Troubleshooting​

Common Debugging Scenarios:

  1. When tooltips are not displayed
    • Check trigger areas in debug mode
    • Verify registration status in logs
  2. When metadata is not properly transmitted
    • Check raw metadata with debug text
    • Verify key names for typos or omissions
  3. Performance issue analysis
    • Check number of registered triggers
    • Analyze frequent registration/unregistration patterns

Important Notes​

  • Debug mode may impact performance; use only during development
  • Disable debug mode in packaged builds
  • Some settings may require an engine restart
