Fast Debug Interface for Godot4+

A feature-rich yet simple debug UI that is fast to set up in your project. Only one GDScript and one Scene file that you must include in your project. Access globally with autoload or locally with instantiation, as you prefer. FastDI strifes to be that simple solution to improve your quality-of-life when debugging.

Demo

A demo scene is included with a player controller. All calls to the FastDI autoload are made from scn_test.gd.

Features

The debug interface supports all of the following features:

• Camera Swapping with cameras in group game_camera and shortcut CTRL-C.
• Flag Setting/Getting with GetFlag and SetFlag.
• True Editor Console (works with print() statements).
• Time Plotter with colors and multiple graphs per plot using the SetPlotSample function.
• Value Sliders for float values using the SetValue, GetValue and SetValueRange functions.
• Pause Menu + Exit Game Button

Everything is centered on the two files fastDI.gd and fastDI.tscn. The full documentation is present in the GDscript file. You can disable features by not using the associated API functions. The UI can be tailored to your liking in the scene file scn_test.tscn.

Installation

To install, simply download the two files

• fastDI.gd
• fastDI.tscn

and put them anywhere in your project. Then either add the fastDI.tscn as an autoload for global access, or place it locally in the scene where you want to use the UI, but you will have to link signals manually.
