Hi!!!
Many time I would like to break a game and landing into debugger in some situation: f.e. a few moment before a enemy hit me....
But the problem is that I don't know where I have to put a breakpoint.
So I would like: define an hotkey who pause the game, then auto-set a breakpoint on the return address when the game is unpaused.
CE does support setting an hotkey to pause the game, and then pressing again the game resume, this means that CE know EXACTLY at what address have to resume, so I think why not give us the opportunity to enter directelly in the debugger?
It may be really usefull many times.
I have post under Lua scripting, coz I think this may be released in Lua.

Thanks

I'm not sure that this would help you much with the situation that you have described, as the game could be executing any random code at the time of pause.

Better to use ultimap and find the call that gets executed during enemy attack sequence or something.

the code that gets executed after resume can also be the code responsible for playing music, rendering pixels on the screen, dealing with animations, dealing with input, dealing with loss of keyboard focus, or anything else related
and that's not even counting threads
