Public variables created in Rider do not show up in Unity-CodePudding

I just started using Unity (which came with VSC), but I had better experience using JetBarin products such as IntelliJ IDEA, so I went and switched to Rider. However, I am now unable to connect public variables (int, float, GameObject) to my Unity projects.

I tried updating Rider and changing some setting, but came none the wiser.

UPDATE: There have been (obvious) request for my code to see the exact issue, so I hope this helps clear up the issue a little bit:

Code written in VSC

The resulting public variables showing up in Unity

Similar code written using Rider

No interactive variables showing up in Unity

CodePudding user response：

Unity serializes only fields (not properties with get or set) of MonoBehaviours. All public fields are serialized unless have [System.NonSerialized] attribute.

DO NOT get confused with the [HideInInspector] attribute, it won't be visible in the inspector (if you don't have a custom inspector) but WILL BE serialized.

class Foo
{
    // Bar won't be shown in the inspector or serialized.
    [System.NonSerialized]
    public int Bar = 5;
}

To serialize a non-public field use [SerializeField] attribute for primitive types (such as int, float, bool).

public class SomePerson : MonoBehaviour
{
    // This field gets serialized because it is public.
    public string name = "John";

    // This field does not get serialized because it is private.
    private int age = 40;

    // This field gets serialized even though it is private
    // because it has the SerializeField attribute applied.
    [SerializeField]
    private bool isMale = true;
}

If you wanna serialize own class or struct, use [System.Serializable] attribute.

[System.Serializable]
public struct PlayerStats
{
    public int level;
    public int health;
}
