Unreal Debugging Tools I Wish I knew earlier!

Does Debugging your projects take forever, and some bugs are hard to debug with print strings? Do you end up with a bunch of Print String Statements spamming your HUD and messing up your project?

In this video, we'll be discussing debugging tools in Unreal Engine that I Wish I knew earlier. Tools that will make your debugging life much easier and will save you a lot of time and headaches. We'll explain what these debugging tools are, how to use them, and more importantly, when to use them.

Some of these tools are the Blueprint Debugger, Cheat Manager, Gameplay Debugger, Debug Camera, Rewind Debugger, Widget Reflector, Logging, and of course Print String, and more!

We'll be using the Stack O Bot sample project in 5.3 for demonstration.

You can also use the command BP.BlamePrintString 1 to show the Blueprint Asset and Function that generated calls to Print String. Useful for tracking down screen message spam.

Brilliant, I'm also creating special widgets to debug things, it gets more freedom to make any visuals for debug info

A tutorial on debugging shipping builds would be amazing!

So I forgot that I enabled Pause Anims on my character mesh. I was totally stumped as what was causing no animations in what I though was a specific state machine. Then clued in that NO state machines were animated. Then started thinking about the mesh and looked at the viewport. No animations. Then remembered the setting on Mesh Details. Sheesh. 😅

Very useful thanks.
How do you have the world settings, outliner etc. docked to the side? Is it a Plugin?
