How to effectively debug script?

[Woods]

What is the best way to do this? Can I log data to the file? Get object map and stuff?

Yanfly's core engine plugin comes with an option to open the debugging console. You can inspect global variables from there. That, plus logging and assigning useful values to a global for later inspection. You can also work on reusable stuff in more easily debugged contexts. F.e. I just wrote a little webpage with embedded JavaScript to get some stuff right, and then integrated it with a game.

You can press F8 during the playtest and use a standard Chrome-like debugger.

You can also open the index.html in your project and use the dev tools in your browser of choice
Do note that you may have to allow reading local files or you may get errors when trying to load .json files

Personally I work in Visual Studio.

You have a powerful tool there :)

Thanks for this info!

Thanks you guys for all your help. That helped a lot. Didn't realised at first that you can open the game as html page and use your ordinary debug tools. F8 ingame is also another useful solution. It's really easy debug RPG Maker now.
