Is possible to be told after serialization occurs for objects, in the **Editor**?
----------
I know that **Unity3D** serializes some variables (as described in the [**SerializeField**][1] manual page).
After *importing* a script something in my project, clicking *play*, or *going back* from play mode, **Unity3D** recreates all the objects in memory, and reset all serializable fields. That's why when I **Debug.Log()** a public variable (like int), it says the default value, but when I access it with other script it says the previous stored (serialized) value.
What I want to know is **when** serialization takes place, to *sew* my variables in the editor to a more proper object. The [**manual**][2] refers to this process of *sewing*:> **Hint:** Unity won't serialize Dictionary, however you could store a List<> for keys and a List<> for values, and sew them up in a non serialized dictionary on Awake(). This doesn't solve the problem of when you want to modify the dictionary and have it "saved" back, but it is a handy trick in a lot of other cases.
Thing is, in the **Editor** I can't use the **Awake** function. I've tried **OnEnable**, **OnBecameVisible**, **Start**, **Awake** and **Reset** with no help: none of these functions are called after I make a change in the scripts. The constructor is called, but as I mentioned earlier, it contains the *constructor* values.
Any help would be much appreciated.
