Animation Editor: Live Debug Tutorial – Arma Reforger

Revision as of 11:03, 16 March 2023

Live animation debugging can be useful to observe and record in-game animation evaluation.

Here is how to use it in few steps:

Start the scenario in World Editor or in the game itself.
- MpTest world is a good candidate for isolated tests
Open the Animation Editor and load animation workspace you would like to debug.
- If you are trying to debug some weapon, make sure that it is present in the world
In Live Debug, press Fetch. This will list all available instances and then you can Attach to one of the returned.
The editor should now record whatever happens to animation in-game. You can pause and rewind, check the set variables, commands and returned events and tags.

The animation debugging can be disabled. You can jumpstart it in Diag Menu (win+alt) under Animation > Start Debugger. Triggering the variable starts the debugger and the variable returns to false.
Game is not updating when alt-tabbed to editor. This way it cannot submit any reports to the editor. Make sure that the game runs with forced updates on.
