Resolved Must be instantiated using the ScriptableObject.CreateInstance method instead of new SO

Hi, everyone.

I have a problem and the following message appears:
"RemoteSO must be instantiated using the ScriptableObject.CreateInstance method instead of new RemoteSO"
Basically I have a Scriptable Object that contains other Scriptable Objects. On the other hand, I have a JSON file with the same structure, which I deserialize in order to fill the RemoteSO data using the following code:

RemoteSO auxRemote = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance("RemoteSO") as RemoteSO;
auxRemote = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RemoteSO>(jsonRemote);

Everything works fine, but I get Warning messages. What I can do?

 

You can't serialise or deserialise anything inhering from UnityEngine.Object, nor can you deserialise data and just 'assign' that to a Unity Object.

Your data needs to be represented as a plain class/struct and that data has to be stored inside the SO itself.

 

I know, but actually I have a complex SO with other SO inside. The error message is from this line JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RemoteSO>(jsonRemote) because i suppose when you Deserialize an object, a new Object was created. Also, it works perfectly, but i don't know why the error message is showing.

 

Doesn't change what I said. You can't and shouldn't serialise out entire Unity objects, it's not supported. What might work in one situation will likely fail in other situations.

Represent your save-able data with plain classes/structs, represent your runtime data with scriptable objects. Just sounds like a case where you need some serialisable surrogate classes.

 

Well. I follow what "iron_asaf" said on this post:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how...into-a-scriptable-object.838147/#post-5537302
And finally, I created a sister/clon class for each of my scriptable objects.
Then just deserialize the json with the sister classes and assign to my SO classes.

 

Which is pretty much what I said.
