MessageKit VS NaughtyAttributes

do not use SendMessage(), it is very slow, stay event based, if you wish to go message based, at least consider something like prime31's https://github.com/prime31/MessageKit, much faster and is in your 'managed' code.

eitherway I would recommend prime31's messageKit (https://github.com/prime31/MessageKit) over unity's SendMessage(). avoids any reflection fun-times and is better at avoiding crossing the native > managed code barrier at runtime.

Messaging Systems (https://github.com/prime31/MessageKit) (be careful not to get into a spaghetti mess)

Absolutely every project. I genuinely cannot do Unity without it: https://github.com/prime31/MessageKit - decoupled messaging

NaughtyAttributes is a free plugin that allows you to do so. By using attributes you can make your fields a lot easier to manage. For example [Tag] is an attribute that allows your string to be directly linked to the corresponding tag.

In Unity, you could use NaughtyAttributes and then use the [Required] attribute to indicate that a value is mandatory.

NaughtyAttributes https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes is amazing for quickly and easily customizing script inspectors without having to resort to a full custom inspector GUI

Naughty Attributes is your friend

It's a professional team of ~15. Being able to customize the display of data within the Inspector makes it much easier for less technical team members to tune and create.

I personally love Naughty Attributes: https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes which makes it easy to add inspector buttons to functions.

I went and looked for the open source version I mentioned - https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes

For Unity, I strongly recommend something like NaughtyAttributes to help expose your data in the Inspector with better widgets and validation. (There are paid alternatives too. Odin might accomplish a lot of the same?)

There's also free alternatives like naughty attributes which has a HideIf attribute too
