Data Binding to Gameobject property

Hi,

Im struggling to figure out how to bind the data from a slider to just a simple property field in a c# script. The docs say that binding can only be done to serialized properties, and Serialized data binding only works in editor and not in run time?

Is there a runtime equivilant of data binding? Or am I missing a finer point? Ive been through the examples, but they all seem be based on editor scripting or the inspector.

Thanks in advance

 

@jonathanma_
Can this work reverse?

There is a monobehavior variable

m_Score

And this can be bound to a Runtime UI label?

So as the Monobehavior variable updates, so does the label text?

 

Still no data binding?

Are there any good 3rd party solutions?

 

Hi, any update on this? Is there an ETA?

 

so did this make it into Unity 2023.2? The alpha is now available - is runtime data binding in the UI toolkit now?
thanks!

 

Does anyone know the answer to this? I see "binding-path" in the documentation but haven't been able to test it yet am finding no help in the docs. It seems like binding is just for the editor, though there's a progress bar with a binding field...

 

Thank you so much for that information. Is there a recommended means of implementing progress bars using UI Toolkit at this time? I've used sliders and am trying to learn more about creating custom controls to implement things like current progress level, a threshold line, max amount, etc. but am a little lost on that as well as how to do simple things like change the slider handle image. I'm honestly confused by the "greying out" of the control elements and am looking forward to the advancement of UI Toolkit. UI Builder is an excellent tool for designing UI, kudos to the team.

Maybe a more noob/intermediate-friendly series of tutorials on how to implement events/actions with this system beyond the onclickevent? Just thoughts from someone trying to teach themselves and fill in knowledge gaps.

Thank you again

**EDIT** I was over/under thinking this after confusing myself with too much research. You can still link a scriptableobject float value to the ProgressBar value in Monobehavior very easily. I haven't tested it with Actions/events but it's definitely not as complicated as I thought. Just ignore the binding path part for now (unless you're doing an editor script)
