Hidden Footprints

Hidden Footprints is an editor extension that enables you to easily add hidden footprints in your game that can only be seen through the magnifying glass. This is great for creating scavenger hunts or guiding users where to go in VR and FPS games.

The user can select from 4 different predefined footprints or supply their own. An editor tool is provided for creating paths between which triggerable colliders are placed. Footprints are drawn when the player enters an area with the collider. The user can specify to draw the footprints only in sequential order or whenever any collider is entered. There is also control over how many sets of footprints are drawn at once before deleting old sets.

Debug tools are provided for visualizing how the footprints are placed.

Unlimited sets of distinct footprint paths can be created with negligible performance impact since only footprints within the area triggered by the user are drawn.
