Editing Value Properties
Value properties do not reference anything and they can be edited right on the spot. Typical value properties are numbers, toggles, strings, and selection popups, but they can also be colors, vectors, curves, and other types.
Value properties on the inspector can be numbers, checkboxes, strings...
Many value properties have a text field and can be adjusted simply by clicking on them, entering a value using the keyboard, and pressing to save the value.
- You can also put your mouse next to a numeric property, left-click and drag it to scroll values quickly
- Some numeric properties also have a slider that can be used to visually tweak the value.
Some Value Properties open up a small popup dialog that can be used to edit the value.

Curve Editor
Properties of the AnimationCurve type will open up the Curve Editor. The Curve Editor lets you edit a curve or choose from one of the presets. For more information on editing curves, see the guide on Editing Curves.
The type is called AnimationCurve for legacy reasons, but it can be used to define any custom curve function. The function can then be evaluated at runtime from a script.
An AnimationCurve property is shown in the inspector as a small preview:
