Animation Editor: Live Debug Tutorial – Arma Reforger

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 game mode or in the game itself.
• Open the Animation Editor and load animation workspace you would like to debug.
• 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.

Troubleshooting

• The animation debugging can be disabled. You can jumpstart it in developer 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.
