Spawning Objects Into Unity Without The Clutter

When you instantiate a game object into a scene within unity it will appear as a new object within the hierarchy. This can prove to be annoying as new objects continue to spawn and clutter up the window…

So what should I do?

It’s easy! The simplest way to go about correcting this is to create an empty game object in the hierarchy and use it as a storage container from which to assign all newly instantiated objects as children. The code below shows how to implement this.

[NOTE]

You will need to drag and drop the prefab you are wanting to spawn into the game object reference “_enemy” within the hierarchy. The empty game object that will be used as a storage container will need to be referenced as well. Drag and drop that object into the game object reference _enemyContainer within the hierarchy.
