Summary:
GameObjectFolder is a component designed for organizing the hierarchical structure of GameObjects in the Unity Editor. It treats GameObjects as "folders" within the hierarchy, facilitating organization and adding comments.
Features and Operation:
- Comment Addition: Allows adding comments to GameObjects in the editor.
- Hierarchy Color Customization: Enables customization of the display color in the hierarchy view.
- Child Object Visibility Control: Allows toggling the visibility of child objects within the GameObject folder.
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
_comment | Comments associated with the GameObject. |
_menuColor | The display color in the hierarchy view. |
_isVisible | The visibility state of child objects. |
ChildObjects | A list of child objects. |
Usage Example
- Add the
GameObjectFoldercomponent to a GameObject to use it as a "folder" in the hierarchy. - Use the
_commentproperty to add notes or descriptions related to the GameObject. - Change the display color in the hierarchy view using the
_menuColorproperty. - Toggle the visibility of child objects in this folder using the
_isVisibleproperty.
Additional Notes
- This component is an extension of Unity Editor functionality and is primarily intended for use within the editor. It does not affect runtime behavior.
- The
Resetmethod is automatically called when the component is added to a GameObject, performing initial setup. - The
ChildObjectslist is intended for tracking child objects included in this folder, expected to be dynamically managed through editor scripts.
The GameObjectFolder component is a useful tool for managing large scenes or projects with complex hierarchical structures, helping in organizing and visualizing the hierarchy.
