EditorUtility.CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags

static function CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags(name: string, flags: HideFlags, params components: Type[]): GameObject;
static GameObject CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags(string name, HideFlags flags, params Type[] components);
static def CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags(name as string, flags as HideFlags, *components as Type[]) as GameObject

Description

Creates a game object with HideFlags and specified components.

This is very similar to creating a GameObject the usual way, except it sets the specified HideFlags immediately.

Editor Window that shows how does the example looks.

	// Simple script that lets you manage the flags of an instanceID from a
	// GameObject or lets you create a new empty GameObject with custom flags set

class GameObjectFlags extends EditorWindow {

var objName : String = "GameObject"; var instanceID : int = 0; var create : boolean = true; var go : GameObject = null;

var hideHierarchy : boolean = false;

@MenuItem("Examples/GameObject flags") static function Init() { var window = GetWindow(GameObjectFlags); window.Show(); }

function OnGUI() { create = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Create a GO:", create); GUI.enabled = create; objName = EditorGUILayout.TextField("GameObject Name:", objName); if(GUILayout.Button("Create")) { var created = EditorUtility.CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags( objName, hideHierarchy ? HideFlags.HideInHierarchy : 0); Debug.Log("Created GameObject ID: " + created.GetInstanceID()); } GUI.enabled = !create; EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); instanceID = EditorGUILayout.IntField("Instance ID:", instanceID); if(GUILayout.Button("Search & Update flags")) { go = null; go = EditorUtility.InstanceIDToObject(instanceID); if(go) go.hideFlags = hideHierarchy ? HideFlags.HideInHierarchy : 0; } EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

if(!go) EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Object: ","No object was found"); else EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Object: ", go.name);

GUI.enabled = true; hideHierarchy = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("HideInHierarchy", hideHierarchy);

} }
