Flocode V6 view the value of variables.

Post by nicmaes »

hi,
I recently started using flocode 6, it is already and agreeable experience.
There's something in flow code 3 was easily visible, but in version 6 ... I have not found it yet.

If you simulates flow code 3 with F8, you got a list of variables.
This came on the screen automatically.
This is also possible in V6?
thanks for the effort.

With Flowcode V4+ you have to manually add the variables to watch to the watch window.
With V6 just press F8 key then the Simulation Debugger will appear.
Select the drop down arrow:
add variable watch.png

Just add the variables you wish to watch (Hold Ctrl or use shift key to select multiple variable values.
To view the variable values while simulator is running, you will either keep pressing F8 to single step, or select a slower simulation speed.

Thanks for the quick response.
When I simulate the 'simulation debugger' does not appear.
I cant find this in the menu bar. Do you have any idea where I can find this?

I tried something simple, flashing lights.
Simulating succeed, but I can not see the contents of the variablelen.
The "Icon Lists" appears, but no 'simulation debugger.

I use 'parallels', maby this is the problem?

Thanks for the help.
greetings
Nico

Hi Nico,
With simulator paused can you see the wording Simulation debugger mixed with another window for example:

Hi,
You must click near the Expression, and then click at the threeangle Symbol then a context menu is show "Add variable"
then you can "add the variables which you declared" for your project yet. ( it is not for making new variable - this is only "Simulation Debugger" -- so your Variable must exist.

:-)
Best wishes
Rudi

hi, Thanks for the solutions. On my laptop with Windows 8, everything works as it should.
So I know what the functions are. Only on my imac, it gives problems.
Maybe it's because I work virtually under windows with parallels?
After I closed everything again, parallels updated, the simulation debugger is back.
Hopefully it stays that way.
greetings Nico
