also for some reason it dosnt work for arrays

Made a change to this so that it works in properties that aren't at the root level, solution for which was found here: https://www.brechtos.com/hiding-or-disabling-inspector-properties-using-propertydrawers-within-unity-5/

    public override void OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label)
    {
        ShowWhenAttribute attribute = (ShowWhenAttribute) this.attribute;
        var propPath = property.propertyPath;
        var conditionalPath = propPath.Replace(property.name, attribute.conditionFieldName);
        SerializedProperty conditionField = property.serializedObject.FindProperty(conditionalPath);
