Gosh I need a better debugger

Hi.

I have a button, that acts strangely when I click the button.

But I am unable to debug, because you can't place a breakpoint on a triggered event.

That so sucks!

Sorry Love Construct 2, but this is something I hope will be changed in a future update.

Can't you just right click your event and toggle break point inside c2?

You can't toggle a breakpoint on a trigger event..... So If I wan't to see what happens when I click a button.. That is not possible.

sorry yeah i just tested it. I hadn't tried using it on a triggered event yet apparently and it still listed it in the right click dialog so I just assumed it worked

Use console logs

Do I have to install a plugin to use the console logs?

Integrated browser plugin log action.

Although if you don't like it you can look in the third-part addons list there were several available.

Personally I usually just go with a "DebugLog" array, which is easy to inspect at runtime, and the Chrome JavaScript console. Not great, but better than nothing for these cases when you can't use the breakpoints

No its not great, but Chrome JavaScript Console, is a better option than having to play a sound or write som text in the game somewhere (which I do now)

So thanks for bringing the Chrome Console to my attention.

I can see on the Scirra blogs, that they have started on construct 3 development. Perhaps we will get a better debugger in Construct 3.
