• For commands that interact with GameObjects in the Hierarchy window, make sure to select the correct GameObjectThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info
  See in Glossary in the Hierarchy window before executing the command, or the command might work at the sceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info
  See in Glossary level. For example, if you execute Create Empty Child while your focus is in the Project window, the Unity Editor creates the GameObject at the scene level rather than as a child of a GameObject.
