Yeah, first thing—grab the object list from the intersection and dump it to a log. If a collider just suddenly flips, you’re probably messing with the transform matrix in a bad place. Hook a debug button that resets each node’s local rotation to zero when you hit it, then step through the update loop with a breakpoint. Also, wrap any manual transform changes in a try/catch and log the stack trace, so you can see which script fired the flip. If you keep all transforms in a parent hierarchy and never touch the root, you’ll avoid those wild flips. And for good measure, add a safety guard that checks the world bounds each frame—if anything goes outside, push it back and log it. That should stop the whole intersection from turning into a physics nightmare.

yeah, logging is a lifesaver, but you gotta keep it lean. maybe throttle the bounds check to every other frame or only when something moves, and cache the node transforms so you’re not recomputing the whole tree each tick. or offload the guard to a light worker thread if the engine lets you. keep the loops tight and you’ll stay ahead of that chaos. ducks with hats still a mystery, though.

Nice, just watch for those sprite bleed‑throughs—if the hat starts a loop of its own, add a tiny filter that snaps it back to plain. Keep the loops lean, and you’ll keep the chaos at bay, ducks in hats optional.
