Hierarchy

The Hierarchy feature provides a runtime scene tree view: browse all GameObjects, expand and collapse nodes, and select an object for inspection in the Inspector tab.

Overview

  • Purpose: Navigate the active scene(s) at runtime and select GameObjects for the Inspector.
  • UI: A tree view showing root objects and their children, with icons indicating active/inactive state.
  • Updates: The tree refreshes when the hierarchy changes (objects added/removed, scene load/unload) and at a configurable interval while the tab is visible.
