I apologize in advance for the throwback in the thumbnail .. I did wonder if anyone would notice .. wife noticed immediately and just gave me a look 👀

[@sealsharp]

I think AI art is more throw-up than throw-back but the content of the video is fresh as usual, good job!

[@iiznub1232]

Unity's Editor wizzard giving away his spells, as always :)

[@WarpedImagination]

Teach your spells freely, for true magic cannot be given away; it only grows stronger in the sharing .. or something about sharing is caring

[@soloqubit]

I really love tidbits like this. Short, simple, succinct. They make me feel all warm inside.

[@WarpedImagination]

Hopefully time will allow me to swing some longer form videos in soon as well

[@raymk]

WOW. just a wow extra knowledge. good tutorial as always.

Good someone remembers .. otherwise my pinned comment would be weird

[@twistedliverstudio]

Always with the best tips and saving us time from reading docs LOL though I do still need read them.

[@WarpedImagination]

I should make a website that catalogs all these tips so they are easy to search

[@ragerungames]

awesome tip!

@@WarpedImagination Always enjoying your content! Personally, I primarily focus on the Unity runtime API, so your channel is incredibly helpful for me to learn more about Editor APIs.

[@martin-schoen]

This one is nice, but I already used this.

[@WarpedImagination]

Good to hear someone else found this in the docs .. at the time I wanted to add to the inspector tab menu, never got around to getting that solution

[@Hietakissa]

Kind of unrelated, but regarding editor tooling; since Unity doesn't allow us to make a Texture2DArray natively within the inspector, I made a simple script that can create one for me from the selected textures, however I noticed that since I just overwrite the previous asset with AssetDatabase.CreateAsset, all materials that reference that array then lose that reference. Since the Texture2DArray class doesn't expose any way to edit the properties either (to edit the asset without completely overwriting it with another one), am I SOL? What I need to be able to do is set the texture data, which I can do with a pre-existing asset, but what I can't seem to be able to do is change the array size without creating a new asset.

[@WarpedImagination]

If you cannot get around the creating a new asset flow then instead you could create a script that replaces the selected asset and uses AssetDatabase.GetDependencies to find all the materials that reference it and update them to point at the new asset.

[@Hietakissa]

​@@WarpedImagination I believe GetDependencies does the opposite of what I want. If I understood the description correctly, it returns all the assets a given asset is dependent on, not all assets that depend on a given asset, which also correlates with it only returning itself as the only dependency, rather than a material that uses it. Seems like I'll have to keep replacing the references by hand :(

[@WarpedImagination]

Oh my bad .. rush replied Your right GetDependencies is the wrong way round .. unfortunately there is not a reverse (that I know of) so you'd have to code it, shouldn't be too hard though Get all materials AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:Material"); Load each in turn and check the texture references (obviously do this before any replacement takes place), there is a class called ShaderUtil which can return property types so you can iterate and find all the texture properties. Then see in the texture is the one you are replacing. Cache, do the replacement of the texture and then replace references. Its an expensive operation to run, so depending upon your project size it might need a progress bar .. however it would save time compared to by hand I would hope.
