What if there was a way to link debug log outputs and game objects in the scene?

Often I use debug logs to work out problems in my code then end up adding debug scene objects to aid in the process.

What If I could link a game object to a debug line (the same way code errors link to scripts but within the editor scene view) this could speed up the debug process.

 

If you add a GameObject reference as a second parameter to Debug.Log, Unity will take you to that GameObject in the hierarchy. Like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.Log("message", myGameObject);

So I think what you're asking about exists already?

 

Saved my day, btw wont work if you link a component, so we should not forget to access the game object through myComponent.gameObject
