How To Use
Drag and drop DDT prefab to your scene:
You don’t have to put the prefab in every scene, put it only in you main scene, it will not get destroyed when you switch scenes.
Features
- Offers multiple functions to draw different shapes: line, box, sphere, capsule, arrow, cylinder, camera shape… and many many more
- All Shapes are drawn and visible in scene view, game view and the builds.
- Visualize Raycast Hit infos and other datas are coming soon (Collision infos, Rigidbody forces….)
- Offers an on-screen log message function
- Easy to setup and easy to use
- The package includes many examples that demonstrate how to use it
- It has everything you need to visualize gameplay datas
- Support VR
- Optimized to work without impacting your game performance
- Call draw functions from anywhere in your code
- Works on all platforms
- Support all rendering pipelines: HDRP, URP, SRP
- Dedicated support
Debug Camera
Enabling debug camera let you move around your level freely, it also let you control time scale, you can stop time, slow it down, or speed it up.
To enable debug camera you have to hit F9 in your keyboard, or touch with 4 fingers if you are running your game on android or IOS.
When debug camera is enabled you can aim at an object to display information like it’s name, distance from camera, UVs, list of materials…etc.
Billboard
Overview
Billboard is a plane with texture mapped onto it. You can make it either always face camera or face a fixed direction.
Billboards are useful when you want to associate an icon or an image to an object or a shape while debugging, like in this example:
How To Use
- To use billboard, first you need to create a variable of type DebugBillboard:
public DebugBillboard m_DebugBillboard;
- Add the billboard object to the list, so that DDT draw it:
void Start()
{
DrawDebugTools.AddBillboardToDrawList(m_DebugBillboard);
}
- Select the object with the script and set a texture asset in the inspector:
- Set billboard position:
void Update()
{
// Set billboard position
m_DebugBillboard.Position = transform.position + new Vector3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
}
Billboard Methods
Change the width and height of a billboard:
m_DebugBillboard.Width = 1.0f; m_DebugBillboard.Height = 1.0f;
Change visibility of the billboard:
m_DebugBillboard.IsHidden = false;
Make the billboard always face camera by setting IsBillboard to true:
m_DebugBillboard.IsBillboard = true;
If IsBillboard is set to false, you can set billboard rotation as you like:
m_DebugBillboard.EulerRotation = Vector3.zero;
When you no longer need a billboard, remove it by calling this method:
DrawDebugTools.RemoveBillboardFromList(m_DebugBillboard);
Note: If you know you will remove the billboard at some point, make sure it’s not null before using it in your code.
Agent Path Visualization
Overview
AgentPathVisualizerComp is component that you attach to an AI agent object that allow you to visualize its navigable path:
How To Use
- Select the game object that has the NavMeshAgent component attached to it.
- Add AgentPathVisualizerComp component to the game object:
- When you hit play or launch your game, you will see the path of the NavMesh Agent when it starts to move.
