About

DAI Debugger is a very flexible tool that allows you to extend it with a custom modules with easy integration with the environment.

You may find this useful in case if your AI implementation demands specific custom extensions, has a complex structure that demands extra control, or you just simply need to get extra features or data both on development and runtime stages.

Development

DAI Debugger automatically integrates an instance of any non-abstract class derived from the Doloro.AI.DAIDebugger.ADebugTool found among loaded assemblies.

  1. (Optional) Create a new folder and add a new Assembly Definition* asset inside the folder to make the tool distributive in future.
  2. Create new class object.
  3. Inherit Doloro.AI.DAIDebugger.ADebugTool for the class.
  4. After assembly reload your tool draft becomes available in DAI Debugger tool automatically.

*Right mouse button click in Project window. Then select Create\Assembly Definition.

Callbacks

Handler Purpose
