Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. Such use-after-free access needs to be guarded with is_instance_valid(obj) , but this has been surprisingly difficult to get right due to a number of bugs and inconsistencies between debug and release builds.

Entity View A very simple way to get an associated Entity for any given GameObject is to create a Component to hold that data. As a side benefit, you can look at the script in the inspector and see the Entity’s id which may be useful for a variety of debugging purposes. So far my characters are about a unit wide.

The game calls that callable at each profiler tick (performance profiler's tick in this case) and sends the returned data to the editor together with the data of predefined monitors. Godot can debug multiple instances of the game concurrently so we need multiple instances of the profiler.
