/// Gameobject selector window
/// -----------------------------
/// Make sure to place this script in the Editor folder. To open the window click 'MyTools/GameobjectSelector'.
/// This window lets you assign a gameobject to the ObjectToSelect field. Once a gameobject is assigned, if the gameobject
/// has any child gameobjects, four buttons will show up, giving you the following options. 
/// 1.Select Parent gameobject
/// 2.Select First child gameobject
/// 3.Select Last child gameobject
/// 4.Select all child gameobjects
/// This is useful in situations where there are many child gameobjects and you don't wanna have to scroll through the hierarchy
/// every time you wanna select the first, last or all child gameobject.
/// Hope this helps.
