Essentials Inspector

Essentials.Inspector namespace is needed for this.

The Essentials Inspector has a few attributes that can help you customize your inspector properties a little bit better.

FieldColor

A FieldColor attribute changes the color of a property's field.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    [FieldColor(255, 0, 0)] public int _aRedProperty;
    [FieldColor(0, 255, 0)] public int _aGreenProperty;
    [FieldColor(0, 0, 255)] public int _aBlueProperty;
}

FieldColor attribute example

LabelColor

A LabelColor attribute changes the color of a property's label and value.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    [LabelColor(255, 0, 0)] public int _aRedLabel;
    [LabelColor(0, 255, 0)] public int _aGreenLabel;
    [LabelColor(0, 0, 255)] public int _aBlueLabel;
}

LabelColor attribute example

ReadOnly

A ReadOnly attribute disables the ability to modify a property and makes it greyed out.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int normalProperty;
    [ReadOnly] public int readOnlyProperty;
}

ReadOnly attribute example

SetIndentLevel

A SetIndentLevel attribute sets the indent level of a property.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int normalProperty;
    [SetIndentLevel(1)] public int indentedProperty;
}

SetIndentLevel attribute example

ShowIf

A ShowIf attribute shows a property based on a specified condition.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool propertyVisible;
    [ShowIf("propertyVisible", true)] public int showIfProperty;
}

ShowIf attribute example (false)

ShowIf attribute example (true)

HideIf

A HideIf attribute hides a property based on a specified condition.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool propertyHidden;
    [HideIf("propertyHidden", true)] public int hideIfProperty;
}

HideIf attribute example (false)

HideIf attribute example (true)

DisableIf

A DisableIf attribute makes a property read-only based on a specified condition.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool propertyDisabled;
    [DisableIf("propertyDisabled", true)] public int disableIfProperty;
} 

DisableIf attribute example (false)

DisableIf attribute example (true)

EnableIf

A EnableIf attribute makes a property writable based on a specified condition.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool propertyEnabled;
    [EnableIf("propertyEnabled", true)] public int enableIfProperty;
} 

EnableIf attribute example (false)

EnableIf attribute example (true)

Comparing Values

Attributes like ShowIf, HideIf, EnableIf, DisableIf, and so on..., can compare not only boolean values but almost any kind of value. Most notably float, int and string.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int intCondition;
    [ShowIf("intCondition", 2)] public int showInt;

    public float floatCondition;
    [ShowIf("floatCondition", 1.5f)] public float showFloat;

    public string stringCondition;
    [ShowIf("stringCondition", "MyString")] public string showString;
}

Comparing Int and Float Values With Operators

What if you want the value to be for example less or equal than something? For that you can make it a string and insert operators. Valid operators are: >, >=, <, <=, ==, !=.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int lessCondition;
    [ShowIf("lessOrEqualCondition", "<2")] public int showIfLess;

    public int lessOrEqualCondition;
    [ShowIf("lessOrEqualCondition", "<=2")] public int showIfLessOrEqual;

    public int greaterCondition;
    [ShowIf("greaterOrEqualCondition", ">2")] public int showIfGreater;

    public int greaterOrEqualCondition;
    [ShowIf("greaterOrEqualCondition", ">=2")] public int showIfGreaterOrEqual;

    public int equalCondition;
    [ShowIf("equalCondition", "==2")] public int showIfEqual;

    public int notEqualCondition;
    [ShowIf("notEqualCondition", "!=2")] public int showIfNotEqual;
}

The same goes with float values.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float lessCondition;
    [ShowIf("lessCondition", "<2.5f")] public float showIfLess;

    public float lessOrEqualCondition;
    [ShowIf("lessOrEqualCondition", "<=2.5f")] public float showIfLessOrEqual;

    public float greaterCondition;
    [ShowIf("greaterCondition", ">2.5f")] public float showIfGreater;

    public float greaterOrEqualCondition;
    [ShowIf("greaterOrEqualCondition", ">=2.5f")] public float showIfGreaterOrEqual;

    public float equalCondition;
    [ShowIf("equalCondition", "==2.5f")] public float showIfEqual;

    public float notEqualCondition;
    [ShowIf("notEqualCondition", "!=2.5f")] public float showIfNotEqual;
}

Comparing Multiple Values

You are not restricted to comparing only one value. You can compare multiple values. Simply separate them by a comma.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float multipleValueCondition;
    [ShowIf("multipleValueCondition", ">2f", "<3f")] public float multipleValueProperty;
}

Compare Types

By default, when comparing multiple values, the compare type is set to CompareType.All which means that all of the values need to be satisfied. To change this, simply pass CompareType.Any to an attribute before passing any values. Now only one value needs to be satisfied.

MyCustomClass.cs

using Essentials.Inspector;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyCustomClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float multipleValueCondition;
    [ShowIf("multipleValueCondition", CompareType.Any, "<3f", ">10f")] public float multipleValueProperty;
}
