Using the break statement (like Delphis <Exit>) to exit a script, dosn't work anymore. I got an Compile error.... Break used without content.

Like calling a testscript.

if (var1=1) and (var2=0)
{
break;
}

if (....)
{
break;
}

...
...
other scriptcode...


Another way to solve this problem ?

break exits from loops and switch-case. exit exits a script.

edit: Though, I suppose break should probably work...

If you want to end a script use 'exit;' not 'break'

'break' is for pausing loop functions.

Thanks guys.

I tranfered old GM-Scripts to Gamemaker Studio. Till GM 8.1 <break> worked like <Exit> outside the statements.

The Help from Gamemaker studio (And GM 8.1).

The break statement has the form

break
If used within a for-loop, a while-loop, a repeat-loop, a switch statement, or a with statement, it end this loop or statement. If used outside such a statement it ends the program (not the game).

Yeah, I realized that after I posted. That's why I edited my post so shortly after I posted.
