That's a Unity3D editor asset for easy saving multiple positions for an object. Read a longer and more complex version of this document in Docs folder.

When you make a game, it's always necessary to make some tweaks on your levels. Let's move that rock 3 units left and watch how gameplay has changed. Later, after a week of tests, you've decided that it's too bad. So, let's return it back to a previous position.

_...does anybody remember where exactly that rock was?

ShadowTransform is a tool to make process of creation and tweaking your levels more comfortable. It will remember previous positions for any of your objects and let you switch between them in one click.

Also, that's a great tool for gameplay testing, temporary level re-planning or a massive A/B testing.

When ShadowTransform may come in handy many ways, our asset way made with that in mind:

• Play-testing for particular places of the map – just make a state before each of part of the level.

• Saving object's states before changes – make an experiment, then switch to old state, then return to new and compare.

• A/B testing – hold all variants in one scene, and just switch between them.

Installation process is kinda trivial:

If you've got a version of this asset from Unity Store or GitHub, you should import Unity's «Standard Assets» package first! You'll need «Cameras», «Characters», «Effects» and «Particle Systems» parts to make tutorial work. If you don't have one, get it from Asset Store. If you've downloaded a package from https://madnesstudio.ru/ site, it's already inside.

After this (for GitHub version) just place contents of Assets/ShadowTransform folder into your project's folder.

Check Docs folder for a ReadMe file.

ShadowTranform may not work correctly when you try to save state of:

• Object with non-uniform scaling & rotation – Unity hates non-uniform scaling together with rotation. Any object distorts and became an ugly mess. Collider goes insane. So, try not to use it at all, but if you need this badly – just remember, ShadowTransform may not work great with them.
• Very large and very far objects – if you decide to make something at the limit of floating point precision, ShadowTransform may not work properly.

Asset is free for any legal usage, commercial and non-commercial. But, if you like it a lot , please list it somewhere in your game's credits – and mail me. That would be a great news for me! :)
