|image=Inspect Number.png

Displays the value given to the input, allowing you to see values of [[variables]] or results of scripts.

This block is essential for debugging your games, as it allows you to know what value your variables have at all times.

So you can see if a position is correct, or if a loop it's reaching the desired number.

* '''[[Number]]''': either a floating-point value, truncating the decimal when necessary, or '''nan''' or '''inf'''

* '''[[Object]]''': either '''None''', or the ID of the object

* '''[[Vector]]''': each component of the vector

* '''[[Truth]]''': either '''True''' or '''False'''

* '''[[Rotation]]''': a quaternion represented by 3 angles

The number displayed on the object inspect is usually not useful, but there is a use for the object inspect, which we will talk about bellow in the next section.

And you might also notice that the rotation inspect shows a completely different value from what it's being given to it, this is because the same rotation can be expressed with different angles, so don't worry too much about this one.

Note that the display on this block is only visible when the block is on the ground, so it's impossible to see the value when using it inside a script block.

And that's when: '''Advanced mode''', comes in.

In the image above you can see a small blue square at the bottom right, this is what advanced mode does.

With this you can still see the value of your variables regardless of where the inspect block is or where your [[Set Camera|camera]] is pointing.

To enable it, all you need to do is select any inspect block in the game, once selected you will see a new button appear on the bottom right of the hotbar which says "<u>Advanced</u>". Clickng this button will toggle advanced mode, indicated by a checkmark. The toggle is global and will enable/disable advanced mode on all inspect blocks at once.

With it enabled, all object inspects will show a pink line going from the inspect button to the object being inspected, instead of only displaying an ID.

While playing in [[Editor|edit mode]], if advanced mode is activated, all inspected values will be displayed on the right side of your screen, arranged vertically. If you tap on one of them, each time it is [[Execution order|executed]], it's value will be printed to a "console log" on the left side. This is helpful if you want to keep track of how values change  over time.

The first three lines of the log will always be occupied by percentages of [[Limitations in Fancade scripting#Number of created objects|object]], [[Script limit|script]], and [[Limitations in Fancade scripting#Maximum custom blocks|block]] limits consumed.
