Hi,



what is the best workflow to test scripts? I found that simply editing the script file doesn't trigger a reload, even assigning a different script and switch back to the script doesn't. For the moment I need to restart the FPSCR to get the changed script loaded. Is there a better way?



Thanks,

Dirk

I had the same problem. I was unable to find a solution so I think we have to wait until it gets improved.

Thanks for your answer, fane!



So you wrote/debugged your medicstation script (thanks for that, too!!) by restarting FPSCR over and over again?



@lee this should be improved soon.

with the new version it seems to be that you no longer need to restart fpsc to edit/test a script

With version 310114 I find that once a script has been compiled, changes to the lua file do not "register" during execution.



The workaround I use is to save every new version of the script with a slightly different name, e.g. script01.lua, script02.lua, script03.lua, ... and then go to entity edit mode, right-click on the entity and associate it to the new script. If it is the first time the script is used, it is a new compilation and changes take effect.



It takes a few extra clicks to do this, but it is faster than restarting FPSC.

I have to restart the editor every script change with the current version. It is very time consuming. I really hope this is fixed in 1.007.

@tomjscott This will help my learning process incredibly. It is really hard to make simple quick changes at the moment when I have issues. I also have a tendency to want to try a few edits at once to help minimize the down time when restarting but im su
