Methods

SetHideFlags

Sets the visibility flags for a MonoBehaviour's GameObject (hierarchy visibility) and the component itself (Inspector visibility) independently.

public static void SetHideFlags(this MonoBehaviour behaviour, bool hideInHierarchy, bool hideInInspector)

Parameter	Type	Description
behaviour	MonoBehaviour	The target MonoBehaviour
hideInHierarchy	bool	If true, adds HideFlags.HideInHierarchy to the GameObject. If false, removes it.
hideInInspector	bool	If true, adds HideFlags.HideInInspector to the component. If false, removes it.

This method uses bitwise flag operations (|= to add, &= ~ to remove), preserving any other HideFlags already set on the object. It does not reset flags — it only toggles the specific hierarchy and inspector flags.

Hierarchy flag targets the GameObject hideInHierarchy modifies behaviour.gameObject.hideFlags, not the component's flags. This affects the entire GameObject's visibility in the Hierarchy window.
