Prefabs on Int Grid Tile Assets not refreshing.

[ZoeySuzu]

When updating a prefab that's the game object associated with an Int Grid tile these aren't automatically updated on reload.
In order to refresh them I've found that I must set the relevant references to null in the import settings, apply, re-add the references and then re-apply.

Would it be possible to either provide a button to manually refresh the int grid tiles specifically, or have them refresh with the rest of the reimport ?

There is a refresh button inside of the intgrid tile asset inspector, I think it says something there about refreshing if changed. Let me know how that goes 🙂

It's how tilebase assets decide to work; they don't refresh completely until the project is refreshed in most cases

Hi, so I've played around with it a bit more and have found two ways around this.
-Removing the LDTK object from the scene and putting it back in, although this loses some scripts applied to the world node.
-Removing the prefab from the Int Grid Tile and putting it back, this seems to be the optimal way.

It doesn't look like any of the refresh buttons (Int Grid Tile, LDTK import settings, or LDTK project settings, prefab reimport / refresh) reload it automatically.

I've also tried refreshing the tilemaps directly when the prefab is edited by extending AssetModificationProcessor but that doesn't seem to work either.

Apologies for not responding sooner, I must have missed this one.

It is possible that there could be a dependency issue. Maybe the tile assets aren't being added as a dependency, so they don't get automatically reloaded.

There was another detail that I caught when you mentioned you delete the prefab and add it back in; that would be similar to reverting prefab overrides in the scene, which I might recommend more often. It doesn't help much, but it's something I would encourage more often. It might even be something to do with those prefab overrides in the scene that are finding ways to dirty themselves in some way, and so it has to be periodically reverted.
