Bug List not updating

I have a List of strings which I'm editing inside the script by simply adding strings to it as I go. This list does not update in Unity. I don't want to edit it through the inspector with serialize, which I see has been suggested for this kind of thing. Elsewhere someone suggested adding
[System.NonSerialized], which I did but that didn't work either. List still won't update.

 

Show an example of your code.

Though something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public sealed class SomeMonobehaviour : Monobehavior
2. {
3.     private List<string> _someStrings = new List<string>()
4.     {
5.         "Bob",
6.         "Martha",
7.         "Bazza"
8.     };
9. }

Should work, though, ideally, you do this through the inspector. Though we will need more information of what's not working than "still won't update".

 

Thanks. It was just as you show, a List with strings, like this:
public List<string> somestrings = new List<string>()
{
"Bob",
"Martha",
etc. etc
}
But after looking at yours, using sealed, I decided to change mine to "static" and now it updates in unity!! So it's working for now ...

 

My use of

sealed

has nothing to do with it.

In your example the collection is

public

, thus, serialised. It should be

private

, and only

static

if it needs to be globally accessible.

 

What I mean is it was your use of sealed that gave me a clue as to the problem.
