Thank you! I use the debugger all the time but I never really sat down to learn what every button does, so I learned a bunch of useful stuff!

[@gdomjan83]

Thank you very much. I've been using the basic functions of the debugger for a long time but I never took the time to learn most of its functions. This tutorial will speed up my debugging a lot.

[@misterr3083]

This is amazing, thanks so much Matharoo!

[@northoltappsltd8680]

Really useful, thanks! Like others commenting here I have been using the debugging features in a limited way, this will help enormously

[@wavelength3856]

Fantastic overview of the debugger! Really liked the examples; thanks for sharing this great info.

[@willm127]

Very cool! Didn't know about clicking an instance to reveal more about it :o Keep it up!

[@Limekys]

The same, i know about all features of debugging, but about clicking on object not!

[@GameMakerStation]

Fun fact, I didn't know either! Found out while researching for this video.

[@funnygames93]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@WangleLine]

Hell yeah, thank you for this!!

[@GrrrVahrrr]

Hello friend, thank you very much for the video. I'm managing to capture more information from the instances. I'm a beginner and I'm programming using DnD. So far it's working but... I have a problem that I've lost days trying to solve: when an Effect Layer is activated using Filters and Effects, in object movements, they are shaking. A certain "tearing" is happening in the object. Motion is not fluid (even if the effect layer is behind or in front of the moving object) Doing the checks you indicated in the video, on average the game's fps is at 1500 and the memory at 17mb. Do you have any idea what it could be?

hello matharoo I bought your crafting course and I can't fix the freeze. could you help me?? The debugger signals the error in objetcs \ oEnemyParent \ Step_1.gml

[@GameMakerStation]

Hi Sabrina, could you please create a thread on the Q&A section of Udemy? Paste that event's code there and also upload your project if possible (go to File -> Export Project, upload the .yyz file you get to some host (such as Google Drive, Dropbox) and link it there). Cheers

I have used the debugger several times, to the point where I have had to delete line after line of code because the tutorial doesn't seem to match up correctly with the current version of gamemaaker. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RUN THE GAME EVEN ONCE. I had such an absolutely awful time on Gamemaker, I can't get any code to work on Gamemaker 2. :(

Any good way to catch memory leaks using the debugger?

[@GameMakerStation]

Keep looking at the graph. Execute whatever you think is causing your memory leaks and see how the memory usage goes up. Disable that line of code that you believe is the culprit, and repeat the same procedure and see if the memory goes up now. At least that's how I do it. You can also use the Watch section to check if any "lost" indices still hold a data structure (if it's related to that). If you need more help I suggest you join the Discord server linked in the description.

MAKE_GAME(); NO

[@Evanski]

Make game(); No = true;

[@GameMakerStation]

It no make game???

[@ignaciosb8779]

Interesting code. It returned philosophical thoughts in my head.

[@ignaciosb8779]

Thanks man. As I said sometimes you raise my interest in things I wasn't before. I rarely rarely use the debuger, I use my own one but until now I didn't know about profiling, other & graphic(for textures & surfaces) and that's exactly what I need right now to analize how to improve performance in a mobile game.

[@GameMakerStation]

Good luck! Optimizing mobile games is always a tough one.
