FSMVariable needs to be 'new'ed[SOLVED]

I have created a new action and have had to write a custom editor for the action due to wanting to put in a custom dropdown that is searchable.  I have used EditField() for a couple of the fields in the action, but have written custom code for one of the fields, which is an FSMInt.  I have declared

Code: [Select]

FSMInt  id;
then the custom editor code actually does a bunch of stuff to convert item in a list to the proper id, etc.  But the one thing that I've found is that id is null when the object is first created.  I had to do

Code: [Select]

public override void Reset()
{
   id = new FsmInt(0);
}

in order to not have uinhandled exceptions in the action Reset code so that id is not null in the custom editor.  Why is this?  It just seems strange that I don't have to do this for other variables that are edited with EditField so I suspect something is happening behind the scenes.

I'm fine with this solution, but just want to make sure that I'm not missing something subtle or buggy.

Hi.
if you want a value to be set, then you could do  id = 0; instead of new

what are you doing in the action?

it should not give an error .

is the value user input or are you receiving the value?

Hi,

 yes, this is by design, it's ok to do that when you use custom editor and complex setup.

the same would be true if you had a custom serialized class.
Bye,
