Usage On Device

Currently, LiveWatch is limited to use within UnityEditor. However, you can record data in a build, save it as a binary file, and then open it later in UnityEditor for review. To enable this, WatchSaveCanvas prefab is available in the root folder of the tool, providing the necessary setup for data exporting. If it doesn’t suit your project’s needs, feel free to create a custom implementation.

Steps to Use LiveWatch in a Build:

1. Add the WatchSaveCanvas Prefab

Add WatchSaveCanvas to your scene. By default, it can be accessed through a transparent OpenButton in the top left corner of the screen. Adjust this as needed or implement a custom access point. Just make sure to call WatchServices.SaveLoader.Save when saving data.

2. Add the LIVE_WATCH_BUILD Define

In your project settings, add the LIVE_WATCH_BUILD define.

3. Make a Development Build

Create a development build of your project.

4. Launch and Save

Run the build and create a save. If using the default logic, click the top left corner, modify the file name if needed, and click save. The save path will display upon completion, defaulting to the Application.persistentDataPath folder.

5. Transfer and Load in Unity

Locate the .watch file, transfer it to your PC, and open it in the Unity editor by clicking Load.
