Hi,
I have two issues with the scne view highlighter:

• when having scene view highlighter enabled and hovering over a gameobject that has a mesh filter component but no mesh (None) I get an error:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. SceneViewOutline.OnRenderImage (UnityEngine.RenderTexture source, UnityEngine.RenderTexture destination) (at Assets/HierarchyPlus/SceneViewOutline.cs:42)
3. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

and a warning:

Code (CSharp):

1. OnRenderImage() possibly didn't write anything to the destination texture!
2. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

• all highlighter colors get reset to the default blue after entering playmode

​

 

I have fixed the problem and submitted to asset store.
Thanks for reporting the error.

 

(WIP) Add a topbar with some new function:
Recent GameObject, Recent Scene, Selection Slot, Favorites, Notes and Quick Settings

 

(WIP) Display "Sorting Layer" like "Tag and Layer"

 

Add Tag and Layer (2), so you can have they show in different setting.
Add Sorting Layer, click on it to set Sorting Layer and Order.
You can use mouse wheel to increase and decrease the order too.
Add two new display options, HeadTail show the first and last letter.
MultiHeadTail show each word first and last letter.
And you can set use small font or not now.

Still tuning the UX of topbar function, have this update first.

 

Version 1.4 is submitted to asset store

• Add Tag and Layer (2), you can have tag and layer show in different setting now.
• Add Sorting Layer, display sorting layer and order for renderer, click on it to set layer and order. Scroll mouse wheel to increase and decrease the order.
• Add 2 new display options, "HeadTail" show the first and last letter. "MultiHeadTail" show each word first and last letter.
• Add option to display label with small font or not.
• Fixed: Level Highlighter of Shadow Label's minimum length changed to 0.

 

Version 1.4 is ready on asset store now.

 

Price restore is submitted to store, it may update today or tomorrow.

 

(WIP) Custom Icon, Icon Tint, Highlight, Text Color and Bold

 

Version 1.5 is submitted to asset store.

• Customize: Custom icon, icon tint, highlight, text color and bold. (In All-in-one menu)
• Auto Width on GameObject Note.
• Fixed: Shader error on OpenGL platform (MacOS)
• Fixed: Popup window popup on wrong position.

 

Version 1.5 is ready on asset store now.

 

(WIP) Quick settings to different feature.

 

Version 1.6 is submitted to asset store.

• Recent Scene: Select recent scene.
• Selection: Save and load selection of GameObjects.
• Favorite and Note: Select GameObject marked as favorite or attached note.

New price is also submitted, it is last chance to get it with cheap price.

 

Version 1.7 is submitted to asset store.

• Draw tree with different color tint.
• Added color option for background of Topbar.
• Fixed: Topbar blocked by scene sticky header.

 

Using Unity 2017.2 and Hierarchy Plus 1.5 I get the following warning:

 

Fixed and include to 1.7 update.

 

Hi! The new update doesn't work with Playmaker, it's lot of errors. Unity 2017.1.0f3

 

What errors do you have? I tested it no problem.

 

Version 1.7 doesn't work with .Net 4.6 anymore. previous versions did. Using Unity 2017.2.0p1 I get an exception and an error:

Fyi: This error appears regardless on which features are activated. If I turn off all in hierarchy Plus settings, the errors are still there.


Apart from this I really like how this plugin has evolved.
Here's a suggestion: For the display of tags and layers it would be nice if the colors associated with them were customizable, to be able to bring them inline with certain color associations. If this is too much hassle, an option to not have them colored at all (black/white) would suffice.

 

Fixed, will update later.

I will add customize to all color settings, but I am working on a new asset. Therefore, it may need longer time to update. However, I can make a fast update that draw tags and layers without color tint.

 

Version 1.7a is submitted to asset store.

• Added a option that draw on first level or not in Level Highlighter.
• Added option to disable color tint in Tags, Layers and Sorting Layers.
• Fixed: Error when using .NET 4.6.

 

Update one more in 1.7a, added a option to disable draw mask on Function Button area.

 

Hi, you might want to try this in the same scene as the Realistic FPS Prefab asset.

