Debug Settings

Rules: Logger

Rules communicate with object logic, so you'll need to play through your Experience and trigger the objects that you wish to communicate with Rules you are debugging and gather data in the Logger. First, however, you'll need to enable specific Rules or Rulesets for debugging.

1. Open the Rules Hierarchy dropdown in the bottom right of the Game Rules window.

2. Click on the bug icon next to any Rule or Ruleset to activate it for debugging.
3. Close the Game Rules window and click the Debug button on the Top Bar and click Logger (keep it open).

4. Press TAB to play through the logic you want to test in your Experience.

5. Press TAB again to return to the Editor. The logger will now include a list of messages sent and Rules triggered so you can see where there's a break in the communications and make a correction.
