Configuration in Take On Helicopters differs, Mission Editor: Debug Console (Take On Helicopters)
Debug Console is an editing tool giving designer ability to check various states and execute custom code on fly.
Access
While playing a mission from the editor, the console is immediately available in pause menu. In old 2D editor map screen, you can open in by clicking on "Debug Console" button or using Ctrl+D shortcut. In Eden editor it is available under Tools -> Debug Console.
Configuration
The console is automatically available in missions running from editor. If mission designer wishes to enable it elsewhere, he can achieve it in in one of the 3 ways:
- Using following Description.ext param:
enableDebugConsole = 1;
Possible values:
0 - Default behavior, available only in editor
1 - Available in SP and for hosts / logged in admins in MP
2 - Available for everyone
- Using Eden attribute Debug Console, available in Attributes -> General -> States -> Debug Console
- Using mission config param. You can add "\a3\functions_f\Params\paramDebugConsole.hpp" mission parameter, where server host / admin can choose whether or not he'll allow debug console.
