PolySpatial Tooling

Logging

PolySpatial logging messages are tagged by category and level to facilitate more targeted debugging. From the main menu of the Unity Editor, select Window > PolySpatial > Logging to open the PolySpatial Logging window. From here, you can toggle which categories are enabled, whether they should generate stack traces, and for categories for which stack traces are enabled, what levels will generate the traces.

PolySpatial Statistics

First, enable PolySpatial statistics tracking by enabling Project Settings > PolySpatial > Enable Statistics. The editor can then be found in Unity Editor main menu under Window > PolySpatial > PolySpatial Statistics. In Play Mode, this editor dispays histogram tracking for timing, tracked objects, and assets that have been replicated to the PolySpatial host.

Debug Links

To facilitate debugging in Play Mode, the PolySpatial runtime adds DebugPolySpatialGameObjectLinks components to connect each simulation GameObject to its corresponding backing GameObject in the Unity SceneGraph.

Asset Finder

In Play Mode, the AssetFinder tracks all assets that have been replicated over to the host renderer. This can be useful for tracking down asset links. This editor can be found in the Unity Editor main menu under PolySpatial > Asset Finder.

Recording & Playback

To record a PolySpatial Play mode session, go to Windows > PolySpatial > Recording and Playback. Press Record to enter Play mode and start recording. Perform interactions and supply input normally, then exit play mode to stop recording. A new file will be added to the list; you can replay this recording by selecting it and then pressing the Play button. New input won't be processed, but the input encoded in the original recording will replay.

Recordings are saved in Library/PolySpatialRecordings and should be playable on any machine using the same version of the PolySpatial package. Among other things, theses files can be submitted to Unity support allowing us to debug many project-specific issues without needing a full zip of your project.
