Hey
I've tried a few different attempts here to solve the problem and may have found a quirky but infuriating bug:
On Scene 1, I have a menu that allows the user to choose 5 objects and confirm their selection. On confirm, I look at the 5 objects and save their original prefabs from the library as gameobjects to 5 global variables. On loading the next scene, I look at the 5 globals and create the objects. However, these global vars are reset to None on scene switch.
Another method was to store the 5 global variables to a manager FSM which had its own 5 variables. I would DontDestoryOnLoad, and then grab its local variables and push them back out to the globals to repopulate. Still no dice, gameobject gloabals reset to none.
After trying some other prefabs, which worked, I pinpointed the issue:
If an instanced FSM tries to set the prefab it was instanced from to a global variable gameobject, it saves the instance reference instead.
I can repro this 100%.
Steps to repro:
- Instance a prefab in the scene which contains an FSM.
- In the FSM, save a reference to the original prefab to a global variable gameobject
- Before switching scene, observe the global variable has been populated correctly
- Switch scene, and notice the prefab reference is cleared out
- Change the Set Game Object to reference to any other prefab in the library (even if it exists as an instance in the same scene) and it will work.
