Public property in inspector

So I have a MonoBehaviour, that has a bunch of private serialized fields.
And then some public properties that set those private fields.

I have an editor window that manages a set of components in a more structured way (so basically, no need to dig through the hierarchy).

However the public setter does not seem to update the serialized float in the inspector, is there any way I can do this without just making everything public?

I debugged in VS and it shows the value itself updated, just not the serialized value.

here's a small snippet:

 

assuming from what i can see in the snippet this is fine,
but you might wanna mark your object as dirty or use serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties

Code (CSharp):

1. if(GUI.changed)
2. {
3.     serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
4.     //or
5.     EditorUtility.SetDirty(target);
6. }

 

Hey @ProtagonistKun , Thanks for the reply.

So it turns out it was my bad, I have a window that is either a "Builder" or a "Manager". A builder if the rig isn't in the scene, a manager if it is.

The issue was, I was applying this to the prefab, thinking it was the in-scene reference.

I had some code that was meant to assign _rig to the correct object depending on the state (builder/manager). However, it always fell into an if statement assigning it to the prefab and not the in-scene reference.

Sorry for the post, it was just me forgetting to update the condition.

 

Ah right, not to worry. I ve had that one before trying to manage scriptable objects and applying their data to prefabs...
