PACKAGE INSPECTOR
PACKAGE INSPECTOR
Package Inspector is built by developer for developers.
Sometimes you need a bit more freedom to understand:
- what is happening and why
- where this data is stored
- the hierarchy of a custom asset
In addition, there may be a need to modify certain properties via the reflection
system without opening the asset, or to create and add extra objects to a loaded
memory package, even if it is transient.
All of this - and more - becomes easier with this tool.
1. Package block – generates a tree of already loaded packages.
2. Object block – helps you analyze the hierarchy of objects inside the selected package (outer inheritance).
3. Detail block – allows you to modify properties of the selected object stored in the reflection system.
4. MetaData block – lets you check, remove, modify, or add metadata of the selected object in its outermost package.
5. Context menu – helps you copy the path or memory address of an object, create new subobjects, rename, or even destroy objects!
! Be sure to use a version control system in your project when using Package Inspector !
Commit your changes before experimenting with package modifications so you can easily roll back if needed.
Package Inspector - is advanced tool for advanced developers. User mistakes when using certain
features of this tool can cause engine crashes, and modifying assets may lead to data loss.
