Hub

Tools > Starhelm > Hub (Ctrl+Shift+H) is the entry point. It checks the open scene — executor, actors, world query, movement, dialogue, gizmos, authored actions — shows what is missing and fixes each with one button. It also launches every other window and the setup commands, so nothing has to be hunted through menus.

All Starhelm tools live under the Tools > Starhelm menu in the Unity Editor.

Window	What it does
Action Framework	Author actions: sectioned inspector, live validation, in-game dispatch
Behavior Graph	Visual behavior tree; rename nodes, click-to-link, edges represent logic
Action Graph	Node view of a single action's pipeline
Dialogue	Cues, timing, speaker filters, per-character profiles, live testing
Debugger	Play-mode decision timelines, with pause, timescale control and order cancellation
Setup	Data folders, demo actions, demo dialogue, and the playable scene generator

Action Framework

Each action (for example attack.target) is shown as a sectioned inspector covering targeting, conditions, costs (stamina, time, resource) and effects. Every section supports adding or removing entries inline, with live validation.

Action Graph

A one-click "Graph" view of an ActionDefinition's pipeline, showing Target, Conditions, Costs and Effects wired exactly as they execute. Useful for sanity-checking a complex action at a glance.

Behavior Graph

A fully visual behavior tree editor supporting Sequence, Selector, Action, Condition and Wait nodes. Nodes are freely renameable, and connections are created by click-to-link.

Debugger

Available in Play mode, it shows a live per-actor decision timeline explaining why the AI is acting, blocked, or waiting, with playback controls (pause, slow-mo, fast-forward) and the ability to cancel orders directly.

Setup

Creates the Assets/Starhelm Data folder structure, and can generate demo actions, demo dialogue and a full playable template scene in one click.
