# Attributes in Script

## **Basics**

**Attributes** is special markers that can be placed above a class, field or method in a script to indicate special for **Force** behaviour and also for **.NET Framework**. For example, you can add the `ShowInInspector` attribute above a field declaration to prevent the **Inspector** from showing the field, even if it is `private`. 

C# contains attribute names within square brackets, like so:

```csharp
using Force;

public class AttributesExample : MonoScript {

	[HideInInspector]
	private float speed;
	
	private string velocity;
}
```

In this case field `speed` will be displayed in **Inspector** as if public, and `velocity`  stay private. Also its not change the field access modifier.
