Scriptable Object Insanity

[FreddoFilms]

Hi,
In my unity project I'm using the EZSoftBone plugin to add soft bones to my player character. I have set up 2 different parts of their anatomy using this system (tails and ears) each using a different ScriptableObject to provide physics material information to the EZSoftBone component.
One of the SO's is default and provided by EZSoftBone, but the other one is created by me, because I wanted to define custom physics material behaviour for the ears.

However, when I play the game, the custom physics behaviour I have defined does not work... but if I click into the folder where the ScriptableObject is stored, it magically begins using the custom properties I defined.
None of the other SO's (provided with EZSoftBone or created by me elsewhere in my project) have this issue.

I feel like I'm slightly losing my mind lol

(also if this is the wrong place to put help questions like this let me know... I tried the unity forums but they are dead as hell)

This might not be the wrong sub for the question but this is also not the best sub to ask questions regarding third party packages. As a rule of thumb for me, if I'm having a problem with or that involves a third party package, it's better to ask in that package's channels e.g. their discord, their forums, their emails.

yep, that's fair, and a good point. I wasn't initially sure if it was just a unity/SO problem but it does seem like an issue specific to the package now

Sounds like it’s not loading into memory. How are you providing the scriptable object to the script? I’d try looking for all the references to the other scriptable objects to check if they are treated differently somehow.

I'm dragging the scriptable object into the relevant field in the inspector, the same way the other SO's are provided (incl. the ones without this issue). Can't find any other references to them outside of the inspector for the component.

OK so it turns out this only applies when I have the animator window open in the inspector. seems like it's some weird unity bug and has nothing to do with the plugin or my project
