Examples

using UnityEngine;using UnityEditor;public class CreateGOHideFlagsExample : EditorWindow{    string objName = "GameObject";    int instanceID = 0;    bool create = true;    GameObject go = null;    bool hideHierarchy = false;    [MenuItem("Example/GameObject Flags")]    static void Init()    {        // Get existing open window or if none, make a new one:        CreateGOHideFlagsExample window = (CreateGOHideFlagsExample)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(CreateGOHideFlagsExample));        window.Show();    }    void OnGUI()    {        create = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Create a GO:", create);        GUI.enabled = create;        objName = EditorGUILayout.TextField("GameObject Name:", objName);        if (GUILayout.Button("Create"))        {            GameObject created = EditorUtility.CreateGameObjectWithHideFlags(objName,                hideHierarchy ? HideFlags.HideInHierarchy : 0);            instanceID = created.GetInstanceID();            Debug.Log("Created GameObject ID: " + instanceID);        }        GUI.enabled = !create;        EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();        instanceID = EditorGUILayout.IntField("Instance ID:", instanceID);        if (GUILayout.Button("Search & Update flags"))        {            go = null;            go = EditorUtility.InstanceIDToObject(instanceID) as GameObject;            if (go)                go.hideFlags = hideHierarchy ? HideFlags.HideInHierarchy : 0;        }        EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();        if (!go)            EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Object: ", (go == null) ?
