Show in inspector other class properties

Question

Hi,

First of all, sorry if similar topics exists, but I did not find what I need. I think my case is more specific.

I'm creating a simple RPG and i'm stuck with an issue. I want to have properties in the inspector but not from the main class, i want properties from another class wich is used as a variable in the main class.

Example:

 using UnityEngine;
 public class Character : MonoBehaviour
 {
     #region VARIABLES MEMBRES
     private string _name;
     private string _class;
     private Bar _health;//HERE
     public enum EnumType { Ally, Neutral, Ennemy };
     public EnumType characterType;
 
     #endregion
 
     #region PROPRIETES
 
     public string Name
     {
         get { return _name; }
         set { _name = value; }
     }
     public string Class
     {
         get { return _class; }
         set { _class = value; }
     }
     public Bar Health//HERE
     {
         get { return _health; }
         set { _health = value; }
     }
 
     #endregion
 
     #region CONSTRUCTEUR
 
     public Character(string n)
     {
         Name = n;
         Class = "Human";
         Health = new Bar();
         characterType = EnumType.Neutral;
     }
 
     #endregion
 }

Here you can see that i use a property "Health" for my _health variable, which is a "Bar".

Here is the Bar Class:

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Bar : MonoBehaviour
 {
     #region VARIABLES MEMBRES
 
     private int _maxValue;//HERE
     private int _currentValue;
 
     #endregion
 
     #region PROPRIETES
 
     public int MaxValue//HERE
     {
         get { return _maxValue; }
         set { _maxValue = value; }
     }
 
     public int CurrentValue
     {
         get { return _currentValue; }
         set { _currentValue = value; }
     }
 
     #endregion
 
     #region CONSTRUCTEUR
 
     public Bar()
     {
         MaxValue = 100;
         CurrentValue = MaxValue;
     }
     public Bar(int v)
     {
         MaxValue = v;
         CurrentValue = MaxValue;
     }
 
     #endregion
 }

And I want, when i drag my Character script on a GameObject, that my "MaxValue" variable from my "Bar" Class is shown in the inspector.

I have no idea how to do it, i tried so many times last night and I searched a lot online but i found nothing usefull... I really hope you can help me. And I hope I'm understandable.

Thanks for your time folks!

edit: here is a screen shot of what I have (Character) and what I want (Character Test), hope it is usefull. alt text

Ok I apparently just found the solution. I didn't tested it yet, but it appear to work in the inspector. We just need to add [Serializable] to the class and [SerializeField] to its variables.

 [Serializable]
 public class Bar{
     [SerializeField] private int _maxValue;
     [SerializeField] private int _currentValue;
 
     public int MaxValue
     {
         get { return _maxValue; }
         set { _maxValue = value; }
     }
     public int CurrentValue
     {
         get { return _currentValue; }
         set { _currentValue = value; }
     }
 }

Then add again [SerializeField] but in the variable declaration in the class Character:

 using UnityEngine;
 public class Character : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] private Bar _health;
 
 
     public Bar Health
     {
         get { return _health; }
         set { _health = value; }
     }
 }

And here is how it shows in the inspector (with others variables i use): alt text

I really hope it will help someone. Sorry for the self-solving forum. Thanks again to you @Hellium for your correction. Have a nice day folks!
