I am trying to see the value of my variables in debug mode but they only appear when in I enable slo-mo.

In order to see your variables, you must be in slow mode or pause the program via the blue pause button:

Once paused, you can resume with that button.

The variables appear in slo-mo or if you add a break point to one of your blocks/lines of code. If you do this, the code will pause when it reaches that line, and you can look at the variables from there.

I don’t get this really. Why is Slo-Mo deleting variables from the game?

It shouldn’t. You can only view variables in slow-mo or when the game is paused. Otherwise it will just say running…

It does not. It only does not show them.
