This is a very simple script I made that will check if a certain error has occurred. Please note that this will only work in the Step, Begin step and End step events, depending on when the error occured. I recommend that you turn off show error messages in the Global game settings ( Although you can leave it on too ). Also, this only works on Runtime Errors, not Compile-time errors (Compiling is when the game loads). A help file is also included.

Functions:

error_catch(type) // This function will return true if the specified error has occurred; you can see all the types by going to 
                   Scripts->Show Extension Functions. Or just see the included help file.
error_ignore() // just a function that ignores an error, if you don't already know how to do it.

Please report any bugs, as it is not exactly finished. But I don't plan on continuing it either
Please comment and download.

This looks useful. You didn't include the help file though, so I can't tell how exactly it works.


Nevermind: I looked in the extention thing. I think I might use this. I don't think you got every possible error (which is a lot of them).

Yeah, I'll add a help file soon. it'll probably be a PDF

EDIT: Ok I added a help file And edited the main post. just read the help file to see why all the errors aren't there.

I can't get it to catch anything. Can you put up a quick example of how error_catch should be implemented?

I can't get it to work, either.

I put this in the STEP event:



I change "temp" to hold a number, and I just get the standard GM error message. If I disable error messages, nothing happens when the variable changes.

Thank you for the feedback, There seems to be a bug.

IceMetalPunk:
put the error_catch functions in the End step event, then try again.

OmegaDestroyer:
Ok, I will make an example soon.

I really don't know why this is happening, it lies somewhere deep inside GM's error reporting functions. You cannot detect an error right after you make one.

I will update the main post and the .gex's help file.

really sorry guys
