In a Particular instance, there is no code generation for custom variables of Gum components

[mza299]

The issue in question relates to : #1705

In a test FRB screen, i made an empty component with some variables. With breakpointing in VS, these variables are appropriately assigned. So are some other Gum components in my project. But some are not assigned.

In my project's "testing" screen (called Debug2), i've added the problematic component to isolate it and the error happens again.

In my VS proj, if you find CatUpgradeIconRuntime.cs under Gumruntimes/Controls and add a breakpoint after CustomInitialise. And if you look for the variable IsForFarming, IsForFishing, and RequiredLevel, you should find they are defaulted to false, false, 0 respectively. This is all in my latest commit.

Although, i was unable to recreate the bug, you may find a solution and potential bugs from this issue.

I've changed my repo, which would make solving this difficult. Let me know if you work on this so that i can make a commit, which should make it easier.

I managed to somewhat replicate the bug:

The whole process from start to finish.

1.) Create a gum component
2.) Add a variable to the component by pressing the "add varaible" button at the bottom of the varaibles tab window. In my case, I added a string "TestString" and gave it the value "Hello World".
3.) Drag and drop the variable onto a empty gumscreen to create an instance of it.
4.) In VS add a breakpoint at the end of custominitialise for gumcomponent.cs.

This works. in VS TestString = "Hello World" ✅

5.) In gum under the gumscreen used for testing, select the gum component you just made
6.) Copy and paste it to make another instance - CTRL +C/V.
7.) Change TestString (or whatever variable you made earlier) to something different. Now you have two instances with different TestString values.
8.) Check both instances in VS. Add a breakpoint to the end of initialise on the testscreen.cs This works ✅

9.) Following on from 8.), create another gum component
10.) add two instances of the component you made earlier to this "container" component. I named it "TestContainer".
11.) Within the TestContainer change the "TestString" values to something different.
12.) In your test gumscreen add the TestContainer
13.) Repeat 4.)/8.) but breakpont end of initalise on Testcontainer.cs. This works ✅

14.) Select the original gum component you made in 1.)
15.) Create a category and two states within the category. I made Caetory named "Type" and states "1" and "2".
16.) Modify states 1 and 2 such that TestString has different values.
17.) For the Tescontainer gum component change the Type state for both child instances, one being 1, the other 2.
18.) repeat 13.) This does not work ❌ kindoff

for the first instance (where TypeState = 1) of TestContainer, TestString = "Hello", which is the default value when generating a string variable in gum.

But the second instance showed the right string value. I double checked everything in Gum and repeated this and it gave the same result.
