Unity step button

Honestly, what does the step button on Unity’s toolbar actually do? It only pauses the game if I press it and doesn’t seem to switch levels which was my bet :slight_smile:

It progresses your game execution one frame at a time. Very useful if you want to micromanage/review a transition or special effect.

That is truly a useful feature, should have known that earlier.

For all these years… I’ve ignored that button…

Now I know…

This. it’s actually very useful.

Does this button actually steps 1 frame? I use Unity 4.6.0 on Mac. In situation that I currently debugging, when I press “Step” I see that Game View redrawn twice.
Also, if I record Unity window with Quicktime (at 60 fps), I can see on the video that Unity’s game view changes almost each frame.
How that can be?
Thank you.
