[SOLVED] Viewing Vars as Text Fields Question
« on: July 25, 2013, 03:16:04 PM »
Hi there,

I'm doing some work with bools and am not sure that the values are updating.  i was wondering what the most straightforward way would be to quickly have a text field that would update in real-time so I can see those values change.

doesn't have to be pretty or anything.. just an efficient / simple way to throw information on the screen to validate that data is changing when events happen. 

I've been trying things and nothing seems to be working. 

Thanks!
Caleb

Hi,

 simply user Unity gui system. in playmaker, you have actions such as GuiLayoutLabel. Make sure you have a "PlayMakerGUI", else you wont see anything on screen ( you can add this gameObject using ht eplaymaker menu "PlayMaker/Components/Add PlayMakerGUI to Scene"

bye,

 Jean

Hi Jean,

Thank you for adding that additional touch because I had noticed that a new project doesn't have a PMGUI at the start.. I will definitely test that out!  :) 

Sincerely,
Caleb
