Basic question?

Seems like a basic question but how do you temporarily turn off a rule without deleting it.

    You can't, officially...

    I do a 'cut' - cmd and x - this means the rule's removed, and I can test, and if I want it back, I just paste back into place.

    Hardly ideal though...

    yeah tough one, you can add a rule which says if game.attribute "test" is 1 make it active. If it is false it won't work.

    Ok for testing but no ideal.

    I'm amazed... it has to be the most basic part of any development process, makes debugging a nightmare

    Create a game boolean attribute and call it ThisRuleIsDisabled and set it to false. then Wrap any rule you want disabled in a rule that says when game.ThisRuleIsDisabled. Because it is initially set to false it will never be true and the game engine will ignore everything that is within the rule.

    Yeah that is the simplest way but it goes against the most basic principles of good coding.

    And I am a grumpy old bast**d, works ok once you folded all the rules into manageable little bars
