Gameobject responds properly only when in inspector panel

Im fairly new to Unity3d, I noted that certain parts of my code would not work. When i select the gameobject to view in the inspector panel the code works perfectly. Anyone come across this type of issue.

 

Is this code in a script that is running when not playing with the [ExecuteInEditMode] attribute?

 

Yes it is I commented out [ExecuteInEditMode] but still have the issue

 

Yeah, I find that it only seems to run in edit mode when you have the object selected and it's in the inspector. It's not really the behaviour you'd expect. I find a using the OnDrawGizmos() function is more predictable and is run more frequently, that function is called once a frame when the scene window is rendered which is more like what you might want?

 

if I comment out "//[ExecuteinEditMode]" shouldn't it allow objects to run in play mode

 

[ExecuteinEditMode] only enables code to run in edit mode. It does not stop code running in play mode. So it should not make a difference to play mode at all if it's there or not.

 

So your problem is that you have code you want to run in PlayMode but it's only running when you select an object. Is that object an instance in the scene? or is it a prefab in the project?

 

Correct, instance of a scene

 

What's the function that's not running? Start? Awake? Update? All of them?

 

appears to be Update, it runs the first time and will not respond again until you click on object and display inspector

 

I don't know, sounds odd. Is the script being disabled or is the game object inactive?

 

looks like it may be unity bug will download latest version
