If you've encountered a message similar to the one in the image, you've run into a problem with your script.

You can fail-safe your script through various ways and/or use debug script functions to report any errors as you work on your map/mod.

=Dvars=
If you've run into an error but the engine error message is vague or does not specificy an exact script line, you may have '''Developer''' set to '''0''' (by default). Be sure to set '''Developer''' to '''1''' before you launch your map.

You may also want to set '''Developer_Script''' to '''1''' too, it is 0 by default. This will read any script between <code>/# #/</code> -- it is explained below through examples.

=Logfile=
You may want to have a digital text copy of the engine error, which is where a Logfile comes in hand.<br>
Also, you may run into nasty errors that freeze/crash the game depending on how servely bugged your script is, and may not get a chance to view the error within the game. A Logfile will generate a digital copy of the error report in a text file for your convenience when you can't view the error in-game.

You can set it by command line:
+set '''logfile''' #
You can set it via the console:
/'''logfile''' #

{| border = "1"
!Value
!Description

|'''0'''
|Disable

|Async Write

|'''2'''
