HierarchyS and FavoriteS are essential tools designed to significantly enhance your Unity development process by improving both scene management and asset handling.
HierarchyS transforms the Unity Hierarchy window into a more powerful and intuitive workspace:
- Automatic Component Icons: Upon installation, HierarchyS automatically assigns recognizable icons to various components in your Hierarchy window. This feature helps developers quickly identify and manage GameObjects, making scene navigation and component management more efficient.
- Quick Inspector: Each component icon in the Hierarchy provides a shortcut to a focused Inspector view, allowing for rapid editing and adjustments without needing to navigate through multiple layers of the Inspector window.
- Custom Icons: For enhanced visual clarity, HierarchyS allows you to assign custom icons to components, including custom scripts and third-party packages. This customization improves organization and makes it easier to locate and manage specific components.
- Error and Warning Tracker: HierarchyS includes a robust error and warning tracking system that highlights common issues in your scene. This includes:
- Negative Colliders: Detects colliders with negative dimensions that could affect physics calculations.
- Missing Scripts: Flags GameObjects that are missing essential MonoBehaviour scripts.
- Missing Renderers on LOD: Identifies Level of Detail (LOD) groups that lack necessary renderers.
- Duplicate Event Systems or Audio Listeners: Alerts you to multiple instances of event systems or audio listeners that could cause conflicts.
- Missing References: Marks scripts with missing serialized field references. Clicking these warning and error icons provides detailed descriptions to help you address and fix issues quickly.
FavoriteS complements HierarchyS by streamlining asset handling:
- Organized Asset Management: With FavoriteS, you can create custom categories to group and manage frequently used assets, scripts, and prefabs. This organization simplifies access to your most important files and helps keep your project tidy.
- Efficient File Access: The Favorites window supports drag-and-drop functionality, allowing you to quickly add and organize files. A powerful search function helps you find specific items in seconds, while the ability to collapse categories ensures a clean and uncluttered interface.
- Streamlined Workflow: Easily interact with files directly from the Favorites window—open files with a double click or view their file paths with a single click. This streamlined access reduces time spent navigating through the Project window and enhances overall productivity.
Together, HierarchyS and FavoriteS provide a comprehensive toolkit for Unity developers, enhancing scene management, simplifying error resolution, and optimizing asset handling. These tools are designed to make your development process more efficient and organized, ensuring a smoother and more productive workflow.
