SetDevelopmentMode

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This function is used to set the development mode. Setting development mode allows access to special commands which can assist with script debugging.

Client-side development mode commands:

  • showcol: Enables colshapes to be viewed as a wireframe object.
  • showsound: Enables world sound ids to be printed in the debug output window.

Shared development mode functions:

  • debugSleep: Sets the freeze time for the client/server.

Syntax

bool setDevelopmentMode ( bool enable [, bool enableWeb = false ] )

Required Arguments

  • enable: A boolean to indicate whether development mode is on (true) or off (false)
  • enableWeb: A boolean to indicate whether browser debug messages will be filtered (false) or not (true)

Returns

Returns true if the mode was set correctly, false otherwise.

Requirements

Minimum supported server 1.5.4-9.11305
Minimum supported client 1.1.1-9.03355

Note: Using this function requires the resource to have the above minimum version declared in the meta.xml <min_mta_version> section. e.g. <min_mta_version server="1.5.4-9.11305" client="1.1.1-9.03355" />

Example

Example 1: This example would set the development mode of the client. Use /showcol [<0-1>] and /showsound [<0-1>] later to enable/disable respective functions.

addCommandHandler("devmode",
    function()
        setDevelopmentMode(true)
    end
)
