Tip: Did you know!

Skylines main editor has a console panel which houses a full lua interpreter! You can enter most lua commands into the command prompt and see them instantly without running the game.

Try typing the command:
Code: Select all
sky.trace();

next you will see the debug helper text in the console output panel above the prompt.

I know the 'in thing' these days is to have a LIVE scene editor but I have always been much more productive with a the scene editor not being live and having to run it outside the development environment....

My question is how to reset the scene editor to it's original design as if i just opened it ( especially after runnign several commands in the console and forgeting what i did xD )

Also hwo to disable LIVE scene inside the development environment? <- the way i script, this would be handy for my awkwardness O:)

As we have see scripts can be run from inside the editor, we are going to add editor specific commands such as add/scatter 50 items( thanks Element ) to the scene. But the main scripts can only be run from the "play mode" ( press the blue play button) . The editor shows the in game visuals as they will be seen, but to see the game screens, run the game scripts you need to press the play button.

UCM@ I think this answers your question ;)
