Foldout for certain properties without a custom editor?

    Hi there, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but I'm wondering if it's at all possible to have certain properties from a script (for example 10 [SerializeField] items) be under a foldout that can be collapsed without having to create a custom editor.

    I don't have much experience with custom editors but from what I remember, if you use that on a script then you have to make the entire script's inspector properties from scratch, and I didn't want to necessarily do that, I just wanna section off a particular section.

    Maybe it's not possible, but any help on what my options are to do what I'm trying would be appreciated, thanks!

    It is possible, but in the end you'd need a custom editor to override all MonoBehaviour / ScriptableObjects editors to detect those attached attributes.

    There's plenty of implementations on the net.
    Here's a first one available in google:

    Thanks so much for the reply, so it sounds like my choices are to either use a custom editor, or download a sort of addon that uses a custom editor (or custom functionality?).

    That's fine, I guess I'll have to go and learn more about that stuff, I just wanted to know if there was a really quick and easy way to do this before I started spending hours learning and making custom editors.

    Thanks again!
