Arma 3 debug console: what is the icon to the left of "Server Exec"?

Recommended Posts

I've looked for info on this but haven't been able to find anything: in the debug console, what does the little dial symbol to the left of "Server Exec" do?

 

I'm asking concretely because I've been trying to use the debug console to spawn ACE3 medical crates in missions that don't have any, and even with "Server Exec" it doesn't always work on a dedicated server - but then I tried clicking on that icon, et voilà!, I suddenly had something like a hundred crates all over the place. Obviously not an ideal solution, but mostly I'm just curious as to what the button does.

The expression can be executed by one of the following buttons:

  • [...]
  • Performance Test - See: diag_codePerformance

You can test how good your code runs with that button. It basically executes the statement a thousand times and captures the execution time.

Ah, thanks. That explains the hundreds of spawned crates - though not why the command executed once on the server doesn't always produce a result. Weird...
