The document discusses experiments using Odin Inspector to customize the Unity inspector for a game project. Key features explored include using box groups, tab groups, foldout groups, and inline editors to organize inspector properties. Custom property drawers and callbacks are implemented to handle things like clamped float ranges, camera controls, and squad management grids. The goal is to create a highly customized inspector that makes it easier to view and edit in-game variables and object properties.

Inline Editor
This will give
Full Inspector view

//Usually,
you’d have to go
and select individual Objects

If the Name cant be found,
It’s possible to directly create a new one.

Camera will move toward CamTarget Transform
CamRoot will move toward

Float with Variable Limits – Distance, Height
OnValueChanged is a Callback and did not make an immediate Change
Because we need to call ClampValue immediately,
it cannot be use for this case
Min Max Slider does not contain it’s own value
When the value was changed, VIA Inspector, Clamping did not get called
And because it cannot use assigned Variables,
Range Value are very hard to Edit.
For this case, we created a Custom Property Drawer instead

20. @OtakuEatMama : @HistoricaFantasiaDevBlog : Zenneth@zodiac-alliance.com 20
Transforms
FoldoutGroup is used here because these are
parts that do not require changes during Gameplay
By adding Required()
Warning Info came up when the Object is not assigned

21. @OtakuEatMama : @HistoricaFantasiaDevBlog : Zenneth@zodiac-alliance.com 21
Playtime Variables
BoxGroup is used on variables that will
change often during Gameplay
Grouping them together make them easier to find
Angle is actually the eulerAngle.y value of CamRoot
It is more convenient to control it here,
So we used Getter and Setter on it.
LabelText is used to define Display name for variables

22. @OtakuEatMama : @HistoricaFantasiaDevBlog : Zenneth@zodiac-alliance.com 22
Setted Finalized Variables
Input Modifiers have no need to be change once finalized
So we moved it to FoldOutGroups
Then, nested each Category with BoxGroup
to make them easier to identify
By using “Group1/Group2” string,
We can order the nesting order of each variable

Squad Manager
Instead of having to search and click on individual Objects,
InlineEditor displays Internal Data directly

Squad Grid
Odin Inspector CANNOT arrange an array Horizontally
In exchange for having to use this really hideous non-List,
We managed to create the Inspector that we need.
Fortunately, the number of Rows and Columns are fixed,
So, it will work fine in this case.
Use Button to Set Unit Position
Use DisableIf to turn off Set Unit Position Button
With this, we can see where the Unit is easier
