Default value changes ignored at runtime

However, if you then change the default value in the script, Game Studio doesn't update the component with the new value.

For example, imagine you have a script with the variable with a default value of 5.0f. You add the script to the project as a component. Now, in the script, you change the default value of the SpeedFactor variable to 6.0f, save the script, and run the project. Game Studio doesn't update the component with the script changes, so the speed value is still 5.0f.

Alternatively, if you want Game Studio to update the values in the component properties after you change them in the script, you can do this with additional code. You need to add a new line of code for every property you want this to apply to.

When you change the value, update both the SpeedFactor and the DefaultValue to the same value.

Note

This doesn't work in both directions. If you set a value other than the DefaultValue in the Property Grid, Game Studio saves the value in the asset and overrides the default value at runtime.
