[[Debugging Techniques]] are ways for a developers to debug (narrow down/determine the root source), or to learn and understand where and why errors or unexpected outcomes are occurring within their code.

Debugging is usually as complicated as writing the actual code itself. You usually get hinted by the game, where some error happened, and what it was.<br />
|- style="background-color: #DEF0AD"
There are instances where actual error reason might be something completely different than announced (eg. you get the error on a variable being [[nil]] somewhere, but the actual error is that you mistyped it where you set it initially).
| [[Event Scripts#initServer.sqf|initServer.sqf]] is executed
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
| <!-- Single Player -->
| <!-- Dedicated Server -->
| <!-- Hosted Server -->
| {{n/a}} <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| {{n/a}} <!-- JIP MP Client -->


{{Important|Make sure you enable ''Show Script Errors'' in the Launcher (for {{arma3}}) or set the corresponding [[Arma_3_Startup_Parameters|-showScriptErrors]] startup parameter.}}
|- style="background-color: #DEF0AD"
| [[Event Scripts#initPlayerLocal.sqf|initPlayerLocal.sqf]] is executed
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
| <!-- Single Player -->
| {{n/a}} <!-- Dedicated Server -->
| <!-- Hosted Server -->
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


A script error will greet you with this box:
|- style="background-color: #DEF0AD"
[[File:A3_ScriptErrorMsg.jpg|thumb|Script error message|center|500px]]
| [[Event Scripts#initPlayerServer.sqf|initPlayerServer.sqf]] is executed on the server
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
| <!-- Single Player -->
| {{n/a}} <!-- Dedicated Server -->
| ?? <!-- Hosted Server -->
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


It tells you what went wrong, shows a snippet of the code that failed and what file and line it occurred in (unless you used a command combination like eg. {{Inline code|[[compile]] [[loadFile]]}}).
|-
Knowing this, you now can proceed to find the actual reason why that specific piece of code errored.
| [[Arma 3: Functions Library|Functions]] with <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp" inline>postInit</syntaxhighlight> {{Link|Arma 3: Functions Library#Attributes 3|attribute}} are called
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]<ref name="enginewaits"/>

| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


{{informative|This information can also be found in the [[arma.RPT|RPT log]].}}

| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
| <!-- Single Player -->

| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


To solve an issue, you must first to became aware that of it. Aside from your script not having the desired result/effect (if any), an error message can tell you about the problem.
|- style="background-color: #95DEF0"
* Be sure to use [[Arma 3 Startup Parameters#Developer Options|<tt>-showScriptErrors</tt>&nbsp;startup&nbsp;parameter]] to display the error on-screen when it happens
| [[Event Scripts#init.sqf|init.sqf]] is executed
* To learn about the location in your script use [[preprocessFileLineNumbers]] to [[preprocessFile]]
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
* Read [[Crash Files|RPT files]] for more information (make sure [[Arma 3 Startup Parameters#Performance|<tt>-noLogs</tt> startup parameter]] is '''not''' active - otherwise the log will empty)
| <!-- Single Player -->
** Scripts running on a server use the '''Arma''X''Server.RPT''' file which has varying location depending upon the type of server being run.
| <!-- Dedicated Server -->
** Scripts running on a client use the '''Arma''X''.RPT''' file.

| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


==== RPT files ====
The [[arma.RPT|RPT]] is also used by the game's engine log other type of problems (low level engine issues, or content problems for example). Hence it will dump all kinds of debug information, warnings, errors as well as encountered script errors.
One can also write information to it by using commands like [[diag_log]].
{{Important|The RPT file might be disabled using the Arma 3 launcher or by setting the corresponding [[Arma_3_Startup_Parameters|-noLogs]] startup parameter ({{arma3}} or {{arma2oa}} option)}}

=== Solving Errors ===
| 42 <!-- JIP MP Client -->
 
Once the script error is located: '''Make sure to check first the BiKi page corresponding to the command/function you are using to learn about potential misuse or other important information mentioned on the page!'''
 
The most simple thing you can do is to output expected values. This can be done using for example [[diag_log]] or [[systemChat]].
Output yourself a few [[Variables|variables]] that relate to your problem (for example: When the error occurs because you land in some [[if]] block, output the corresponding variables inside of the if).
You continue doing this until you hit the actual problem: When [[Variables|variable]] A is not set, go to where [[Variables|variable]] A gets set and check around there, repeat and continue.
 
The same can be done for non-critical errors like when a method is "just" computing the wrong values.
 
{{Informative|
If you're having great difficulty solving a problem, the good way is to narrow down the issue to the simplest code block possible;
or take the mission part that doesn't work, paste it into a new test mission and go from here.
Doing so will save you dealing with other scripts' potential side effects!}}

=== Working with Addons ===
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


If you are working on an addon, repacking a PBO can be time-intensive.
This operation can be replaced simply by creating a basic mission in the "Missions" or "MPmissions" (if your feature is multiplayer-specific) folder of your game installation, and running the mission locally.
The easiest way of accomplishing this is by the use of [[Event Scripts]] to run your code such as [[init.sqf]].
Once you have tested your code this way, you can then sequentially pack your PBO when major changes have been made, rather than for each debug session of a script or piece of code.
=== Debugging specific sections of code ===
Although primitive, the combined use of [[diag_log]], [[systemChat]]/[[hint]] and [[format]] can help to debug the content of function arguments.
In the case that specific pieces of code do not run, or if specific ''if'' conditions don't appear to fire, debugging the variable content with [[diag_log]] can be useful.
As with all debugging, as long as the developer is methodical and logical in checking each section of code that runs, finding bugs and resolving them can be straightforward.
