I am total new (I don’t consider my self even beginer) in editor scripting but recently I had to change some standard assets scripts to fit my needs. I saw there property drawers are used in some scripts e.g. waypoint circuit script. Below is that portion of the script.
namespace UnityStandardAssets.Utility.Inspector
{
#if UNITY_EDITOR
[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(WaypointCircuit.WaypointList))]
public class WaypointListDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
private float lineHeight = 18;
private float spacing = 4;
public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label)
{
EditorGUI.BeginProperty(position, label, property);
float x = position.x;
float y = position.y;
float inspectorWidth = position.width;
// Draw label
// Don't make child fields be indented
var indent = EditorGUI.indentLevel;
EditorGUI.indentLevel = 0;
//var items = property.FindPropertyRelative("itemsGo");
//var titles = new string[] { "Waypoints", "", "", "" };
//var props = new string[] { "waypoints", "^", "v", "-" };
var widths = new float[] { .7f, .1f, .1f, .1f };
float lineHeight = 18;
//bool changedLength = false;
//if (items.arraySize > 0)
//{
// for (int i = 0; i < items.arraySize; i++)
// {
// var item = items.GetArrayElementAtIndex(i);
// float rowX = x;
// for (int n = 0; n < props.Length; ++n)
// {
// float w = widths[n] * inspectorWidth;
// // Calculate rects
// Rect rect = new Rect(rowX, y, w, lineHeight);
// rowX += w;
// if (i == -1)
// {
// EditorGUI.LabelField(rect, titles[n]);
// }
// else
// {
// if (n == 0)
// {

There I faced similar issue when height was not adjusted properly and I changed the value (You can see there is written 150 near to bottom lines. Increasing this line helped me. As I said, I don’t have much idea of all this but this helped me. And I was basically wanting to have buttons in the inspector so that I could run my monoscript functions in editor mode… For that I found a Free tool BUTTON INSPECTON on unity asset store. You can go through the above example to check how it is adjusting height and using property drawer.
PS : I wanted to put this as comment instead of answer but unity answers did not let me exceed more than 3000 characters so I had to put it as answers.
