Edit Code In Real Time (Game Time)

Post by i_love_u »

:awesome: Is there not a way to edit my script with the game running, click back in my game window and see the changes instantly? I want this instead of having to close it and rerun the game every time I tweak it.. :awesome: :crazy: :huh: :cool:
