The Debug Central (AC_DebugCentral) component is a powerful debugging utility designed to monitor, log, and display real-time information about all key components of the framework. It collects data from every major component and feeds it into the W_DebugWindow widget, which handles parsing and formatting the data for display in the UI.
It is added to the Character class by default (B_Soulslike_Character).
How It Works
Initialization & Component Collection
Allows a generous time for all components to be initialized before initializing itself.
Collects references to all relevant gameplay components, ensuring the debug panel has access to the latest state of the game.
Debug Toggle & Tick Event Handling
On Begin Play, the system checks if debugging is enabled (EnableDebugging flag) and accordingly activates/deactivates ticking and updates data at a regular interval.
Parsing & Formatting Debug Data
The UpdateComponentData() method inside W_DebugWindow is responsible for querying each component and converting its data into a structured log entry.
Uses a Gameplay Tag Switch to determine which component’s data is currently needed.
Parses relevant properties into a readable string for display.
