FIRST! HierarchyMode - New EditorVR tool available on GitHub

Hey everyone,

Looks like I am the first to put up an open source EditorVR tool (or at least the first to brag about it here). Boom!

Anyone out there working on a tool of your own? Tell me all about it. I'll try it when you're ready to share.

This is my first crack at an EditorVR tool. I finished it a couple days ago. You can get it from here:
https://github.com/ajcampbell1333/unity3d-editorvr-hierarchymode

The purpose of this tool is to access all the Hierarchy functionality without needing to pull up the Hierarchy menu.

Here's a video to demonstrate it:

 

Quick Disclaimer: I originally conceived of HierarchyMode using Handles.ArrowCaps but those don't seem to work in EditorVR yet so I switched to line renderer components temporarily. I know that's not ideal because it may conflict with a given implementation of line renderers on your objects. If your scene is line-renderer-happy, use my HierarchyMode tool with caution.

 

@TexasGreenTea, We haven't posted a wiki or FAQ about this, but we want to encourage developers to place their own tools outside of the EditorVR folder, so it is easier to maintain updates. Ideally, people can update their EditorVR package and assuming no breaking compatibility changes your tools would be left intact.

 

@TexasGreenTea, we are putting together a little something for EVR toolmakers. Would you mind emailing me at timoni@unity3d.com?

 

My pleasure, Timoni. Just emailed you. Will you be showing off more EVR goodness at GDC?

 

Great stuff. This is heading in the right direction.
