Debugging

The Debug tab connects to your running game and lights up the graph as it executes.

The Debug tab listing live instances grouped by script, with the canvas already lit up behind it.

Before you start

Enable debug compilation

Live tracing only works when Debug Compilation is on in Settings and you’ve recompiled afterwards. Only scripts compiled with it carry the marker the debugger needs.

Watching an instance

1. Play the scene.
2. Open the Debug tab and press Refresh (the list populates after the scene loads).
3. Live node instances appear grouped by script. Select an instance to make it the debug focus.

Picking a live instance, and the running state lighting up on the canvas as the game plays.

With an instance selected, Hengo shows in real time:

• the active state glowing green on the canvas,
• the card being executed lighting up in its chain,
• transitions flashing as they fire.

Because focus is per-script, every open machine can highlight at once.

Note

Empty list? The panel hints “No live instances. Press Play and use Refresh after the scene loads.” If debug compilation is off, it tells you to enable it and recompile instead.
