Question

Ok, this freaks me out. I basically have this:

var collide:boolean = false;

function Update (){
  if (blah) {
    collide = true;
    Debug.Log(collide);
    Debug.Log(Time.time);
  }
}

My output is lots and lots of Time, but only a single 'true'.
So what the heck's happening?

Are values only printed in Debug.Log when they got changed, or something?
I don't think that's been like that all the time? I'm pretty sure I used to get continuous 'true's, too...
When did they change that?
Or can you set that as a preference somewhere and I accidentally hit the wrong button?

This is disturbing...
Here I thought my 'if' got only true for a single frame when it really goes on and on to be true...
Or am I wrong to assume by the pinting of 'Time' that my if is continuously true? o.o

And here I thought I had finally at least mastered the very base-di-basics of Debugging... -.-

do you have collapse turned on in your console? If you do, it will only show the boolean once when false, then once when true. Turn off collapse and try it.

Debug.Log(Time.time) prints continuously, Debug.Log(someValue) prints only once?
