Question How to fix variable names in list cut off in the inspector?

Hi,

Is there a way to fix the issue below:


Sorry if the question is trivial or was already answered, but I searched for an answer with no result. Maybe I am not using the right keywords to describe the issue.

Thanks

 

Depends who is drawing that. Usually if you expand the width of the window it gets better.

If it doesn't then maybe there is a custom editor that requires tweaking.

 

Thank you for the quick answer.
I've already increased the inspector window width.
But I cannot find a way to increase the Variables section width


You mentioned a tweaking a custom Editor. Could you provide more information?
I read the documentation, And I am not sure to understand, I use C sharp script only to define new classes, otherwise I use visual scripting for my project. This is an example of one of my classes:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using Unity.VisualScripting;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. [Inspectable, Serializable]
7. public class MenuAndCorrespondingInventory
8. {
9.     [Inspectable]
10.     public GameObject Menu;
11.     [Inspectable]
12.     public GameObject Inventory;
13.     [Inspectable]
14.     public GameObject ListOfButtonsOfMenu;
15.     [Inspectable]
16.     public string PrefixUI;
17. }
18.  

Should I add the code provided in the documentation in every class I have defined to be able to see it properly in the inspector?

Thanks!

 

You can google up custom editors... this may or may not be what is going on.

It might be that there is already tweaks you can make but I haven't used the Visual scripting yet.

Perhaps these guys can help?

You can report your own post and ask the mods to move it over there.

 

I mentioned the visual scripting just to say I am not a programmer. But the issue I am mentioning is not related to visual script so I didn't want to post on that forum.

I'm maybe wrong, but it seems like it is a basic issue. Anyone who would define a custom class and create a list of object of that class won't be able to see it correctly in the inspector.
And the issue seems a generic one: the Variables section does not stretch to fit the width of the inspector window, as shown in my previous screenshot.

If there is no quick fix for the UI bug, I will live with it and check the class to see what are the names of each field.

Thanks

 

The documentation here:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...s-add-inspectable-attribute-custom-types.html

... shows me that the

[Inspectable]

attribute is actually a part of visual scripting.

Which ... is why I suggested perhaps you're not the first person to see such an issue.

 

Oh ok! I didn't know that! Thank you for your patience.
I will ask to move this post the visual scripting forum.

 

I don't see any way to expand the label width on the variables.
You can click and drag out the window, but it only scales the text input box and not the label.

I would imagine because most of the built in types do not have this tag issue and seem to be labled in such a way to fit into the slot without needing the drag. Mind you it would be a pain having to drag that out every time to see it all.

I would probably just use shorter keywords if it bugged me.
because im lazy like that lol

 

You need to write a custom PropertyDrawer: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.visualscripting@1.7/manual/vs-create-custom-drawer.html

 

Interesting reading, thanks.

I wonder if a tool-tip would be easier to see then manually setting the size of the rects O.O
like mouse hover over the variable and tool tip pops up quicky to display the value under it.

maybe use the thing that scales the width in relation to the number of characters as the other inputs seem to do.

 

Thank you for the documentation link. I will look at it more in details, but my impression is that I will have to create a property drawer for each one of my custom classes, and there are many of them.

Also I don't understand the first sentence:
If you want to use a custom type from a custom class in Visual Scripting, and you don't have access to its source code, you must create a custom PropertyDrawer.

I do have access to the source code since I created the custom classes in c# scripts...
I don't know what is a type

Thanks
