How to show the debugger?

[Zyloxd]

This is probably a dumb question, but how do I show the debugger? You know, the thing that pops up every time you test your application in the application with the pause/play buttons and showing other things!
I closed it and I forget how to open it again....
It's 3am don't worry......

EDIT: I have tried restarting the application, also in the program properties the "Show Debugger" option is checked, but grayed out.

I think it's disabled when you've selected the profiling option.

Wow. Thank you! Lol I just got 2.5+ yesterday so that must have been why I didn't know why that was the case

btw, Debugger is very useful when values of some of your variables are not seen.

To do it, add your object to debugger.
Debugger -> Add to debugger

Hi All,

I tried to look for an answer in the forum but couldn't find that anyone has asked about this before, and I didn't want to open a new thread for a minor question. I found this short thread though and it might just be the right place to ask:

With my many years of working with the engine I always used counters and texts to debugging my programs, and since I first saw the debugger, it felt intimidating; don't ask me why. Maybe it's just my old habit of using the old ways. Anyway, I began using the debugger today and it's not that intimidating as I first thought. But there is something that's frustrating me and I would appreciate some help:

I sent my player object to the debugger to test its alterable values. The problem is that when I launch the program the "Alterable values" folder is collapsed and I need to click on its plus (+) sign to open it. Doing it once is okay, but every time I press F2 to restart my program, all folders apart from the object itself which shows the X, Y, Width, Height and Fixed value are collapsed, and I have to re-open the Alterable values folder again to see what's in there.

Is there a way to tell the engine to expand all collapsed folders of the debugger or at least specific folders there at start?

Thanks!
