ArMaTeC DEBUG System 1.0

[armatech 8]

This is a simple system adding a simple way to debug scripts

Adding armatec debug to your scripts (See example script folder)

1. Place the ArMaTeC DEBUG game logic on your map in the editor

2. Create a file named init.sqf and add in the following

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

//Enable debug

ArMaT_DEBUG_ENABLED = 1;

3. Edit your scripts so that its outputting what debug info following are some example's or how to add the code

Example 1

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>[b]Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

if (YOURDEBUGNAME)then

{

 res = ["Script Name","DEBUG INFOMATION"] call ArMaT_DEBUG;

};

Example 2

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>[b]Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

while{true}do

{

 if (YOURDEBUGNAME)then

 {

 res = ["Script Name.sqf",format["DEBUG INFOMATION %1",getpos player]] call ArMaT_DEBUG;

 };

sleep 1;

};

Exsample 3

Debug with Admin only settings

This is the init.sqf whre you difine the players who should see the ">>debug" action

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>[b]Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

//Check for debug addon

_Settingspath = configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "ArMaT_DEBUG";

_ok = isClass (_Settingspath);

if(_ok)then{

//Secrity (Admin)

ArMaT_DEBUG_AUTH = ["ArMaTeC(Predator)"];

{

if(format ["%1",_x] == format ["%1",(name player)])then

{

//Run Debug

player sidechat "Debug mode";

//Enable debug

ArMaT_DEBUG_ENABLED = 1;

//Show system debug

ArMaT_DEBUGDEBUG_ENABLED = false;

//used in debug exsample

YOURDEBUGNAME = true;

}else{

//Do what ever

};

}foreach ArMaT_DEBUG_AUTH;

//End of Secrity

};

Exsample 4

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>[b]Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[code]

//Check for debug addon

_Settingspath = configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "ArMaT_DEBUG";

_ok = isClass (_Settingspath);

if(_ok)then

{

/////////////////////

//debug settings//

/////////////////////

};

4. if you have used a custom debug var e.g. YOURDEBUGNAME you need to add

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>[b]Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

YOURDEBUGNAME = true;

5. Run the mission and click the ">>Debug" button.

To load some default debug info created just to test out the debugger

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>[b]Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_x = 4;//Ammount of debug 3

[_x]call ARMATECDEFAULTDATA;

Inside the download you will find a example mission and the debug addon

Enjoy

Updated to 1.1

Corrected ">>Debug" option so that it shows in all vehicles

Hi,

may you add to a link to a non scaled version of that image so that we're able to see the details?

Does this works for non local scripts? For example when debugging a multiplayer mission where a script runs only on the server.

Why there is a delay between pressing a button and the action of that button? This was a little disturbing while testing that addon.

Nice work thanks!

This is a GREAT start!! I think we will start using it.

I am looking forward to this debug system that allows server-side debug messages to be displayed in the dialog and also remain there when a dev guy JIP's in to look at the debug of a currently running MP session.

Also a way to add mission-friendly action menu ">>Debug" only available to those players in an arrary, (e.g. dev_authorized_arrary).

mission-friendly means one that stays available when you enter a vehicle or parachute without overwriting other mission designer action menus.

I have yet to see any debug system do that.  Spooner's comes close.

For mp scerity

try this

init.sqf

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

//Check for debug addon

_Settingspath = configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "ArMaT_DEBUG";

_ok = isClass (_Settingspath);

if(_ok)then{

//Secrity (Admin)

ArMaT_DEBUG_AUTH = ["ArMaTeC(Predator)"];

{

if(format ["%1",_x] == format ["%1",(name player)])then

{

//Run Debug

player sidechat "Debug mode";

//Enable debug

ArMaT_DEBUG_ENABLED = 1;

//Show system debug

ArMaT_DEBUGDEBUG_ENABLED = false;

//used in debug exsample

YOURDEBUGNAME = true;

}else{

//Do what ever

};

}foreach ArMaT_DEBUG_AUTH;

//End of Secrity

};
