SetDevelopmentMode

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.


[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: Enabling development mode on the server side does not enable it on the client side. These functions work independently on both sides

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 server version 1.5.4-9.11305
Minimum client version 1.1.1-9.03355

Note: Using this feature 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
)

It is important to note that this example has to be in a client side script. Otherwise, the execution of the command would only result in the shared dev mode that does not allow the use of showcol and showsound.
