Debugger GUI Module
Description
So recently I have been making a FPS project, and I wanted a way to display variables without printing them, as it can be nice. I came up with something simple(super simple) that displays variables and is rather modular.
All it does is store the variables you want to use, then displays them as frames in a GUI and they are updated as much as you want them to be.
As I said, it is very simple, but I found it helpful when debugging stuff, and not wanting to print anything.
Advantages
- You don’t slow down performance with using
print() - It’s very efficient at displaying
- It is modular
- It has random color support
(this is like a total joke but ok)
Using this is very simple, and requires a grand total of 3 brain cells.
Documentation
Creating a debug menu
Debugger.new(DataTemplate(instance), DebugGui(instance), Autoscale(bool), RandomColors(bool))
(You should only ever need to run this once EVER.)
DataTemplate : This is the frame that contains the variable name and the value.
Should look like this 
DebugGui : This is the main GUI where variables are stored, it must follow a format such as this
Should look like this 
(Thanks to this for making my studio look pretty 
)
(The UIListLayout is only needed if Autoscale = true)
Autoscale : This is a boolean deciding if DebugGui.Main should be scaled based off of content size.
RandomColors : Produces this effect. (uses random seed based off of length of value name)
returns ClonedGui from DebugGui
Adding/Updating a value
Debugger.UpdateValue(Name, NewValue)
After using Debugger.new(), you can update as many values as you need, keep in mind you need screen space for this.
Example usage:
Debugger.UpdateValue("Hello", "World")
Deleting a value is simple, all you have to do is update a value with a value of nil
Displaying/Updating the GUI
Debugger.DisplayValues()
To update a DebugGui all you have to do is call this function and it will update.
It is best you run this when needed, or after updating all your values.
