Debug UI

Debug UI is a set of tools for live debugging. There are two interfaces for Debug UI: available by pressing F5 or F2 in the Viewport. Most of the functionality available in the F5 Debug UI can be used both in the Editor and in the Game mode, and the functionality available in the F2 Debug UI can only be used in the Game mode.

To close the Debug UI press F5/F2 again.

F5

One of the Debug UIs is available by pressing F5 in the Viewport:

Pressing F5 also stops the game from tracking your mouse cursor which might be useful for some of the F2 Debug UI functionality.

Some debug systems are not described as they are highly specialized.

	Render > Weather Manager	Manage the weather. To change the weather click the checkbox to the left of Force weather preset and select the preset. While in the Game mode, you can also use Left Ctrl+Left Alt+W to switch to the next weather preset.
