How to get notified every time a value in the palette editor changes ?

[Kulgann]

I need to call graphic.SetVerticesDirty(); every time a Gradient value in the palette editor changes. How ever I can't seem to find the right hook. Neither SetValue on the Synchronizer nor the setter of my component seem to be called every time I make a change, yet the serialized field on the component is changing. I also tried the Gradient Synchronize Event set to "Editor and Runtime", but it seems to fire only on Entering and exiting play mode.

I don't know what's going on, so please show me in code.

So I copied the SampleGradient script from the documentation :

public class SampleGradient : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Gradient _gradient;
    public Gradient Gradient
    {
        get => _gradient;
        set
        {
            _gradient = value;
            Debug.Log("Setter being called!");
        }
    }
}

And this is the Synchronizer :

[AddComponentMenu("")]
[DisallowMultipleComponent]
[RequireComponent(typeof(SampleGradient))]
[GradientSynchronizer(typeof(SampleGradient),"Gradient")]

public sealed class GraphicColorSynchronizer : GradientSynchronizer<SampleGradient>
{
    protected override Gradient GetValue()
    {
        return Component.Gradient;
    }

    protected override void SetValue(Gradient value)
    {
        Component.Gradient = value;
        Debug.Log("Sync set value called!");
    }

    protected override bool EqualsToCurrentValue(Gradient value)
    {
        return Component.Gradient.Equals(value);
    }
}

One thing is that I needed to change _component to Component since _component is private and has a getter, maybe this should be reflected in the docs.

Now the Debug.Log("Setter being called!"); does not get called when I change a key value of the gradient in the palette editor. My use case is that I need to call graphic.SetVerticesDirty(); whenever the gradient changes to apply vertex colors from a custom component inheriting BaseMeshEffect. The Debug.Log gets called only when hitting the Apply button and when entering and exiting play mode.

I understand the situation. I think it might be a bug, so please wait a moment.

I've fixed and released it: https://github.com/Haruma-K/uPalette/releases/tag/2.5.2
You no longer need to write the EqualsToCurrentValue method. Please remove it.

I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether it went well or not.

Hi. Thank you this fixes the issue, our custom component is now updating correctly.

[Haruma-K]

not..?

[Haruma-K]

Does it mean that a compile error occurred?

[Kulgann]

I am so sorry. Autocorrect changed it to not. It was supposed to be "now". Everything is fine. Thank you again :D

I see, that's good to hear. Thanks for the report!
