[ 2021 ] Hierarchy Pro - Auto HighLighter

I'm very unhappy at upgrading to the most recent version of Hierarchy Pro, only to find functionality has been REMOVED and put in a NEW, MORE EXPENSIVE version. Specifically, the ability to text colour settings, and the hypergraph.

Can I please get an upgrade to the Extended version, since that has the functionality I specifically purchased this asset for?

 

Hi !

I got this new error message since i installed Hierarchy Pro which is quite annoying (its blocking completely Unity until i restart it, and it's occurring mostly every time i first launch unity);

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. UnityEditor.UIElements.UIElementsEditorUtility..cctor () (at <9ddd600ae5964fe0b21a870e08c53748>:0)
3. Rethrow as TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'UnityEditor.UIElements.UIElementsEditorUtility' threw an exception.

9. UnityEditorInternal.InternalEditorUtility:LoadSerializedFileAndForget(String)
10. UnityEditor.WindowLayout:LoadDefaultWindowPreferences()

Checked it on Unity Forums but could not get a fix so i wondered if anyone with Hierarchy Pro encountered this ?

 

Code (CSharp):

1.     using UnityEngine;
2.     using System.Collections;
3.     using UnityEditor;
4.  
5.     public class RemoveHierarchyPro : Editor
6.  
7.     {
8.  
9.         [MenuItem("Tools/HierarchyPro/Remove HierarchyPro Object")]
10.         static void Init()
11.         {
12.  
13.             GameObject go = GameObject.Find("DescriptionHelperObject");
14.  
15.             if(go != null)
16.                 GameObject.DestroyImmediate(go);
17.  
18.         }
19.  
20.     }
21.  

no, maybe you have to clear the cache of the asset store in your application data folder documents

this applies only to the new plugin version, you can use legacy code, previous version located in the zip archive, all the previous functionality is available for the legacy version, colors and so on (old version is now published with a source code for all users)

 

Thank-you for your reply, but the problem is that in "My Assets" I can see "Hierarchy PRO", so it's fine, but when I import it I have the free version.
Do you think is a cache issue?

 

I keep getting this:

Assets\EModules\Hierarchy\SharedFolder\DescriptionRegistrator.cs(15,9): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'RegistrateDescription' does not exist in the namespace 'Utilities' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

And the module no longer works.

 

Hmm, don't think, thank you for informing, I thought the problem was not related to the asset

Thanks. I will check it for next update. Maybe this problem is related to assembly definition file. In anyway, sorry for this inconvenience and delay.

 

What happened? Unity 2020.1.15

 

Hello, and Merry Christmas!
Maybe would it be possible, as a Christmas gift, to have the Hierarchy PRO version downloadable for registered users, from the Package Manager?
It would be really nice... :/
Many thanks

Hi, i love the Hierarchy PRO - Extended

There is a problem with the Peek asset (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/peek-editor-toolkit-149410):
The hierarchy of that Peek asset is empty:


(When i turn off that "Hierarchy PRO - Extended", the Peek hierarchy works as expected. )

 

Is it dropped again?The last update is from august. I bought the extended version although I had the pro just to support the development.
I can't undo after instantiating something in the editor, it produce the following error at line 891 of root.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1. ArgumentException: Field m_SceneHierarchy defined on type UnityEditor.SceneHierarchyWindow is not a field on the target object which is of type UnityEditor.InspectorWindow.
2.  
3. Parameter name: obj

10. UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallGlobalEventHandler() (at ?)

 

The extended version hasn't been updated since August whereas the regular version was last updated in October. So I am currently using the version missing half the features, even though I own the extended version. Extended is simply too broken, so I cannot use it.

There are errors firing from time to time, the plugin adds around 500ms to domain reloads which means an extra half second of wait with every recompile, and the root of the Assets folder is polluted with an extra EMX directory which could be hidden in Editor instead.

I'm about to pull the plug on this plugin, the author has shown himself to be way too unreliable. Unless the author was in a bad car accident or similar, not giving updates for nearly 3 months is simply unacceptable, however busy he may be.

The only thing I really care about is the efficient UI for toggling GameObjects on and off, the great auto-highlighter. For christ sake why can't Unity just give us a good hierarchy.

 

New Video coming tomorrow. "Apollo's Dream II" Using tons of assets, as usual.
Hope everyone enjoys it, the scene and music has been in the works for a long time. We are glad we are finally coming to a final product.

