Stop printing strings!Debugging tips for beginners
Unity & Unreal.
Code something, test it, it doesn’t work.Go back to the code and add a print string on a value, compile, run the code.Go back to your code, print 3 more strings on 3 more variables, find out that none of those are causing your issue.Give up and find another way to code it.
If this sounds like your workflow, swing by and we’ll cover more efficient methods of debugging your code in both Unity and Unreal workflows.
** Some familiarity with programming in Unity or Unreal is anticipated.
