Debugger

When Arcweave renders an element containing arcscript segments, it runs them in the order they appear. If those segments assign new values to variables, you can inspect the changes using the Play Mode's debugger.

Accessing the debugger

To open the debugger:

  1. Click on an empty area of the Play Mode's browser window.
  2. Click on the Debug icon, at the top navbar.
  3. You can resize the debugger by dragging the left vertical line separating it from the Play Mode current view.

Using the debugger

The debug drawer shows the number, name, type, before and after value of each of the project's variables, tracking any changes in real time. You can change on the fly the before values of the variables to inspect how their after value changes in real-time.

✅ When your game's logic doesn't work as expected, the debugger helps you define and fix bugs by demonstrating irregular behaviours of variables.

Debug info is visible only to the owner and editors of a project. If you can see the other UI elements but not the debug button, make sure that you are either the owner or an editor of the project.

✅ To have an element "revisit" itself in Play Mode you can do it via a connection to a jumper linking to that element.
