Hide Variable Depending on Bool

Unity Editor Editor Extensions
1

Hey,
There are many posts on this and a couple with full scripts. However, one I tried that used an attribute just would not work. (Hiding or Disabling inspector properties using PropertyDrawers within Unity - Brecht Lecluyse) This one would give me a type or namespace error for the ConditionalHideAttribute class no matter where I positioned the scripts. (Editor, not editor, one in editor, none in editor).

What I have at the minute is:

using UnityEditor;

[CustomEditor(typeof(CameraMovement))]
public class CameraMovementEditor : Editor
{
    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        //base.OnInspectorGUI();

        CameraMovement cam = (CameraMovement)target;

        cam.edgePan = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Edge Pan", cam.edgePan);

        if (cam.edgePan == true)
        {
          // Enable distFromEdge field 
          // Enable panSpeed field 
        }
    }
}

The issue I am having is someone said on another persons post “if it is true, enable the fields”. But, how?
All / any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Something along these lines?

Yeah haha. I abandoned that idea now and went with something simple and split my variables into classes. Nice and simple. Useful link though.

Something like this could work, if you happen to have this need again:

#if UNITY_EDITOR

[CustomEditor(typeof(CameraMovement))]
public class CameraMovementEditor : Editor
{
    private CameraMovement _cam;
    private SerializedProperty _checkField;
    private SerializedProperty[] _lockedFields;


    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _cam = (CameraMovement) target;

        //nameof is used to facilitate refactoring (must be either the fields public or this class inside CameraMovement)
        _checkField = serializedObject.FindProperty(nameof(_cam.edgePan));

        _lockedFields = new[]
        {
            serializedObject.FindProperty(nameof(_cam.distFromEdge)),
            serializedObject.FindProperty(nameof(_cam.panSpeed))
        };
    }

    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        serializedObject.Update();

        GUI.enabled = true;
        //the bool field has to be shown
        EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(_checkField);

        GUI.enabled = _checkField.boolValue;    // if you want to see them but have them locked

        foreach (var field in _lockedFields)
        {
            // if (_checkField.boolValue)          //if you want to hide them completely
                EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(field);
        }

        GUI.enabled = true;

        serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
    }
}
#endif
