Developing or updating a feature may happen over the course of multiple days and sometimes having the ability to switch it on/off for feature or performance comparison is a good thing.
Multiple options are available.

== Bool Switch ==

<enforce>
class TAG_TestEntity : GenericEntity
{
[Attribute(defvalue: "0")]
protected bool m_bActivateFeature; // can be changed during runtime with SetActivateFeature

void SetActivateFeature(bool activate)
{
m_bActivateFeature = activate;
}

void PublicMethod()
{
if (m_bActivateFeature)
{
// feature actions
}
else
{
// old/no feature actions
}
}
};
</enforce>

== Preprocessor If ==

{{Feature|important|[[Arma Reforger:Script Editor|Script Editor]] ''usually'' covers such cases well but proper error finding in {{hl|#ifdef}} blocks is not guaranteed.}}

Sometimes a bool switch is not a possible solution (due to required data initialisation or other systems, etc). A preprocessor definition can be used:
<enforce>
class TAG_TestEntity : GenericEntity
{
protected ref array<int> m_aObjectData;
#ifdef TAG_ACTIVATE_FEATURE
protected ref array<int> m_aNewFeatureData; // this will not exist at all in the object if the flag is not defined, therefore no reference/memory will be attributed
#endif

void PublicMethod()
{
#ifdef TAG_ACTIVATE_FEATURE
// feature actions
#else
// old/no feature actions - m_aNewFeatureData can NOT be referenced as it does not exist here
#endif
}

void TAG_TestEntity()
{
m_aObjectData = {};
#ifdef TAG_ACTIVATE_FEATURE
// all these operations will not happen at all - actually, all these instructions will not even exist if the flag is not defined
m_aNewFeatureData = {};
for (int i = 0; i < 1001; i++)
{
m_aNewFeatureData.Insert(i * 2);
}
#endif
}
};
</enforce>

This is very often used

=== Definition ===

A preprocessor value can be defined in two ways:
* preprocessor definition, using <enforce inline>#define TAG_ACTIVATE_FEATURE</enforce> - required in every file that uses it. Can be commented with {{hl|//}}
* the [[Arma Reforger:Startup Parameters#scrDefine|scrDefine]] startup parameter {{hl|ArmaReforger.exe -scrDefine TAG_ACTIVATE_FEATURE}}
