Built-in debugger questions

by Michael Rogers · in Torque Game Engine · 07/12/2005 (6:30 pm) · 2 replies

[This message was originally posted in tools, but I decided that the built-in debugger really wasn't a tool, so I'm moving it here.]

The built-in debugger looks great, but although I can see the standard scripts, a script that I've written -- control/scfripts/Hello.cs -- doesn't appear in the Open FIle menu. What must I do to make it appear?

Also, is there someway to step through the entire startup sequence, beginning with the root module main.cs? Right now, of course, I have to launch Torque twice, and the first version has completely finished main.cs before I can debug it from the second veresion.

Thanks for any help,

Michael

The debugger should have a list of all the files that the debuggee has loaded via exec(). Make sure that debuggee and debugger match up - I'm not sure it's necessary but it can't hurt.

I'm sure there is. The debugger hasn't exactly seen a lot of use; while it works in general (it did the last time I tested it), there's probably a lot of room for improvement and exploration. Any docs/notes/tutorials you might come up with would be very welcome on TDN. Give me a shout if you're interested in helping out!

Ben,

If I knew enough to be able to help, I would -- I consider myself pretty good at exposition. Unfortunately, I'm not yet at the point where I could contribute something meaningful.
