thanks soo much for this i use it to know objects dimensions for my projects well i use it to find the values i need, i don't use the code in my project

Great! This will be super useful!

@toxibunny yeah i got that, i'm fine with this for now though thanks man

Your solution looks pretty solid. Another way to accomplish this would be to use structs as in

integer = 1 strings = 2 floats = 3 arrays = 4 n = [.data = 123, .type = integer] n1 = [.data = "123", .type = strings] if n.type == integer then //do something endif

Keep up the good work!!

@pianofire iv been trying to code an inventory box all day and here you have done it haha 😂

Very, very cool! Love it!

Needed to follow it up with a third update. If you write multiple unit test modules, you need to call test_init() first (to make sure your test starts with a clean context)

oh this is perfect just downloaded it :)

@vinicity
it's not meant to be a string intentionally. it can be, but in reality can and should be anything you throw in there. as an example if you wanted to see the location of a sprite as an example you should actually plop in setBreakpoint(1, "some id value", getSpriteLocation(nameOfSprite)) and it will display the resulting vector. again, the idea was to keep it flexible so you could display custom messages, arrays, values, function results, etc. to pinpoint what something is doing or its value at any given time.

as far as the text goes, yea there were a handful of compromises i had to make to keep it compact but also retain the complete functionality needed to be useful. hopefully something like this will actually make it into the editor itself so we don't need this.

What do you mean with 3D sprites? I only know of 2D sprites.

It's possible to render 3D objects on a 2D image (using setDrawTarget and drawObjects) and you should then be able to use that image with a 3D object drawn on it, as the image for a sprite. But I'm not sure if that's what you mean. Also I haven't used sprites much, so I'm not sure if the sprite updates if you update the image afterwards, but I would expect it does.

@pianofire Thanks for sharing this this might be very usefull

Perfect thank you so much for the answers. Now I study it calmly

could use the showobjectbounds can be a bit messy though

If someone wants to use it in their own project, please be aware that there is a small limitation:

In order to animate the fade in, I needed to draw a solid background colored box behind the currently animating text for each frame. Since the animation is much bigger than the actual text, the box is also much bigger. This means you cannot have two rows of text that are very close to each other, since the box for the next row will partially cover the previous one. Just keep them a bit apart and you will be fine.

@pianofire thats awesome
