Creating Breakpoints and watch
by delinkx · in Technical Issues · 08/12/2008 (2:58 am) · 6 replies
Hi,
I am new to torque. I am using an editor like JEdit or notepad to edit and create scripts.
But its not as flexible as Visual Studio projects where breakpoints, step through and watch can be used. How do i make these possible here on torque ?
how to make it work as efficient as an IDE like Visual Studio. ?
so that when i am running the torquedemo.exe, it creates the proper breakpoints in the scripts i made so that i can debug the values and all those things..
thnx

Codeweaver supports breakpoints, and it's free. The downsides are that it's not supported anymore, and it's not as good as Torsion.

I believe Codeweaver is better than Torsion, given its better support for variable-level autocompletion and custom method comments. Unfortunately, it's much buggier than Torsion, and Sam Basca doesn't seem too keen on even passing on the source-code to someone else to work on it.

Just try both and make your own decision!

Some more insights though: Codeweaver can be annoyingly when cames to sudden crashes and memory footprint, points by far better managed in Torsion. Also Torsion has a much better debugging approach. The real shine of Codeweaver cames to a highly customizable GUI, from tabs/window distribution to keyboard shorcuts; also it can be enhaced by a standard plugin architecture, and by visual studio standard code snipets, which turn the code-writing more comfortable. Another difference is that Torsion uses the actual directory structure in the project, while Codeweaver uses a virtual folder struture.

Actually, like many things in life, you have to decide yourself. Try both, Torsion has a full featured trial.Some more insights though: Codeweaver can be annoyingly when cames to sudden crashes and memory footprint, points by far better managed in Torsion.
