| # Working with debug messages |
|
|
| You can use debug nodes to see the result of a code segment inside the Unity console. For example, attaching a Debug node to a Variable node outputs the value of the variable. |
|
|
| > [!TIP] |
| > Debugs are a useful tool when prototyping. |
|
|
| ## To create a debug message |
|
|
| > [!IMPORTANT] |
| > Remove or disconnect the debugs from the graphs before producing the final executable. |
|
|
| 1. Add a Script Machine component to the GameObject. |
| 2. Select **Edit Graph**. |
| 3. Do one of the following: |
| - Use the starting events that are created with the script machine. |
| - Add an event node to the graph. |
| 4. Drag and release from the node port.</br> |
| The fuzzy finder appears. |
| 5. In the finder field, enter “Log”.</br> |
| A list of Debug nodes appears. |
| 6. Select the relevant debug message type you want to use (for example **Log(Message)**, **Log Error(Message)** or **Log Warning(Message)**).</br> |
| The select Debug node is placed in the graph and linked to the event. |
| 7. Drag and release from the Debug green (output) port.</br> |
| The fuzzy finder appears. |
| 8. In the list, select the String node.</br> |
| A String node appears on the graph, connected to the Debug node.v |
| Enter the debug message in the string node**.** |
|
|
| > [!TIP] |
| > You can link variables or GameObjects other than a string to the port to see the value in the console. |
|
|
| Whenever the graph is run and the Event is fired, the debug node executes and the text in the String appears in the console. |
|
|
| > [!NOTE] |
| > The debug bar indicates the number of messages of each debug type (in the following order Message, Error, Warning). |
