Pierre-Marie Baty · **set breakpoints programatically -** 26-01-2004

had this question popping up in my mind in the beginning of this afternoon, then Stefan passed by (always wasting time around, this guy

) and we met on IRC and 5 minutes after the answer was found, one browsing his MSDN CDs and the other one Googling around at msdn.microsoft.com. I really love that sort of cooperation between bot coders at Bots United

Found this loveable DebugBreak() function, which on intel machines, does basically this:

Code:

_asm int 3

the effect of this is similar as if you had set a breakpoint at this location. This enables you to break in your code on request (for example, by bringing down the console and typing a server command...)

So here it is, for those who might be interested.

Handy, eh ?