Keep an eye on our YouTube for the new video.

maaan its broken in Unity 2021
i love the color coding and the gameobject active / deactive, thats most important parts, and i do like the icons with the first letter of each script, and the tags / layers thing lol

wish Unity would have these things in it by default

i think this asset is one of the best, but i think where the developer really messed up is putting in too many unnecessary things,

these are only things it really needed IMO:

color highlighting
active /deactive button in hierarchy
tags / layers alongside objects in hierarchy
icons for the components on objects in hierarchy

 

100% agree!
That is one reason why I am still using 2019. I can't live without this tool.
Hope he can find a fix for you!

 

@LuiBroDood these are all available in Hierarchy2 which is totally free.
I was an early adopter of Hierarchy Pro (and wrote one of the earliest store reviews), but I agree it's falling behind, unlike some other Hierarchy tools.

 

Apollo's Dream II is now live!
A ton of work went into this one, I hope everyone will enjoy it.
Creating beauty with Unity for a Virtual Experience with an original soundtrack is a lot of fun and I hope it shows in the video.

Without Hierarchy Pro tools, I don't know how I could have completed this. A major time saver and makes Unity a joy to use.

 

Jeez, surprised you're still awaiting for updates, I can`t believe this, you're awesome, really, thanks for everything!
Quite a lot of posts here today. I have the draft fix list, maybe a little preview can pique your interest. I'm planning to update this week, maybe the day after. It will contain mainly fixes and improvements for already existing features.

Of course I'll continute to improve asset after a while, and I wanted to get your thoughts about the design of main hierarchy window, exacly, how can I better replace modules buttons (as an addition option, of course) and some questions of which bookmark window style would you like to see, or that one's not important thing. Give me your opinion, please, if you have any thoughts about it.

Yay thank you

 

The Use Background Color does not work in the project, Unity 2020.1.17f1


What I mean is you can select it and it will give you the background color, however you cannot unselect it. Stuck forever.

Please tell me how to fix

 

Try to find "ProjectWindowObjectsData.cs"
there is a part of code around at the 150 line:

Code (CSharp):

1.         internal bool RemoveObjectData(HierarchyObject o)
2.         {
3.             if (o.project == null) throw new Exception("o.project == null");
4.  
5.             var g = GetObjectData(o);
6.             if (g == null) return false;
7.             _cache.Remove( o.id );
8.             guid_to_cache.Remove(o.project.guid);
9.             path_to_cache.Remove(o.project.guid);
10.             SetDirty();
11.             return true;
12.         }

replace "path_to_cache.Remove(o.project.guid);" with "path_to_cache.Remove(o.project.assetPath);"
so it should look like:

Code (CSharp):

1.         internal bool RemoveObjectData(HierarchyObject o)
2.         {
3.             if (o.project == null) throw new Exception("o.project == null");
4.  
5.             var g = GetObjectData(o);
6.             if (g == null) return false;
7.             _cache.Remove( o.id );
8.             guid_to_cache.Remove(o.project.guid);
9.             path_to_cache.Remove(o.project.assetPath);
10.             SetDirty();
11.             return true;
12.         }

I'll include this fix in the next update. I'm gonna improve the cache, I'll try reproduce old feature like, storaging data in the scene, and I'll try to redisign undo function to temp scene data, because now, undo doesn't work for hierarchy extensions because there was some problems with cleaning the new cache

Alright that fixes it thanks, would definitely be nice to see you more active and updating

 

Is there an option somewhere to enable grid in hierarchy window?

 

Thanks

try this:

and this:

if you missed something another I can add that too, today or little later, just write down what you want to see

 

[Warning] Importer(NativeFormatImporter) generated inconsistent result for asset(guid:7139dd0366071d34fbda1494237b61b0) "Assets/EMX/HierarchyPro/Editor/_SAVED_DATA/HierarchyCommonData.asset"

Not sure why this is popping up? Unity 2020.3.4f1

 

How often is it? I am a little late with the update, I removed pdf doc files and asset was refused publication, hope update will be awaliable today

 

The assetstore team did not respond to my email yesterday, and did not consider the update, today I thought "ok, I'm adding a little bit of new improvments", reuploaded, and nothing again. Seems assetstore team don't appreciate my activity lately . The first approving in the short time, last one little longer, probably because I frequently reuploaded my asset. Would try to increase the version today, maybe asset will go to other staff members. Sorry for delay, but it will be important update, there will be many fixes and improvments.

