Editor Changing public variables.

I have some public variables attached to a Gameobject in my scene. However I have it public for programming purposes not to change it in the inspector. Everytime I start my game in the editor the variable is changed to the value that is in the inspector. This wouldnt be a problem as I can change the value. But I have many scenes in my game and going through and changing them all is a burden. I wish there was a more efficient way to make sure the inspector doesnt have access to changing my variable.

For clarification

Code (CSharp):

1. public List<bool> modelsBought = new List<bool>(4);

This is one of the variables. In the inspector the size could be 3 for example. Even though I initialized the list with a capacity of 4. When I launch the game the size is changed to the size stated in the inspector which causes all sorts of problems. I couldn't find anything online about this problem so I figured to ask here.

Code (CSharp):

1. public List<bool> modelsBought = new List<bool>{false, false, false, false};

I tried this too but to no avail. The inspector still changed my variable

 

It works now! Thank you, you helped me out big time. God bless u
