Variables List

Use the list to organize variables:

• Drag to re-order items.
• Right click an item to add a comment or group.
• Use search to find variables.

A variable in the list shows:

#	Description
	Type icon
	Variable name
	Current value
	Enable watch to debug variable values.
	Used count. Click to open a finder window.

Watch variables:

• In the Graph View using the Debug Toolbar
• In the Game View using the Debug FSM component.

Variable Editor

Select a variable in the list to edit:

Field	Description
Name	A name that describes what the variable is used for. Good names make it easier to understand your FSMs later!
Type	The type of data the variable contains.
Value	The default value. While playing this shows the current value.
Description	A short description of how to use the variable. Used in tooltips.
Save Mode	Uses the Save System to save/load variables.
Inspector	Toggle Input and Output flags.

Exposing Inputs and Outputs

Select the variable to edit and find the Inspector settings:

Inputs and Outputs are shown in the FSM Component, FSM Template Component, and in any action that runs FSM Templates, for example, the Run Template Action.

Use the FSM Node Inspector to control how the inputs/outputs appear in other inspectors. You can re-order them, add comments, groups, etc.

Shortcuts

Double-click a variable in the list to edit and focus the name field.
