Is there a way to stop Dictionaries from resetting, when changes in the code are made?

Hey there,

Everytime I change something in my code, my Dictionaries getting reinitialized and emptied.
Is there any way to stop the compiler from dooing that?

Example:
I have a ScriptableObject like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "SaveGame", menuName = "Assets/SaveGame", order = 1)]
2. public class SaveGame : ScriptableObject
3. {
4.     [SerializeReference]
5.     public Dictionary<string, bool> playerBools;
6. }

When creating an instance in the assets-folder, I can add all the strings an bools I want.
At the moment all I have saved are some bools for the player-character, but this script needs to be extented in the future. I really dont want to reset all my variables, when adding something to this script.

 

I'm not sure if you have some code in the background that handles display of dictionaries in the editor, but I can't make your code snippet do anything.

Have you looked into custom inspectors and property drawers? I know I recently found a small and simple blog that handles dictionaries in the inspector.

Maybe this helps: https://forum.unity.com/threads/fin...acted-from-system-collections-generic.335797/

 

I didn't know that Dictionaries arent serialized in Unity.
Will have a look at that asset, thanks.
