Am I in World Editor or Game?

by Edward Rotberg · in Technical Issues · 12/14/2009 (8:15 pm) · 4 replies

Is there a quick way to determine if my code is running in the World Editor, as opposed to running in the game?

Thanks in advance,

Do you exec your scripts from your game directory or from the editor directory? Alternatively, did you make any editor changes to the C++ code or was it all to the core engine files?

I guess I should have been more specific. I am interested in determining this from my custom RenderDelegate, in C++. I have no need to know this in a script.

extern bool gEditingMission;

if (gEditingMission)
{
// I'm in the editor!
}
