SKILL console ?

VECTORT
VECTORT over 7 years ago

Hi,

is there possibility somehow to have SKILL console ? Like TCL console in Capture?

If not can you give some tips/advices how quicker develop and test code in SKILL.

Because right now I am writing code in Notepad++ then under Allegro I am importing scritps registering command running command,

and this takes time a lot of time, while I am still learning and doing lots of mistakes.

So repeating this steps all over and over is annoying. SKILL console would speed up testing some basic constructions.

Thank you in advance.

    I use this for quickly reloading one or a set of skill files and restart the code:

    defun( zz ()
        load("<skillfile>")
        load("<additional skillfile>")
        axlShell("done")
        axlShell("<registrated command>")
    )

    By typing 'zz' in the skill console it will (re)load and start the code. It saves you some copy/pasting of 'load' commands during debugging:)
