Best Ways to organize variables?

Hi all,

I like to make my scripts organized and easy to read, but I've got too many variables lying around and the inspector has become clustered and disorganized; so I'm trying to find a way to tidy up my variables but no on line documentation has been able to help me.

I'm looking for a way to categorize my variables and put them under a collapsible menu. So I created different classes for different types of variables, like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2. [System.Serializable]
3.     public class ShootVariables : System.Object {
4.         //My variables go here
5.     }
6.     public ShootVariables shootVariables = new ShootVariables();
7.  

But every time I need to reference to variables inside that class, I have to first make reference to that class, which is not very efficient:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. shootVariables.damage = 5f;
3. recoilVariables.kickAmount = .5f

Is there a way to just use the variables without referencing the class?
I feel like I might be doing something wrong; Or could there be a different ways to create the collapsible menu? Or just a different way to organize your variables?

Thanks

 

Your scripts shouldn't have that many variables. If you're getting large amounts of them, then you might be having a single script do way too much.

If you're talking about game settings, in that case I usually implement them in a ScriptableObject, and make that object a Singleton that loads the ScriptableObject and serves out the values in a global manner.

 

Hi There

No one seems to be able to answer your question. No one can know your intent specifically. The scope of the question should be reduced.

Cheers!
