How do I check variables?

Apr 15, 2014

Hello. I cannot recall the code that contains %, that is used to see how your variables are firing. (i.e, true/false, etc.).  Please send it, and this time I will save it somewhere. Thanks!

During development, I'll sometimes use a light box slide that I can click to from the menu bar. The light box slide contains all of the variables that I want to check using the %variable name% format and a label so I know which value belongs to which variable.
After development, I just remove the light box slide link from the top bar.

Also, you can enter this code directly from the Storyline menu. Go to Insert Text Box, then Insert Reference. This takes you to your list of Variables from which to select.  

When you place this code anywhere on a screen, then Preview or Publish, you can see if your Variables are doing what you want them to do. For instance, is it changing from False to True when the timeline ends?  A great troubleshooting tool.
