Check variables in play mode?

[annathehank]

Hi again!

Is there a way to check the values of variables/actor fields easily while in play mode? I thought maybe opening the dialogue manager the value listed would reflect changes made while playing but it doesn't, so I was just curious if there was an easy way to check?

Hi,

There are two easy ways:

1. In play mode, the Dialogue Editor window's Templates page becomes a Watches page. Go to the Watches page and select Menu > Add All Runtime Variables. You can set the Watches to auto-refresh their displayed values at a specified frequency.

2. Or use the Variable Viewer window. (Menu item Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Tools > Variable Viewer)

In builds, you can use a Lua Console.
