C# public variable won't show in inspector

Unity Engine
1

Hi
I can’t get variables to show up in the inspector :S
I read I had to set them so “public” and I did, but that doesn’t seem to help :S
Anything I’m doing wrong ?

Thanks !

//Edit: also tried putting “public float test = 5.0f;” inside the start method, but doesn’t work either :s

Did you try assigning the script to a GameObject in the editor? I believe the fields only become editble in the context of the script attached to another object.

I had this issue before, for some reason you’ll have to attatch the AddComponentMenu attribute.

You’ll have to change public class Underwater_Effect_forCam : MonoBehaviour
to this

 [AddComponentMenu("WaterEffects/ForCamera")]
public class Underwater_Effect_forCam : MonoBehaviour

You can rename the menu to whatever you like.

Thanks !
I indeed had to assign it to a gameobject to see it, though I also needed to add the AddComponentMenu line :stuck_out_tongue:
Though now when I remove the AddComponentMenu again the variables still show, very weird :stuck_out_tongue:
Ahh well, it’s fixed, so thanks ! :smile:

Edit: now it also shows up when just selecting the script (when it’s not assigned to a GameObject).