( p.s: I'm being a little sarcastic, of course, No, there isn't, not I'm complaining. I love assetstore team and I never had a problem with them, assetstore Team The Best! )

 

I'd say just be patient. They update stuff at weird times, if it takes more than a week then I'd fret.

Update: will update again as soon as possible, mby tomorrow, there're some problems with the unity 2021 release (I tried with beta ^^) , and some other little bugs as always like the right mods position or fonts size

 

Hi there @mr_duke . Can you please tell me how can I get this scene history (This thing at bottom of hierarchy) part back to this position and this style? I mean at bottom of Hierarchy window. Right now in new version, scene history is separate and independent which kinda sucks because it's only wasting space on out screen. Any way to get back this in newer Hierarchy Pro version?

 

Since 2018 unity started putting strange methods that throws strange exceptions when I tried to integrate this pannel. But hope 2021 will allow bring it back again, today unity gives new a gui behaviour for editor windows, uss styles, and other aditional params, in general I hope that I can back it for 2021 and above

Oh, yeah, for the new hierarchy version you able to use this menu if you want to switch between scenes without openning scenes' windows

 

Hope so, fingers crossed.

 

Asset ovewriting existing settings every time lol. So many bugs... That's a shame, and asset still are used, a marvel. Will update again soon, today probably While I'm preparing new screenshots, I'm finding dozens of bugs.

 

@mr_duke Perhaps you could raise the price and promote the asset more heavily so it's more lucrative for you. I mean this is still potentially the best hierarchy plugin if it's given bugfixes and attention.

 

I 2nd that

 

@AGregori @zKici That's probably a good idea, at first I thought 25, slight difference, considering the income, but probably too expensive for users, but later I remembered what there might be a few varians, probably would be a little expensive variant if revenue or funding is greater than... and so on hmm. Hovewer, if asset will would sell well, 20-25 might be normal, to make a difference in price with respect to the other hierarchy assets.

Plan upload today the last update fixes all known bugs

 

Why don't you try giving a FREE version with some basic features which a new user could only get idea and then add a PRO version (Which is this current version). But a price of $25 would be too much for a hierarchy plugin. I think $15 is enough and as you add new features and improvement and gain some potential user attention, you should increase it's price. This way you can catch some new user's attention as well as make some bucks.

 

@umair21 and I think that 25 too much, yeah is already 15 too much remember it was 3 )) just old times, pretty. What about free, unfortunately, doesn't work, I tried it, it only makes sales worse. seems users don't want to pay for hierarchy asset. The person who wants to pay, most likely, open asset site, type "hierarchy", and starts going through all the options. Plus there is a second way for those who don't have enough money - piracy, of course I, as a developer, do not favour this way, but I've been thinking about that and think the piracy probably might give the same rights for users of different income groups. Well great, if you have no money, you still have the top soft

Update to the new logic had wasted a great deal of time, the first asset version had multiple button set which was constantly expanding. On the whole, it seems or looks like there might be some truth, the create a new version would be easier than the recreae existing. But, anyway, it gave the possibility to keep an asset in working order, again. And now, I may make quick changes and add new improvments, and if I might get bottom bar back, it will the icing on the cake )) it is going to be really great.

Ha, seems I found a way that might help to get the bottom bar back. I’m not sure 100% will have to perform additional tests. I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow it’ll be available. Hope it will work. My stomach's doing cartwheels. I guess I could found it sooner, but better late than never.

 

Yaaay! Waiting for this awesome feature to come back. Thanks again for your fast work sir. :-D

 

New update already done, probably download will be awaliable on Tuesday. I'm finishing making the new screenshots and site today, and while I'm doing that I will try to find another bugs or new problems

 

Keep up the good work

 

Hight CPU usage:

I found the cause: by NOT using the 'Bookmarks Mod'. I mean, close that window if you have opened it. :

 

Yep, thanks, there're some problems with repaint external mods (problem is looping of mouseonup function, it all the time repaint whole mods windows), it already fixed, and update should be awaliable for download tomorrow.

 

Hi, would it be possible for you to move the plugin (

Assets/EMX/

directory) to

Assets/Plugins/EMX/

soon? Currently it's in the root of

Assets/

which is no good for project organization. Thanks!

 

Hi, It seems to be ok now. What the problems you have encountered? Thank you!



Maybe you meant that it should be in the 'Plugins' folder by deafult? Which name would be better ''Assets/Plugins/EMX/Hierarchy PRO/" or ''Assets/Plugins/Hierarchy PRO/" ?
