Hi

Not entirely sure where to put this as it could easily turn into a suggestion for later SCP builds.

Is there a way to get the game to output data from the expression as they work in real time to a HTML/txt file? which sumerises events and then shows the detail of each check against that event.

I imagine the output looking something like (where event # replace with the event name)



Summery of (Mission file name)

Code: [Select]

Mission Briefing

Event B1
     condition
        Times Evaluated - 1
        Times true - 0

Any thoughts?

EDIT
Thanks The E for the tags

Yes. [code][/code] tags are nice. (Sorry)

Sounds like a good idea, but could get very ugly very fast when you have events with a sufficiently high repeat count (or every-time'd ones).

that was the big issue that came to mind while setting this up the only workaround I can think of is if the output throws them to the bottom of the file so at least you don't have to trawl through it to find something else.

Personally, I would much rather have some kind of online sexp debugger. Something where I can see the sexp execution in real time, and single-step or manipulate it when necessary.
