So I’ve heard this trick is pretty great at just handling data storage. And I wanna learn how to use it, but a few things I’m fuzzy on.

I’ve read this answer, Store multiple types of data in an Array? - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions but unfortunately I’m still learning C# and there are some things I’m fuzzy on.
If I create a class;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ButtonData : MonoBehaviour
{
	public GameObject	buttonGameObject;
	public Image  		buttonImage;
	public Button 		button;
	public float 		coolDown;
	public int			value;
}

And then I call that class to create an array within another class;

	public ButtonData[]			allButtonData;

How come if I remove : MonoBehavior from the ButtonData class, the array of buttonData disappears in the inspector?

And where do I fill in the values of each entry? It can’t be done within the inspector as that only seems to be looking for objects containing that class?

I guess I was sort of expecting a means to house data and then enter that data in the inspector like you can with any other single data type array.

So if anyone knows of a great tutorial page or documentation as to how and coders use this method, I’d love to read it.

You have to serialize the Class.

So above the class declaration type:

[System.Serializable]

And you can remove the MonoBehaviour inheritance. You can just leave it as class, that doesn’t inherit from anything.

Now you can declare an instance of that class in a MonoBehaviour script…

If i understand correctly your question…
