Question Is there any way to access Unity SessionState at runtime?

I am storing some data in SessionState via an editor window script. Is it possible to retrieve this data at runtime in the editor during playmode? I don't have access to SessionState or any of the UnityEditor API during runtime, which makes sense, but I'm wondering if there's another way.

Thanks.

 

Of course, using the same SessionState API

You can use the UnityEditor API in editor play mode no problem. It's when you make a build that you can't use it.

If you are intending to access the editor session state in a build, that's obviously not possible.

 

Thanks for the reply. My problem is that I'm trying to access SessionState in package code that is built to a runtime DLL. I realized that this is why I don't have access to the UnityEditor API and this is also why I can't use the

#if UNITY_EDITOR

preprocessor directive.

Do you know of any way I can get around this?

 

You can set the assembly to be built in the editor (which will allow access to editor apis) in the assembly definition inspector in your package.

 

I do have Editor checked in the runtime .asmdef (see attached screenshot) but for some reason, I only have access to

UnityEditor.Experimental

. Trying to access SessionState results in

The type or namespace name 'SessionState' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEditor' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
