How do I set a breakpoint

I own C2 the personel edition, but I can't set a breakpoint anywhere. "breakpoints cannot be set in triggered or looping branches" always pops up. can someone write me 5 lines of code where I can set a breakpoint (and tell me where to set it?). Maybe breakpoints don't work in the steam version?

Do I have to be running in debug mode or something?

thanks for your time.

As the message indicates, you cannot set a breakpoint on events that are triggered or events that are loops.

Try setting a breakpoint on a "every tick" event for example.

Thanks Xavier. I can set a break point in every tick, so at least I know it works.
