Debugging Guide

When using GMS, you have several ways to troubleshoot issues you encounter.

Component Details Panel

The simplest method is to find your character while the game is running. In the details panel, locate the character's movement system component and observe the details panel.

Check Movement Settings Status:
You can see the current settings applied in the movement system component. Use this information to verify whether the current settings have switched to your desired configurations.

Check Control System States:
You can view all current states of the character's movement control states under the State category.

Main Animation Blueprint States:
You can also view the states of Main Anim Instance.

Check Animation Layer States:
Expand AnimLayers to see the settings and states of all anim layers currently used by the character. This information helps verify whether the corresponding settings are correctly applied.

RewindDebugger

This is the official animation debugging tool, which you can access through Tools -> Debug -> RewindDebugger to open the debugging panel.

Make sure the game is running, then select the character you want to debug in the debugging panel.

Click the red button to start recording; it will display and log all animation-related information about the character.

After clicking the red button again to stop recording, you can pause the game and replay the recorded results to troubleshoot related issues.
