Sandbird Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was wondering if i am the only one here that is losing so much time in debugging custom scripts for Epoch. I was writing a script for neon lights, for the cars and it took me 1 week just to debug it. The 3d-editor for epoch scripts is a joke..it doesnt even allow BIS_fnc to execute...basically you can only script basic stuff there. If you wanna test your fn_selfactions there, you have to reinvent the wheel. Am i the only one that writes the script, loads the server join with client, just to test an addaction if it was correct ? And if i forget a comma or something, again do the whole process again..make a pbo, load the server, join with client etc etc. Sure there is squint for debugging but it cant help to write 'live' things... Whats your opinion on this ? I am planning to do something about this...and wanted to know if i should waste my time or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 hi, axe cop already offerd us a debug console for stuff like that. it allows us to open a console ingame inwhich you can post your custom code...... (of course you would need to setup a testserver with it) its somewhere in this forum just search for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbird Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yeah i know about that debugger...i've seen others as well. They are fine but not for getting fast results on writing a script...They are more of a glorified diag_log function. You still have recompile the whole thing and restart the server to get the 'new' changes to continue working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruubje11 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I like this idea very much. Having to do restarts everytime to just test some small changes can really get tedious after a while. It's also demotivating sometimes for a beginning scripter with a slow pc! I'd be very interested in this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
