Debugging

What happens if I make mistakes?
When creating dialogs, your going to learn very quickly that one small missing ; or some typo will cause Armed Assault to crash and burn. If you make mistakes when defining your dialogs there are two main responses.
- If you are lucky, the game displays a message box about the missing property.
- If you are unlucky, the game crashes to desktop and informs you, that he can't read a specific part of your definitions. It's harder to find this type of error, but really not impossible.
You can always check the ArmA.rpt file to see if there are any clues as to what you've done. In fact I would recommend checking the rpt frequently any time your editing in Armed Assault. Often those error messages fly by quickly and you don't always see the error.
