name: uloop-find-game-objects description: "Find or inspect Unity GameObjects, especially objects the user currently selected in the Hierarchy. Use for details, components, tags, layers, or name/path searches."

uloop find-game-objects

Find GameObjects with search criteria or get details for currently selected Hierarchy objects.

Use this before execute-dynamic-code when identifying or inspecting selected GameObjects. Use get-hierarchy instead when you need the child tree, parent-child structure, or descendants under the selection.

Usage

uloop find-game-objects [options]

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`--name-pattern`	string	-	Name pattern to search
`--search-mode`	string	`Exact`	Search mode: `Exact`, `Path`, `Regex`, `Contains`, `Selected`
`--required-components`	array	-	Required components
`--tag`	string	-	Tag filter
`--layer`	integer	-	Layer filter (layer number)
`--max-results`	integer	`20`	Maximum number of results
`--include-inactive`	boolean	`false`	Include inactive GameObjects
`--include-inherited-properties`	boolean	`false`	Include inherited properties in results

Search Modes

Mode	Description
`Exact`	Exact name match (default)
`Path`	Hierarchy path search (e.g., `Canvas/Button`)
`Regex`	Regular expression pattern
`Contains`	Partial name match
`Selected`	Get currently selected GameObjects in Unity Editor

Global Options

Option	Description
`--project-path <path>`	Optional. Use only when the target Unity project is not the current directory.

Examples

# Find by name
uloop find-game-objects --name-pattern "Player"

# Find with component
uloop find-game-objects --required-components Rigidbody

# Find by tag
uloop find-game-objects --tag "Enemy"

# Regex search
uloop find-game-objects --name-pattern "UI_.*" --search-mode Regex

# Get selected GameObjects
uloop find-game-objects --search-mode Selected

# Get selected including inactive
uloop find-game-objects --search-mode Selected --include-inactive

Output

Returns JSON with:

results (array): Matching GameObjects, each containing:
- name (string): GameObject name
- path (string): Hierarchy path (e.g., Canvas/Panel/Button)
- isActive (boolean): Active state in hierarchy
- tag (string): GameObject tag
- layer (number): Layer index
- components (array): Each entry has type (short name, e.g., Rigidbody), fullTypeName (e.g., UnityEngine.Rigidbody), and properties (array of Inspector-visible {name, type, value} pairs)
totalFound (number): Number of results returned inline, or number exported for multi-selection file output. For search modes, this is after --max-results clipping and serialization.
errorMessage (string): Top-level failure summary (empty on success)
processingErrors (array): Selected-mode per-GameObject serialization failures, each {gameObjectName, gameObjectPath, error}. Omitted/null or empty on clean runs.

Multi-selection file export

For Selected mode with multiple successfully serialized GameObjects, inline results is not populated and the data is written to a file instead. Two extra fields appear:

resultsFilePath (string): Relative path under .uloop/outputs/FindGameObjectsResults/
message (string): Human-readable summary (e.g., "5 GameObjects exported")

Single-selection and search-mode calls (Exact, Path, Regex, Contains) always return inline. No selection (Selected mode with empty selection) returns empty results plus a message.
