Question by haimmoshe · Oct 03, 2017 at 04:32 PM · editor prefab prefabs children prefab-instance

Hiding gameobjects in hierarchy make it less expensive ?

The problem is i have a prefab but the prefab have many many children cubes. So each time i drag the prefab to the scene or the hierarchy it's adding to the hierarchy a lot of children cubes.

Is there any solution to no adding the children to the hierarchy ? Maybe to convert the prefab to something else ? Maybe hiding the children in the hierarchy ? But hiding is just make them no visible they are still in the hierarchy.

Maybe there is a way to make copy of the whole children as one prefab without the children ?

I'm not sure I understand the issue. If the original prefab has many children it's logical that when you drap the prefab into a scene all children will come with it... ?

What is your goal ? If it's not "just" hiding the children ?

But the prefab have like 500 children cubes. $$anonymous$$y question if it's not too expensive i mean if i have 3-4-5 prefabs each 500 children cubes it won't make everything slowly when running the game and the prefabs are in the hierarchy ?

If you are trying to have the editor running smoothly with heavy objects within the scene I don't think there is a magic solution to solve that issue (that I know of). When I work with a lot of object I usually try to not select / open the hierachy at runtime. Selecting a parent will make stuf with all dependencies.
