The following method should find the fields of type

T

T in the class.
When having these

strings

strings

strings

strings, it only returns a

List

List

List

List of 2 empty ones.

public string string1 = "string 1";
public string string2 = "string 2";

public string string1 = "string 1";
public string string2 = "string 2";

public string string1 = "string 1";
public string string2 = "string 2";

public string string1 = "string 1";
public string string2 = "string 2";

very much a "works on my machine" moment

DDoombox ```cs foreach (var inst in FindInstances<string>(new FooBar())) { WriteLine(...

Just run it in a console app and this works fine there. Seems like a Unity problem, since that's where I initially run it.

might have to use type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public)type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public) but I'm not 100%, I try to avoid reflection in Unity

Doombox•6/28/24, 3:59 PM

but if you know for sure it's a Unity problem it might be a bit easier to find a solution with google at least

DDoombox might have to use `type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public)` ...

The fields are found properly, and the value's type is checked properly too, it's just that GetValueGetValue returns the empty stringstring in Unity. I'll try to research this thing. Thank you a lot for your help!
