Question by Shnayzr · Jan 06, 2017 at 10:13 PM · editor-scriptingcustom editortextfieldeditor scriptingeditorscript

EditorGUILayout.TextField changes back to first value I input [GIF of the problem inside]

When I input for example "aaa" in that text from the custom editor and then change it from another code. and then i click on the field again, my initial input "aaa" is set as the current value.

https://gfycat.com/SoggyBigCrow

here is the full code:

 public class TestingBug : EditorWindow {

 string abc = "0";
 int num = 0;

 [MenuItem("aaa/bbb")] 
 static void GettingWindow()
 {
     GetWindow<TestingBug>();
 }

 private void OnGUI()
 {
     abc = EditorGUILayout.TextField(abc, GUILayout.Width(200));

     num++;
     abc = num.ToString();

 }

 }

Can you provide the full editor script?

I don't understand what the example is supposed to do, but the TextField displays the value of the variable abc. After you store the user's input back in abc, you just end up overwriting it with the assignment abc = num.ToString (), and num is just incrementing every time OnGUI is called.
