# 05 Debug

Visualize OWP queries at runtime.

| Node                   | What it does                                                              |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draw Debug Path**    | Render a Path Result as colored lines. Useful to confirm what A\* picked. |
| **Draw Debug Network** | Render the entire network with debug lines.                               |
| **Debug Trace Route**  | Detailed trace: logs every cost decision A\* makes + draws the result.    |

## Inputs

| Common parameter | Meaning                                       |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Color**        | Color of the debug lines.                     |
| **Duration**     | How long the lines stay visible (in seconds). |

## Examples

| Want                                              | Setup                                                                      |
| ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Confirm an AI's chosen route looks right          | After Find Path, call **Draw Debug Path** with bright yellow, duration 5s. |
| Visualize the whole network in-game (debug build) | **Draw Debug Network** on a debug-key press.                               |
| Figure out why A\* chose a weird route            | **Debug Trace Route** prints every cost decision to the log.               |

## Tips

* These are **runtime** debug calls. The editor's Pathfind tool gives the same kind of preview interactively.
* Don't call from Tick — call once when you want to see something, with a duration of a few seconds.
* **Debug Trace Route** is verbose. Use it sparingly when actively debugging.
