Hey,
today I noticed you can write something like this:
[Range(1,10)]
public float minRangeOfCamera = 2.0f;
[Range(1,10)]
public float maxRangeOfCamera = 20.0f;
in the Inspector there will be a slider to change the values.
But I often saw sliders thich contained 2 slider in it. So there I was able to change the min and the max value in just one slider. Can you tell me how to do it?
Thanks
I donât think you can without writing your own custom editor, or using a third-party package like the Advanced Inspector.
A min/max range type was added to the next version of the Advanced Inspector; Advanced Inspector - WIP/Feature requests - Community Showcases - Unity Discussions
There is no way without spending money? 
Yes, the first option I gave you⌠Writing a custom editor/property drawer yourself. Itâs really not that hard.
You can use the editor MinMaxSlider for this:
Hi,
I created a JavaScript which contains the code from your first link. But how can I use this Slider in my Inspector now?
You use that in a custom editor, or you could use it to make a custom property drawer.
explains how the [[Range(1,10)] PropertyAttribute is made, and you could base your new code on this.
I have attempted to write a MinMaxSlider property drawer but failed. Is this possible? I canât seem to get around this error
No appropriate version of âUnityEditor.EditorGUILayout.MinMaxSliderâ for the argument list
I really wish a MinMax slider was a simple attribute like Range.
Hello hereâs what I got just wanna share
It works only with Vector2/Vector2Int!
So the X component represents the from/min and the Y component represents the to/max.
The value to the left of the slider is the X, the value to the right is the Y
These tests all have the same Vector2 values: (x=1, y=2)
It is just the way the MinTo attribute is used that changes what the slider represents in the inspector.
MinTo(): from x to y, between 0 and y.
MinTo(max): from x to y, between 0 and max.
MinTo(max, min): from x to y, between min and max.
I use it for things like a spell min/max distance or like a ranged dude AI distance not too far not too close.
Also for durations, like if you can charge an attack for up to Y second but also release it early after X seconds. So most of the time I just wanna adjust freely the maximum/to and the minimum is always 0 because negative values donât make sense for these uses, so yea just gives you little fun controls to toy with, also nice way to see how big the range is and where it starts, and also it proofchecks that -you donât put dumb negative values -your minimum does not exceed the maximum.
I decided to call it MinTo instead of MinMax because most of the time the To is the Max (with zero args) so thereâs no Max actually. For example in test1 thereâs 2 on the right as the âmaxâ but I can change it to 100000 from the inspector if I want so yea it is more a just a To value than a Maximum by definition.

quick version 2 LAST ONE 
of course you can look at the code to see how I did it and to tweak it how you want.
FLOAT
-You can do it with 2 separate float variables now instead of Vector2! Thatâs cool if you change your mind and just wanna remove the min and just keep the max or the opposite whatever it is less of a commitment then having to use Vector2.
So you just put the thing above the MAX/TO float, then you can let the autoname template get the MIN or specify it. (It is relative to you so if youâre a nested class or struct you donât have to write âspell.distanceMinâ if max is in spell already you just write âdistanceMinâ)
I didnât show all the combinations but you can do the same arguments as above for different behaviors.
(oh also I changed signature for test3(3,1) it wasnât very intuitive now it is written test3(1,3) so it is MinTo(min, max))
NASTY BUG FIXED
-If you selected multiple objects it would override values from one of them on MinTo even if you didnât do anything, now you can still override for all at once but only if you start tweaking it, just like unity.
*It is using â.NET 4.x Equivalentâ if it doesnât compile thatâs most likely because you didnât enable it you do that in Edit/Project Settings/Player
MinToAttribute.cs
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
// Can use it on:

Thank you for this! I came to report a little bug with labels that i see in the new UI (2019.3.0f6). It might be easy fix, but iâm not that good at Editor Drawer scripting! (
I used your above code, and this is the view i get:
(labels scuffed)
Hope this helps and thank you for your work!
Awesome work, I needed to define a Random.Range min and max value in one variable and setting the MinTo property on a Vector2 give me exactly that, where x is the min and y is the max. Not exactly what I wanted but it works really well, thank you. @WoofyWyzpets
+1 Thanks for sharing.
My usage of @WoofyWyzpets variant (Attribute in Scripts/ folder, Drawer in Scripts/Editor folder, fixed the capital-I (eye) letter to be lowercase):
public class SnakeWiggle : MonoBehaviour
{
// ... cut
[MinTo(0.0f, 60.0f)]
[SerializeField] private Vector2 MoveEvery = new Vector2(0.25f, 15.0f);
// ... cut
}
I might be a bit late to the party, but I will add my contribution as well.
I wrote a min/max range attribute that makes dealing with bounded ranges in the Unity inspector much easier and I thought it could help other people too. It supports both Vector2 and Vector2Int and custom floating-point decimal places (0 to 3). Itâs available on GitHub and Open UPM. To use it, just add the attribute to a field:
[MinMaxRange(0f, 1f, 3)]
[SerializeField] private Vector2 _normalTemperature = new (0.2f, 0.74f);
And it will be displayed on the inspector using min/max sliders:
