A powerful collection of custom attributes to enhance your Unity Inspector — improve readability, prevent human error, and streamline workflows.Essential Attributes is a lightweight yet powerful toolkit of Inspector-level attributes designed to make your Unity workflow faster, clearer, and safer — without writing any custom editor code.Each attribute focuses on solving common everyday needs: running methods from the editor, catching default values, previewing textures, locking sensitive fields, or selecting scenes from dropdowns. Everything is tightly integrated into Unity’s native look & feel and supports advanced usage with arrays, nested types, and serialized objects.Ideal for developers, designers, and technical artists working on tools, UI, gameplay logic, or prefab-heavy systems.⚙️ Included Attributes🧩 [Button]Draws buttons in the Inspector to invoke methods — supports parameters, return values, tooltips from XML docs, and persistent parameter memory.Grouped neatly under a foldout and toggleable for Editor/Runtime.🔒 [Lockable]Adds a padlock to serialized fields, making them read-only in the Inspector.Supports arrays/lists and gives you control over locking elements, header, or both.🚫 [NotDefault]Highlights fields that remain at their default value with a red outline and logs an error in the Console.Recursive support for nested structs/classes and arrays, with manual or auto-check options.🎯 [SceneRef]Replaces string or int fields with scene pickers.Automatically keeps paths in sync across prefabs/scenes with a smart broadcasting system.🖼️ [TexturePreview]Renders a visual preview of any assigned Texture2D or Sprite, optionally showing the asset path.🏷️ [ElementName]Customize how Unity labels array/list elements in the Inspector (Element 0 → Waypoint 0).💡 Try Before You BuyTwo attributes — [ElementName] and [TexturePreview] — are available for free on the Unity Asset Store.Each other attribute is also available as a standalone package if you only need one specific tool.6 purpose-built attributes to enhance Inspector workflow:・[Button] — Invoke methods from Inspector (parameters, return values, XML tooltips)・[Lockable] — Lock fields and arrays to prevent accidental edits・[NotDefault] — Detect and highlight default values with visual and console warnings・[SceneRef] — Scene dropdowns for string or int fields (auto-sync system)・[TexturePreview] — In-Inspector preview for Texture2D and Sprite・[ElementName] — Rename array/list elements in the InspectorFull support for arrays, lists, structs, and nested serialized typesDesigned to match Unity’s native Inspector UIModular system — use only the attributes you needCustom Editor for UnityEngine.Object includedIntegrated Tools menu for feature toggles and scansZero runtime impact — Editor-only utilities⚠️ Internal UsageReflectionCustomEditor (UnityEngine.Object)OdinSerializer (Open-Source Serializer) — used by [Button] only
