The Utility Tools Pack is an essential collection of five powerful editor tools designed to streamline your workflow in Unity. These tools enhance your ability to manage GameObjects efficiently, making them a must-have for anyone working in the Unity environment.
- GameObject Stats: Understanding the performance and resource usage of your GameObjects is crucial for any game development project. This tool provides a detailed analysis of the selected GameObject and its children, including the total number of mesh objects, total skinned mesh objects, vertex count, and triangle count. With this information, you can make informed decisions about optimizing your assets and ensuring smooth gameplay.
- Object Replacer: Efficiently managing assets is key to maintaining an organized project. The Object Replacer tool simplifies the process of replacing selected GameObjects with prefabs while preserving their original transform settings. This means you can easily swap out assets without losing their position, rotation, or scale in the scene, saving you time and effort in your workflow.
- Sort Object By Name: Organizing your scene hierarchy can become cumbersome as your project grows. The Sort Object By Name tool allows you to sort the children of a specified GameObject in alphabetical order by name. This feature makes it easier to locate and manage your objects, leading to a more organized and navigable scene structure.
- Sort Object By Transform: When working with multiple GameObjects, keeping them arranged based on their position can improve clarity and make development more intuitive. This tool sorts the children of a specified GameObject based on their position in the scene, allowing you to maintain a logical order for your objects. It’s especially useful when working with spatial arrangements, such as in level design.
- Transform Correction: Ensuring that your GameObjects are correctly positioned and oriented is vital for achieving the desired look and feel in your game. The Transform Correction tool automatically corrects the transforms of a selected GameObject and its children. This helps to eliminate any unwanted discrepancies in scale, rotation, or position, leading to a more polished and professional outcome. Limitation: Occasionally, rotation values may not visually update in the Inspector due to a Unity bug, even though they have been corrected.
Together, these tools offer a comprehensive solution for improving scene management in Unity. Whether you are a solo developer or part of a larger team, the Utility Tools Pack enhances your workflow, allowing you to focus more on creativity and less on tedious tasks. By integrating these tools into your development process, you can elevate your project’s organization, efficiency, and overall quality.
