7.         EditorGUILayout.Space();
8.         EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
9.  
10.         EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Lock To Enemy", GUILayout.MaxWidth(145));
11.         AttacksCast.AutoLockM = EditorGUILayout.Toggle(AttacksCast.AutoLockM);
12.         EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
13.  
14.         EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
15.  
16.         EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Attack Prefab", GUILayout.MaxWidth(145));
17.    
18.             GameObject x = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(AttacksCast.AttackM, typeof(GameObject), true) as GameObject;
19.         AttacksCast.AttackM = x;
20.         EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
21.         EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
22.  
23.        // EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Offset", GUILayout.MaxWidth(145));
24.         AttacksCast.OffsetM = EditorGUILayout.Vector2Field("Offset", AttacksCast.OffsetM);
25.         EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
26.     }
27. #endif
28.  

here is what it looks like pre and post play

Post:
the variables its defaulting to, is for some reason a previous state. idk

 

Whenever you change values via code you need to inform Unity these values have changed. In your case you never inform Unity the object has been changed (known as 'dirty'), so the values aren't written to disk.

Generally in IMGUI land you use

EditorGUI.Begin/EndChangeCheck()

to check if values have been changed, and record the object with the

Undo

class, or use

EditorUtility.SetDirty

.

Or you can use the SerialisedProperty system to manages this for you more automatically: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SerializedProperty.html

 

ooooh. alr thx, that makes sense.
