SerializeField

[SitaUberAlles]

I am wondering why we’re using SerializeField, when it seems to be unnecessary.

I discovered that by using:
float nameName =value;

it will still show in the inspector, so I can change values there.
So why? Does Serialize have some benefits?
It’s unclear to me.

Thanks for a great course.

You asked in Unreal but I assume you mean Unity. If I recall, it enables you to edit the value in the properties window.

Hi.

Thank you for your answer.
I can’t understand why this is in Unreal. The course sent me here, and it says Unity at top.

Anyhow, I wasn’t clear in my question, so I’ve updated it.
I know what it does, but I am unsure why, since float nameName = value; does the same job.

Is this perhaps a Unity 6 change because I know unless you made a public property or use [SerializeField] in older versions they didn’t show for editing on the GameObject within the game.
