Unity Editor : How to resize and space value field of an inspector property field?

Question

I am trying to implement my first unity editor code to make a custom array property drawer with indented named entries and indented and dynamicaly resized value fields.

I am using the following simple git solution as base for my code, which allows to set the labels of an array in the inspector : HERE

replacing the example shown in the gitHub solution, I am working with this enum as my array element name container:

[System.Serializable]
public enum HealthNames
{
    General,
    Head,
    Body,
    RightArm,
    LeftArm,
    Rightleg,
    leftLeg,
}

and sets it up on a array in a monobehaviour class :

[ LabeledArray( typeof( HealthNames ) ) ]
public int[] m_aHealth = new int[ Enum.GetNames( typeof( HealthNames ) ).Length ];

I have added EditorGUI.indentLevel++; and EditorGUI.indentLevel--; at the start and end of the try statement to indent the label of the array elements, making them stand out from the size property.

Going from there, I have searched ways to add an indent on the elements' value fields or remove it from the size property's value field. but have found no answer using EditorGUI

I also looked to be able to resize all value fields dynamicaly, but there again, no answer came using EditorGUI only. there is no way to use EditorStyle.AnyField.WordWrap = true; on a propertyfield. Passing the PropertyField to an IntField, using a EditorStyles.NumberField and setting having its wrodwrapping set to true beforehand has no effect.

I also have found a small number of EditorGUILayout from a few years ago, but which do not work since the solution is built from the ground with EditorGUI

In hope of your enlightment on the matter

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly you want the labels and the value fields indented.

I think it could be done like e.g.

private const int INDENT = 15;

public override void OnGUI(Rect rect, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label)
{
    EditorGUI.BeginProperty(rect, label, property);
    var fieldsRect = new Rect(rect.x + INDENT, rect.y, rect.width - INDENT, rect.height);
    try
    {
        var path = property.propertyPath;
        int pos = int.Parse(path.Split('[').LastOrDefault().TrimEnd(']'));
        EditorGUI.PropertyField(fieldRect, property, new GUIContent(ObjectNames.NicifyVariableName(((LabeledArrayAttribute)attribute).names[pos])), true);
    }
    catch
    {
        EditorGUI.PropertyField(fieldRect, property, label, true);
    }
    EditorGUI.EndProperty();
}
