Problem with embedded arrays

[olpenelle]

There seem to be a bug in PlayMaker 1.7.7:

If you have a serializable class that contains an Array:

Code: [Select]

[Serializable]
public class TestA
{
    public int[] testArray = new int[0];
}
and use that inside a PlayMaker action:

Code: [Select]

public class MyAction : FsmAction
{
    public TestA myTestParameters = new TestA();
}
The PlayMaker editor will get confused when trying to serialize that (it'll start happening only after you change the size of the array in the editor:

Code: [Select]

ArgumentException: Object type int[] cannot be converted to target type: TestA
Parameter name: val
System.Reflection.MonoField.SetValue (System.Object obj, System.Object val, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/monoAndRuntimeClassLibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.Reflection/MonoField.cs:133)
System.Reflection.FieldInfo.SetValue (System.Object obj, System.Object value) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/monoAndRuntimeClassLibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.Reflection/FieldInfo.cs:150)

Is there a known workaround or a fix underway?

Thanks

Hi,

 yes, I think it is a known issue. I can't get this to work neither.

Same here... any word on a fix?

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 I doubt there is s fix actually, it's a unity restriction with how it serializes data.

 the way to get around this is to use scriptable objects, study this, this is likely your way out.

bye,
