Are those hard to track transform changes an issue to you at all?

  1. Yes - and I can see how the tool like that would help

    I wonder if you also run into a frustrating issue where transform misbehaves (say moving/rotating not in the way it should) - just to spend much more time on it than you thought it'd take?

    I've been toying with the idea of creating a visual transform debugger tool that can show me:
    - all transform changes (position/rotation/scale) to specific objects on a frame-by-frame basis
    - calling instance object and script as well as calling method
    - preview historical frame changes to help isolate an exact frame, script and calling instance where issue occurs

    And allow me to somehow affect execution at runtime (without recompiling) so I can quickly see if skipping specific changes is helping.

    Managed to put it into a POC and now I'm looking to get some feedback on it, if you have 4 minutes spare can you please have a look at the video?

    I'm very keen to understand if:
    - It's an issue for you as well?
    - If so do you think an approach from the video would help?

    Thanks!
