The debug overlay¶

The debug overlay is a new feature that allows you to do better debugging. Enable it by setting self.debugoverlay to true in htme_config.

F12: Toggle overlay¶

F12 will show and hide the overlay when it’s enabled.

Shows a list of all instances and the variable groups for local instances.

For the first 10 instances in the list, press SHIFT + the shown number to access instance details.

Variable	Descripti on
Hash	The id of the instance as stored by the engine
isVisible	Whether or not this is a visible instance
isNotCach ed	True if this instance is in the same room (server only; clients will only show instances in the same room)
Persisten t	See Instance scrope and rooms
stayAlive	See Instance scrope and rooms
Instance ID	The local id of the instance, assgined by GameMaker . If cached the instance will not actually exist, and therefor the instance will have no id
Object	Name of the object of this instance
Player	Number and hash of the player this instance belongs to
Saved variables	All variables as synced by the engine
Vargroups	Details of all `variable groups <c oncepts/v argroups> `__

Same as F1 but filters by showing only visible instances

Shows a list of all players, including their player number and their hash. Also shows who is the local player and who runs the server.

Press SHIFT + number shown to show all instances of one player. If you are the server, press STRG + number to kick a player.

Same as F1 but filters by showing only invisible instances

Same as F1 but showing only cached instances (instances in same room; This list is always empty for clients).

Shows all variables in the global sync pool.

Lists all CHAT Interface channels and how many messages haven’t been processed (read) and what the content of the most recent unread message is.

Shows details about all signed packets that are not yet recieved by the clients/server.

Shows details about all signed packets that have been sent to the clients/server.

Shows a count of all ds_lists and ds_maps. If the numbers just increase it may be a memory leak somewhere.

Disconnect from the server. This will tell the server to kick us and then kill the engine.

htme_debugOverlayEnabled will return true when the overlay is enabled. Use this to draw your own debug stuff when the overlay is active.
