Fight That OCD (CUSTOM INSPECTOR Unity)

In this video we will create a custom inspector in Unity. We'll focus on Serializing our fields and properties so we can access private fields. Create dropdowns, toggles, hidden content and showing more when using an enum. We'll look at spacing, labels and more! Do leave any comments if you have any suggestions for making this better! :)

[@caden5936]

Great tutorial! But dang Unity needs to make this way easier imo, I hope one day they make it a simple property attribute

[@SpeedTutor]

Haha, I think this is why they've tried to add UI Toolkit but I had a look in to it a couple of months back and honestly looked more confusing. Haha.

[@TheGrimmy]

Ahh! This is the one you were talking aboot. Love it!

[@SpeedTutor]

Haha, it's a lot to take in and is quite faffy but once you've got some custom inspectors going. It really neatens things up :)

[@TheGrimmy]

@@SpeedTutor Oh yeah, it looks SOOO much better. I had a GameData savefile essentially that I already sorted from where each data gets used and such, and now it's all neatly stacked and closed off. It's SO darn good now. Like tabs in a filing cabinet, haha. Thank you so much for this :D

[@Sam4Progress]

It took me a minute to figure out how to apply this to my script, but once I did, this tutorial was exactly what I had spent the past 6 hours looking for! For those that werent immediately clear: If you want to stack a bunch of stuff in the Check Box, just delete the outer layer of code he wrote! Works like a-charm if that's your preference!

[@SpeedTutor]

Thanks for sharing, my friend! :) I really appreciate it and I hope it will help others out too.

[@IceForgeOfficial]

Love the tutorial! Quick and concise but explains enough to understand!

[@SpeedTutor]

Glad you found it useful, what are you creating?

[@IceForgeOfficial]

@@SpeedTutor Well, I’m not really that good of a developer but I’m trying to develop a new game. I love this tutorial by the way, I know I said it already, but thanks for creating this video it is super useful for the game dev community :)

[@MEGANIKITASIGMA]

I LOVE YOU BRO I DONT UNDERSTAND YOU LANGUAGE BUT I INDERSTAND ALL THE MATERIAL

[@SpeedTutor]

Haha, I'm glad. Good luck with your projects! :D

[@IceForgeOfficial]

You were putting “SerializeProperty” on each variable separately. You can also use the shortcut of holding down Shift+Alt then select all lines you want to edit.

[@SpeedTutor]

Thanks for the tip, my friend! :)

[@deadbroadcastpc]

Mannnn your projects are probably so clean and organized, some really useful info yet again, thanks brother!

[@SpeedTutor]

Haha, is it spaghetti junction up in there? :P

[@deadbroadcastpc]

@@SpeedTutor no way, it’s hard enough to find things with clean code....spaghetti has been off the menu awhile now lol

[@SpeedTutor]

Spaghetti is over-rated anyway!

[@MatthewPatterson-nr2gh]

I will add, just because it wasn't explicitly said: In order for the editor script to work, each property in the original component script needs be prefaced with ` [SerializeField] `. It was shown in the intro but wasn't verbally emphasized. Otherwise, love this video, thank you so much. I've always wanted to beable to make user friendly inspectors and scene/object setups. I understand the appeal of Odin, it IS really nice. However, I really appreciate knowing how to do this by hand because if I want to create a package the sell on the asset store, I wouldn't want to force the user to buy another package before being able to use mine.

[@SpeedTutor]

You're exactly right, my friend. I wanted to use Odin myself but there is no way to have the custom inspector saved without the need for Odin installed. I learned this in exactly the same way as you. I love using "EditorGUILayout.LabelField" - It can create really nice headings with a dark backing, I don't think I showed it in this video. Good luck with all your stuff! :))) Also if you wanted to create a button in the inspector which lets you open the custom editor script for the current script which uses it you can use something like this: void OpenEditorScript() { if (GUILayout.Button("Open Editor Script")) { string scriptFilePath = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(MonoScript.FromScriptableObject(this)); AssetDatabase.OpenAsset(AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(scriptFilePath)); } } I hope these help! :D

[@syluxdev]

Odin inspector is the best tool to make editors easily

[@SpeedTutor]

I've got the asset but I've never used it myself, is it really good? Needless to say, I make a few different assets and I obviously can't bundle odin with it to make the inspector. So I wanted to show how I've done it a few times. Thanks for commenting! :)

[@aeroniix1489]

Underrated.

