Hey for a class I am in I need to make a custom property drawer for an already existing game. I am not really grasping the idea of a property drawer and to be honest I don't know why I wouldn't just make a custom window or inspector instead so if someone could really dumb down the general idea for me and where in my game I should be looking to implement a property drawer that would be amazing!

It's for when you make some custom type that always needs to be drawn/edited in a certain way no matter what inspector it shows up in

For example Vector3 uses a PropertyDrawer and that's why instead of seeing x, y and z on separate lines like you would for a normal struct, you see it all on one line. Quaternion uses one so we see the rotation in Euler angles in the inspector instead of seeing xyzw fields
