Test only command prompts
« on: August 24, 2019, 06:37:07 PM »
Command prompts that are only run during tests would be nice. One for area settings, and the other for every area and so forth.

it'd be nice, but you can make test-only items if you really need it.

I've been aware of that for a super long time. But test items just aren't good enough for a lot of things.

It'd be super useful. Lets say you're testing a large game (like ASM) and you need to have certain things activated without constantly going to the command prompt from the pause menu to enter those special commands. It can be used in an infinite amount of situations.

Warrior555 doesn't seem to get it. These command prompts are REALLY needed!

Yeah in fact that's practical for me so I don't need to close game setup and open the level to test commands
