Question by MiguelDeLaCruz · Apr 11, 2011 at 06:03 PM · hierarchywindowhowaccessingrepaint

How does one access the Hierarchy Window?

I'm setting the HideFlags of certain GameObjects to HideInHierarchy, however, in order to refresh it, I have to create a game object and delete it from the hierarchy. I need to be able to refresh it (repaint) via script. Has anyone gotten access to it?

Thanks ahead of time.

Two ideas, both untested ...

  1. You could use EditorApplication.ExecuteMenuItem to invoke "Window/Hierarchy", maybe that would trigger a refresh?
  2. Or perhaps EditorGUIUtility.PingObject would help?

Dang, good calls. But calling executemenuitem was did not refresh the hierarchy for me, neither did clicking on the actual menu item X p. The Ping Object on the other hand, I wish I could use if only I could get a reference to the hierarchy window. But all in all, excellent ideas.

Sigh, I tried. I guess pinging the game object you deleted isn't sufficient to refresh the view?

Heh, just tried. Negative X p. Good thought too. But I'm sure there's a way to access that hierarchy as someone was able to use reflection on it to find undocumented, read-only values such as the foldout variables for the GameObjects being displayed in it. When I get my hands on that Hierarchy window, I'm going to Ping it so hard X p.
