Not working in Script

Hello,

it is not working when I change something in this script. There are also no messages in the server window when I save the file. Other scripts and events work fine.

// Script assets have changed for v2.3.0 see

What about the Output in the editor? And are you using the most recent version? There were a couple fixes a month and some ago.

There is nothing in the Output either. I installed it on monday from the marketplace. Game Maker Version is IDE v2023.6.0.89 Runtime v2023.6.0.137.

Is there a possibility that you can trim this script down a little to figure out what portion of it causes it to not work with GMLive? There’s a good amount of resources and variables in here.

That would most likely cost more time than it saves... Then I would rather not use GMLive with this script.

Do I have to pay attention at global variables? I have noticed in another script that the use of global variables may cause problems.

Developer

Removing ~half of the code to check if that makes it compile (even if it will error afterwards) a few times wouldn’t take too much. Perhaps also watch if the server window says “updated (script name)” and what the Output window says / add screenshots of these.

Global variables should be fine; there might be some way to break globalvar detection if you don’t use semicolons or find a novel way to write the declaration that I’m not aware of (e.g. the extension used to have problems with var var i;). I think the most notable issue right now is that trying to live-update a constructor doesn’t work very well, only methods inside it.

In the meantime I finshed working on this script.

Thanks for your support!
