Tip: Debugging graphics problems in SCI

[lskovlun]

This tip will probably be most useful in the last phases of game development. If you put the following code in your game, you will be able to switch between the visual, priority and control maps at run-time. You can use it to debug problems with actors not appearing behind things when they should and other similar problems.

Code: [Select]

(local theMap = 1)


and in your handleEvent:

Code: [Select]

(if(Said('show'))
           Show(= theMap (Print("Select the map to display:"
                          #button "Visual" 1
                          #button "Priority" 2
                          #button "Control" 4
                          #button "Cancel" theMap))))
