The Tip: Locating specific code bottlenecks in Unity’s Profiler can be tricky when logic is grouped inside standard engine blocks.

How to Use: Wrap suspicious logic in Profiler.BeginSample("Sample Name") and Profiler.EndSample(). Your custom sample will appear directly within the Profiler hierarchy view.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Profiling;

public class CustomProfilerMarker : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Update()
    {
        Profiler.BeginSample("Custom Pathfinding Search");
        // Pathfinding calculation logic
        Profiler.EndSample();
    }
}
