Question Getting reference to a class that is not a monobehavior from inside a custom editor class

im very very new to editor classes and have red some documentation, and watched some videos but they all talk about monobehaviors or scriptable objects. and not classes that dont inherited from anything. and i dont know the right wording to get any good google results, heres my code

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4.  
5. using UnityEngine;
6. #if UNITY_EDITOR
7. using UnityEditor;
8. #endif
9. public class Attacks
10. {
11.  
12.  
13. #if UNITY_EDITOR
14. [CustomEditor(typeof(Attacks))]
15.     public class AttackCustomEditor : Editor
16.     {
17.         public override void OnInspectorGUI()
18.         {
19.         base.OnInspectorGUI();
20.         Attacks AttacksCast = (Attacks)target;
21. }
22.  
23.  
24.  
25. }
26. #endif
27.  

the error im getting thrown is
"cannot convert type 'unityEngine.Object' to 'Attacks' "

ik this is a pretty easy one to solve and find on my own but iv been trying for like 20 minutes now and i cant find the right words to get the right results, ps the code works fine if i do public class attacks : monobehavior

 

You need to use a PropertyDrawer for non-Unity objects.

 

ah so this is one of those things where im just so inexperienced that i have 0 clue what im looking at lol, ill spend the next couple days studying this syntax and looking up yt videos, thx for pointing me in the right direction

 

The Unity docs explain their usage pretty clearly. I would just start there.
