MarshalDirectiveException when trying to create struct that contains a UnityEngine.Component field

jerome latteux 2 years ago • updated by Lazlo Bonin (Lead Developer) 2 years ago • 4

I was trying to do the same thing as in this post, creating a new constraint source:
https://support.ludiq.io/communities/5/topics/2132-parameterless-struct-constructors-not-available

But in Bolt2 I get the following error message:

MarshalDirectiveException: Type UnityEngine.Component which is passed to unmanaged code must have StructLayout attribute.
(wrapper unknown) UnityEngine.Animations.ConstraintSource.StructureToPtr(object,intptr,bool)

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for the report and sorry for the very late reply on this.

Could you please show me your graph or give me step-by-step reproduction steps?

This happens to me when I try to work with structs that hold a MonoBehaviour field. (I guess this is the "Type UnityEngine.Component", which is referred to in the error.)

Try to create such struct in the graph, or use a method that uses that struct and the error will appear on play.

Hi Bittsu,

Thanks for the additional information.

Can you please show me:

1. The C# code for the struct

2. The graph used to create the struct

Thanks!
