Resolved Making a property have 2 entry points for variables

In the unity editors inspector for some preset properties you can enter 2 or more variables from 2 or more entry points like so

In my script i need to get a start point and an end point for my property but i cant make it have 2 diffirent entry points

How can I make this like

Talk Time
Element0 ------ Start point [ 10 ] End Point [ 21 ]
Element1 ------ Start point [ 25 ] End Point [ 48 ]
Element2 ------ Start point [ 60 ] End Point [ 66 ]

When I searched this in the internet I found nothing is there a set way to do this in unity itself ?

 

Do you mean the x, y, z? This is just a vector3 value. Which is just a single variable. Vector3's are struts. If you want a start and end point, you can create your own strut and serialize it so it will display in the inspector with the 2 values. Then you just make a list of that strut.

 

I have learned how to use vector2[] to get my variables sometime after posting this but I still cant change the naming of it. Right now it looks like this

Which is what I wanted but is there a way to rename these attributes as I said in my first post

Instead of
Element 0 --------- X [ 5 ] Y [ 10 ]

Is there a way to make it say

Element 0 --------- Start Time [ 5 ] End Tİme [ 10 ]

For coding I know this is not necesery but I want it to be more understandble by others with out an explanation.

Or if you hover your mouse over the variables over base unity components it tells you what it does by a pop-up window is there a way to make that for my variables ?

 

As mentioned, you can just make your own struct:

Code (CSharp):

1. [System.Serializable]
2. public struct Timing
3. {
4.     public float StartTime;
5.    
6.     public float EndTime;
7. }

Then use a collection of that struct instead.

 

I haven't used structs in unity yet so I didn't know it can work like this. Thank you it works like I wanted it to


Here is the code for it

Code (CSharp):

1. [System.Serializable]
2. public struct Timing
3. {
4.     public float startTime;
5.     public float endTime;
6. }
7. public Timing[] talkTime;

 

Ultimately if you want to present this in a custom way in the inspector, you'd have to write a so-called property drawer, which is how Unity inspectors are supposed to be extended in the editor. It's a pretty complex topic on its own, and what you did is a cheap and perfectly fine workaround if you just want to input some data manually and move on.
