Resolved Platform dependent compilation not working properly? Game view VS WebGL

Hello everybody,

I just wondered if it is possible to run some code only in the game view and other only in a built WebGL?
Sofar I thought PlatformDependentCompilation would do exactly that, but I get Logs for both cases in the game view, although it should be one or the other, right?

If I do run this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void Awake() {
2.         #if UNITY_EDITOR
3.         source_local = true;
4.         Debug.Log("source_local = true");
5.         #endif
6.  
7.         #if UNITY_WEBGL
8.         source_local = false;
9.         Debug.Log("source_local = false");
10.         #endif
11.     }

Although I should only get the log from the #if UNITY_EDITOR I get in the game views console in Unity 2021.1.15f1 on Windows I get both logs:

Code (CSharp):

1. source_local = true
2. UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
3.  
4. source_local = false
5. UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
6.  
7.  

 

Unity sets the platform symbols also in the editor for the active build target. E.g. if WebGL is your active build target,

UNITY_WEBGL

will also be defined in the editor.

If you want something to be compiled for only when not in the editor, you'd have to use e.g.

#if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_WEBGL

.

 

A great many thanks Adrian
Although it seems counter intuitive that UNITY_WEBGL is true in the editor your approach works fine.
