SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly access information about the current selection in the Unity Editor, such as active objects, transforms, GameObjects, and asset GUIDs, enhancing the development process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unity Editor Selection Insights: Retrieve details about the active object, active transform, and selected GameObjects, including their instance IDs and asset GUIDs.
  • Opt-in Data Extraction: Allows the selection of which data types to include (GameObjects, Transforms, InstanceIDs, AssetGUIDs) to keep the response size small.
  • Integration with 'editor-selection-set': Can be used alongside 'editor-selection-set' to modify the Unity Editor's selection dynamically.

Quick Start

Retrieve information about the active selection in Unity by running: unity-mcp-cli run-tool editor-selection-get --input '{"includeGameObjects": false, "includeTransforms": false, "includeInstanceIDs": false, "includeAssetGUIDs": false, "includeActiveObject": false, "includeActiveTransform": false}'
