C# variable names do not match Unity UI names

I'm new to Unity (less than a week), but I was curious if there was a way to get variable names in the scripts to match what is shown on the Unity UI.

For example, I have a variable declared as:

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject playerExplosion;

In the Unity UI in the Inspector for the parent object, it has "Player Explosion" listed. I would much rather it show "playerExplosion". I know its a nit and is not all that important. Something about it just bothers me though....

 

Heres a thread about the camelCase conventions in Unity

The inspector auto- capitalizing and spacing words is good IMO. You want the visual editor side of development to be clean and readable, so having non-spaced properties isn't a great idea.

 

It's not possible to prevent the inspector from "prettifying" the variable names.

Don't worry about it too much, it functions properly. If you're really worried about putting stuff in the wrong place plan on that and give stuff good and distinct names.

 

Could write inspectors for everything, tho more effort than it's worth

 

Really I don't get what the big deal is, people tend to use to separate words in variables, and unity is just spilting it for you. If you don't want words splilt up in the inspector just don't use camelCase.

 

Thanks everyone! This will ensure I follow good variable naming standards. It wasn't a big deal. It was just a nit.
