What expression did you put in the Log Debugging Statement? Can you get it to work with the default expression as a standalone behavior (not in a rule)? Have you tried it with other actors in the scene? I'm trying to determine if that behavior is not working at all for you or if it's related to the expression and/or rule you're using.

i used the defualt expression to do the test, so i think the behavior is not working.
the "log debugging statement" is not in the rule,is the first behavior of the actor.
and this actor's other behavior can work.

how can i put a picture or a video in this forum? i want to show you how i did it ^_^

Yep, that looks right. So I'm not sure what to recommend. You might see if these suggestions help: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/59247/windows-creator-first-stop-if-you-experience-unexpected-behaviours/p1.

Thanks, it helps a lot.
I tried to change the language settings of windows.But the debug still can't be displayed.
Now I think i can add a actor to dis play the result to see what i want to see.
Thank you again.

I personally don't use debug but I use 'show text' to see events, expressions, values as it shows it real time. . Also as it helped me a lot on debugging. .
