Enable debug to show values in the flowchart editor

Question

I am starting to learn to use CryEngine V, and have found documentation lacking, in some aspects.

Following the initial game logic tutorials, I observe the instructor selecting "debug" from the menu. The flow chart instantly comes to life, displaying all of the values going in and out of each function.

Unfortunately, when I follow this instruction, nothing happens. Clicking on the "debug" button results in no apparent action. I have looked around for further instructions, but all I can find is the general assumption that it will just work, without any additional action. As you can see from my recording, this assumption is not accurate to my situation.

Without this working, it is rather difficult to even know if I am following the flowchart creation process properly. How do I enable visual debug in the flowchart editor?

Answer 1

While the tutorials describe "running debug" while simply selecting the button, it appears they are taking additional steps off-screen.

Selecting "debug" does not display debug information as is shown in the tutorials. You still must run the game, either directly, or through enabling physics and AI.
