Inspector Enhancements

Free Tools to Empower Your Creation

Inspector Enhancements provides six easy-to-use and well-documented tools (custom property attributes and drawers) that make working in Unity's Inspector faster, simpler, and more intuitive. Whether you’re organizing data, testing functionality, or reducing clutter in your project setup, these tools help tackle common pain points in the Unity Editor.

- Remove Clutter

Keep your Inspector clean and focused by hiding irrelevant options or organizing fields into dropdown menus. Whether you’re managing complex data or reducing distractions, tools like [HideIf], [ShowIf], and [CollectionDropdown] streamline your workspace.

- Test Functions Easily

Need to test a function without entering Play Mode? [MethodButton] lets you run methods directly from the Inspector. This is perfect for debugging, prototyping, or testing individual components of your game.

- Prevent Errors

Missing references and unassigned fields can lead to runtime errors. [Required] ensures all essential fields are assigned by showing warnings right in the Inspector, saving you from debugging headaches.

- Visualize Nested Data

Tired of drilling down into complex objects? [InlineProperty] displays nested data structures directly in the Inspector, so you can see everything at a glance.

- Decide the Selection

Simplify field assignments by providing predefined options directly in the Inspector. With [CollectionDropdown], you can replace manual input or long lists with an organized dropdown menu. Perfect for selecting prefabs, materials, or other assets without navigating through folders, ensuring consistency and reducing errors.
