Troubleshooting & Bug Reports / Robot apparently silently fails to compile or edit
« on: December 29, 2018, 11:55:35 am »
Hello,
I have made a programmable robot, then tried out some programming. I saw that files are created in the Script/Squirrel directory, but cannot see a editor in my full screen game, but indeed no error message too. I could not realise that there was a syntaxt error in the code : no local variable declaration (variable X is not defined). What if functin Voxel_Step is missing?
All this put together, looks as if the Programmable Robot Silently fails to compile.
I think that displaying an error on execution errors should give more confidence to the player, explaining what his/her error was...
Hopes it helps,
