Title: Exception Handling in Wintemute.
Post by: Akatosh on March 23, 2010, 01:35:20 PM

Hello everyone,

As this is my first post, I would like to start by congratulating the fine team that made Wintermute. It's truly superb.

I would like to ask if there is any Exception Handling available on Wintermute.
I have searched the forums and the online Documentation but I didn't see anything.

I'm asking this because I want to make the player type the scene and/or an inventory item, for example, to acess/get it.

If there is no such scene/item when prompted, it says "Error script" in game and "Fatal Error" on wme.log

I tried making a try catch method, but the game doesn't recognize.
If I was to detect that error, in some kind of handler, I could avoid possible crashes and that evil message on screen.

Unfortunately there's no exception system (or any other global error handling system) in WME script.

Hum, so there's any way to detect the script gave error ? I don't need it to have a specific error.

Oh well. Thanks for the quick reply :)

Good day.
