Good luck :wink:

If you want to search for more, try to use the term ‘attribute’ (that’s how they are called in C#).
There are plenty of them, you could actually find every single one by either inspecting the assemblies or writing a program that does it for you.

Haven’t seen an official list of the most common though.

Thanks

MSDN is also a good place to look, for any attributes that are part of .NET and not Unity.

However since you can easily write your own attributes, its not possible to provide a single list with every possible attribute.

And writing your own is not only easy, but incredibly useful. Once I figured out the simple mechanics of this, it’s saved me so much grief!

do you know any tutorial about how to make an atribute?

Not off hand, but here’s a very basic one that I did (from another post somewhere) for a readonly property in the inspector. In this case I wanted it to show in the inspector (so it had to be public) but I didn’t want to be able to change it in the inspector.

ReadOnlyAttribute.cs

using UnityEngine;

public class ReadOnlyAttribute : PropertyAttribute
{

}

This is just an empty class so that we can apply it in an editor script.

Editor_DoReadOnlyDrawer.cs

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(ReadOnlyAttribute))]
public class Editor_DoReadOnlyDrawer : PropertyDrawer
{
    public override float GetPropertyHeight(SerializedProperty property,
                                            GUIContent label)
    {
        return EditorGUI.GetPropertyHeight(property, label, true);
    }

    public override void OnGUI(Rect position,
                               SerializedProperty property,
                               GUIContent label)
    {
        GUI.enabled = false;
        EditorGUI.PropertyField(position, property, label, true);
        GUI.enabled = true;
    }
}

This is the PropertyDrawer that reads the attribute tag and simply disabled the EditorGUI pushes the value, the reenables the EditorGUI.

Other.cs

        [Tooltip("Patrol path has been randomly reversed.")]
        [ReadOnly]
        public bool reverse = false;

This is where I’ve added it in my code. This bool gets randomly assigned on Awake() for each object. But to help test and debug, I needed to be able to see this value on each object without having to throw a break point in the code. In the inspector, it looks like this:

The value is properly reflected (in this case true), but the variable is greyed out and cannot be modified.

As I said, this is a pretty simple use-case, and you can actually get pretty crazy with things.
