Automatically Show F11 Panel

Automatically Show F11 Panel - 12/19/13 01:07

I don't know if it's a bug in my code, but I notice sometimes that if I do not start the F11 debug panel immediately after starting my game, it will not show up (although I can hear the beep() sound). Is there an easy way to automatically show this panel on startup?

Open the include folder of your GStudio installation, then open default.c. There you will find def_debug() which is the function in question to show the debug panel.

Your problem may be related to other things, for example when you press Alt+Tab to leave your game, (edit a shader, check your e-mails or whatever) then click your game window again, the engine will think that you are still pressing Alt. As a result, when pressing F11 only the following code will be executed:

Code:

void def_debug() 
{
    beep();
    if(key_alt) 
    { 
        diag_status(); 
        return; 
    }
    ...
}

You're right, it is due to alt-tabbing out of the window! Pressing alt again restores its functionality. Thanks Superku!
