MinMax property drawer for Unity - Add a [MinMax] attribute to a property to draw a useful min/max setting slider.

I'm 99% sure I've implemented this properly, but for some reason none of the handlers become visible when using the attribute. Any idea why?

Hi @LotteMakesStuff,
Made more changes made in My fork and changes.
Removed EditorGUI Vector4 field and used EditorGUI MultiFloatField along with support for Vector2Int.

Sorry for necroing this, but hat the same issue... turned out the attribute only works on Vector2 fields, which is kinda obvious when looking at the code ^^
