Unity Hierarchy marker asset

Here is a nice new Unity asset to mark GameObjects in the Hierarchy window of Unity. It’s a very simple but really useful tool that helps you to find you GameObjects in your scene.

Unity Hierrachy marker asset overview

If you want to track some GameObjects in a hugh list of objects in your scene, just click it and the marker appears. No typing of the name to find your object anymore, you always see your tracked GameObects you are currently interested in.

We added custom sorters so that every GameObject you set a marker for appears before the other objects – very easy to track your objects with that method:

Settings

You can set options for the hierarchy markers like defining if you want to mark / unmark all children or parents of an object and if the sorting should be applied immediately after you marked or unmarked a GameObject:
