AssignmentSelector Class

public abstract class AssignmentSelector : ScriptableObject

A Scriptable Object class you can derive from to create custom logic for choosing what objects are selected for assignment operations.

The selection process works like so:

When an Assignment Parent is provided, the World Designer conducts a top down search of the hierarchy of each first level child of the parent. For each child, the child's Transform component is passed to the IsMatch method. If the method returns a value of true, the search stops for that specific child's hierarchy and the next sibling is searched. If it returns false, the search continues drilling down into that child's hierarchy until a match is found or no more children exist. After drilling all the way down or finding a match, the search moves back up one level and searches all siblings of the last parent transform that was searched. This strategy ensures that descendants of a selected object cannot also be selected, which would be problematic if allowed.

When no Assignment Parent is provided, the top down search begins with all root level game objects in all loaded scenes and searches each of their hierarchies. Since this could potentially be a TON of objects, care should be taken when using this option. We recommend starting with an Assignment Parent and proceeding with no Assignment Parent only if the operation with the Assignment Parent did not encounter any problems.
