Hierarchy Pro - Rule-based Styling for Teams

Stop color-coding your hierarchy by hand.

Hierarchy Pro is the only Unity hierarchy tool driven by a rule engine. Instead of clicking each object and assigning a color or icon one by one, you write a rule once - "name starts with NPC_", "has a Camera", "tag = Player" - and every matching object styles itself automatically, across every scene, including new objects you create later. Set it up once. It just stays organized.

STYLE BY RULES, NOT CLICKS

Match GameObjects by name (equals / starts-with / contains / regex), component, tag, layer, or component namespace. Component matching is inheritance-aware, like GetComponent - a rule naming NetworkBehaviour styles every script derived from it - and namespace matching styles anything from your own code (MyGame) or a package (Unity.Netcode, Mirror). Each rule can apply a text color, bold, a full-row background, an icon, a right-aligned badge, or a full-width header/divider bar. Rules evaluate top-to-bottom and layer, so broad rules plus specific overrides do exactly what you'd expect.

BUILT FOR TEAMS — SHARE ONE CONFIG IN A SINGLE COMMIT

All your rules and colors live in one ScriptableObject asset in your project. Commit it, and your whole team gets identical hierarchy styling with zero per-machine setup. Any developer can mute it locally or point at a personal override without touching the shared config. It's a normal git-friendly asset - no merge headaches, no settings lost on reinstall.

CREATE A RULE FROM YOUR SELECTION

Select some objects, right-click → Create Rule from Selection, and Hierarchy Pro infers the best matching rule for you (shared component, common name prefix, tag, or layer) and pre-colors it.

NATIVE HEADERS & DIVIDERS — NO FAKE GAMEOBJECTS

Turn the organiser objects you already use into clean full-width header bars - no ugly ===== naming trick, and Hierarchy Pro only draws, so it never creates or renames objects on its own. Header objects stay correct on folder objects: the foldout arrow remains visible and clickable. Need a standalone divider with nothing under it? One click (GameObject > Hierarchy Pro > Create Header Divider) drops one in tagged EditorOnly, so Unity strips it from your build - a header while you work, gone at runtime.

SEE WHAT'S INSIDE — CHILD COUNTS AT A GLANCE

Any rule can show how many objects a row holds, as a right-aligned count box that inverts the row's own colors so it stays readable against any style you've set. Answer "how much is in this folder?" without expanding a thing. It's a per-rule toggle like every other visual - put counts on your header rows, your UI containers, whatever matters - or flip one switch to show them on every parent. Count direct children or the entire branch.

VISUAL ICON PICKER

Pick from a searchable grid of built-in editor icons (common set + browse-all), or assign your own texture. No magic strings to remember.

COLORBLIND-SAFE BY DEFAULT

Because the whole tool is about color, new rules default to a colorblind-safe palette (distinguishable across all common types of color blindness), and you can pair color with icons and badges so styling reads for everyone. Row labels auto-pick black/white for contrast.

NEVER TOUCHES YOUR SCENE

Hierarchy Pro only draws. It never adds components, renames, reparents, or creates marker objects - so turning it on or off can't modify, break, or bloat a scene. Fully reversible.

POLISHED, FAST WORKFLOW

Compact rule cards with live color/icon previews, drag-to-reorder, a quick-add bar, one-click starter rules, and selection- and theme-aware drawing (dark & light) that stays smooth on large hierarchies.
