EditorUtility.CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags

Parameters

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);

		}