[@SpeedTutor]

I hope you found it useful! :D Are you creating something cool?

[@gojarz7127]

Thanks, it's so useful and also easy to understand!

[@SpeedTutor]

I'm glad you've found it useful, thanks for watching my friend! :)

[@wtflolomg]

Odin for the win... along with ScriptableObjects, these two things have revolutionized my development workflow.

[@SpeedTutor]

I'd agree on the SO part! As for Odin, I need to try this out myself. I've got it but never used it. How good is it /10?

[@TopShelfCookieJar]

@@SpeedTutor It's reeeeally good ie 10/10. Makes doing what you've done here super easy, just by scattering a few attributes in your existing scripts. It's the first thing I install in every project. That said, it's only useful if everyone using your code has Odin eg in your project team or people who download your assets, so it's not a one size fits all solution. In an ideal world Unity would buy them out and we'd live happily ever after...

[@wtflolomg]

@@SpeedTutor I would say @ledshok sums it up nicely. Odin just makes it extremely easy to make new editor windows and things like action buttons.

[@SpeedTutor]

I think you're both right. Rather than Unity making ridiculous acquisitions and laying off lots of staff recently, if they could have bought some genuinely useful like Odin. It would be amazing because I'd love to have more decent attributes added. Thanks for the information ledshok! As I say, I can't use it unless others have access to it and it doesn't really make sense for me to use on a daily basis otherwise. Although I'm definitely going to look into it, then I can cry at how easy it is! :P

[@gmangman123]

good video again! Thx my friend.

[@SpeedTutor]

No worries dude! :)

[@courtneyleinonen7767]

Instead of setting some variables to public and other to private, I would suggestion using properties instead. Something like: '[field : SerializeField] public bool exampleBool { get; private set; }' This way, there's no chance of accidentally setting a variable somewhere you didn't mean to.

[@SpeedTutor]

That's a great idea!

[@Patricebrouh]

Thank you so much. It's so helpful

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome! :D What are you looking to make?

[@MuhammadBilal-cs3dg]

Really helpul

Super

[@さしあたりのない名前]

nice!

[@SpeedTutor]

Thanks very much! :)

[@hassanshahzad7357]

hmm soo the data we mentioned in inpector will be save rgiht ? and If we put on every object data will be accordingly...

[@SpeedTutor]

The inspector saves as it normally does, apart from if you've hidden some fields then you may need to use EditorPrefs to save whether you've dropped down or not.

[@ray1997]

I'm not sure if nameof() feature work, but OnEnable() when finding property you can use playerType = serializedObject.FindProperty(nameof(playerType)); The code seems longer and felt redundant, but it's better for when the time you want to rename property, it would show up error which is not the case for FindProperty("playerType")

[@SpeedTutor]

That's a pretty awesome suggestion! Thanks for that. You do get some very unhelpful error messages if a field or property is removed and not accessible anymore.

[@ray1997]

oh and btw.. Pressing CTRL+R twice on property will rename it and all its reference on Visual Studio, as you know.. That property inside nameof() will get rename too, so you don't have to comeback and update it 😳

[@SpeedTutor]

The more you know! Thanks, my dude. Really awesome pointer, right there!

[@devarshpatel73]

Hello I really liked the video and the information given is great but I'm getting an namespace error whenever I try to build the apk, I hope that someone can provide me with its solution if anybody else also facing this kind of issues.

[@Ozzy89CZ]

Useless because it works UnityEditor only...

[@SpeedTutor]

I'm not sure where else you expected a custom Unity editor inspector to work?

[@hbcck]

Firstly, thank you for video, I really liked. How can I show a list? [SerializeField] public List Tiles = new(); EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(Tiles); is not working