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/realistic-fps-prefab-7739

I don't know if it's something about RFPS specifically, but Unity grinds to a 1fps crawl with the Hierarchy Item Drawer (all the extra icons, colours and labels) turned on. Turn it off and everything's fine again, but that defeats the purpose of Hierarchy Plus.

 

I still get an exception upon exiting play mode :-/

 

Can you try enable different icon individually to find out which function affecting the performance.
Thanks.

 

A user in review stated that run in playmode with Hierarchy Plus will drop down the frame rate, but I try this with a interesting result.

Disabled item drawer with 82 fps.

Enable item drawer with 378 fps.


Anyone has performance issue too? Can you provide some information about it.
Thank you.

The scene I tested from a free asset:
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/92132

 

Is it only happen on exiting play mode? Had the scene's GameObject changed in play mode?
I think it may be Unity clear the GameObject created in play mode, so the index is out of range during exiting and exited play mode.

 

Log

The option at the bottom of the Function Button list that shows little red error icons for things that have problems. Turn that off and it goes fine.

There must have been some errors in this scene. This particular problem seems to have no effect at run time.

 

Do your scene has any red error icons?

 

When I search in play mode. I got following error:

Hi,
Two scenes i made including the plugin had severe drop down frame rate.
I found it was the plugin database and when you run the game the plugin create some object that is running in background.
I assume no process from the plugin should be running when i am in game mode.

There is also some database process just after your press "Run" game ? Why ?
I don't thind it reliable so i removed it.

 

I check the range now, should fix the problem.

 

Do you mean the DataObject? It only create once, unless it is deleted, then it will be auto re-created again.
If you don't want this object, you can disable it.

 

Version 1.7b is submitted to asset store.

• Added option to draw dot in "Back to Parent" that fit the style of tree line.
• Fixed: Error when Tag/Layer is invalid.
• Fixed: Draw wrong things when searching.
• Fixed: Add exception handling so that a row get error, will skip to next row.
• Fixed: Some TreeViewInject error.

 

I don't know, you are the plugin developper , we don't expect anything to be running while in Game mode and any object creation, we don't expect half frame rate drop down as this is a presentation plugin
And we also don't expect a database process when pressing "play" button.

Anyway i'll use some alternative plugin that don't have those conception issues.

 

Version 1.7b is ready on asset store now.
Added one more option: Disable Log in Playmode.
This is the most possible function affecting the performance.

 

Why there is a log mode ?
(It's a visual presentation tool not some level designer plugin)

 

Log function is used to show error or missing reference of gameobject.

 

Hello again, I updated to 1.7b, I have following error:

ArgumentException: The scene is invalid.
UnityEngine.SceneManagement.Scene.GetRootGameObjects (System.Collections.Generic.List`1 rootGameObjects) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/SceneBindings.gen.cs:58)

UnityEngine.Debug:LogException(Exception)
HierarchyPlus.HierarchyDrawer:HierarchyWindowItemOnGUI(Int32, Rect) (at Assets/HierarchyPlus/Editor/Drawer.cs:280)
UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

 

It seems that the scene of the gameobject is invalid?
Do this scene has problem?
Is this error also on other scene?

You can try to disable Data Object and enable it again.
It will re-create the Data Object if the scene is no problem.

 

Never log during game mode, absolutely no "Hierarchy plus" process should be active during game mode.

 

I found that I have set EditorWindow.autoRepaintOnSceneChange to true for hierarchy window, so in play mode the hierarchy window will repaint per frame as the scene is changed. This drop the game view frame rate. I will set this to false when enter play mode. I also optimized a lot of code with huge performance improvements.

 

I don't know how it is coded or done, it looks like some overload on Unity system, and i'm suprised it has some frame rate impact even if minimal. I will stay with Unity default hierarchy until they decide to enhance it.

 

You are wrong, after changed the setting of autoRepaintOnSceneChange. The hierarchy window will not repaint unless you touch it. Therefore, the game view in play mode does not get any impact. It is no different between enhanced drawer or the default one.
