*With Unity Entities 1.0 dropping at the end of 2022 this package has become mostly redundant.*  
*It has served its purpose since 2019, but I won't be updating this package anymore.*  
*I'm leaving it online anyway since the implementation can still be useful for users using older versions of the entities package or as a reference for GPU Picking during gameplay.*

A small package that enables you to select entities in the unity sceneview.  
It works both in play mode & edit mode.

## How to select
0. (Optional: Enable DOTS>LivelinkMode>LiveConversionInEditMode to have all entities in edit mode.)
1. Make sure your focus is on the sceneview (not gameview)
2. Point to the entity with mouse pointer
3. Press the '1' key (Non Numpad)  
=> Inspector window should show all info for entity.

## How to get this package for your own project

## Contribution
BugFixes and UX improvements are appreciated.
Performance Improvements are welcome, since I'm not prioritizing those.
No setup should ever be needed.

Thanks to [Tom](https://github.com/Moosichu) for making this repo a package.

## 2019.2 branch
If you want a 2019.2 (And probably 2019.1) compatible version, use the 2019.2 branch.
