Question ArrayList not visible in Inspector

I made a ArrayList, and the code looks like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class ArrayListTest : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public ArrayList testArrayList = new ArrayList();
8. }

I want it to show up in the Inspector, so I made it public, yet it didn't work so how do I make it show up?
There are no errors in this script at all.

 

ArrayLists can't be Serialized by Unity because they can hold literally any random object. What are you trying to put in it?

 

From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.arraylist?view=net-7.0

Conclusion, probably no one considered such service for the Inspector. Just use List.

 

I'm trying to put other scripts into that ArrayList, but they are different classes, so a list won't work as it only lets one type of data in the list. (This is a reply to RadRedPanda)

 

Ok I will use List<T>

 

I see no programming reason to push all scripts into one object. Can you explain the purpose of this action, what do you want to achieve?

 

You can use the base type the scripts derive from.

Code (csharp):

1. public List<MonoBehaviour> scripts;

From there you can check what the type is.

Code (csharp):

1. if (scripts[index] is Foo)

And access methods and fields by casting it.

Code (csharp):

1. (scripts[index] as Foo).MyField = 0;
2. (scripts[index] as Foo).MyMethod();
