Watches Tab

The Watches tab is where you can create watches to monitor the game objects and listeners in your game. A watch is an ongoing process that monitors a game object or listener and reports details about its status. Information retrieved through watches can then be used by the Game Object 3D Viewer and the Game Sync Monitor.

[Note] Note

The game objects in the Watches tab will be displayed in the graph view of the RTPC Tab and the Attenuation Editor during playback.
