Workbench remote Console not executing code
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

I have followed this tutorial:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scripting_Example

However, I get no code errors when I run the game but I cannot get the "Remote Console" to run my script. I thought this might be a coding error but simply trying to execute a Print("Hello World"); also did not execute the code.

I have a world open and the debugger says it is connected. The debugger can also start and stop the game in the world editor window, its just the code that cannot execute. I put the game into run before trying to press the run button.

I have followed some guidance on Discord to restart the workbench a few times to get around it. However after 10 attempts I still could not get it to work. I've tried over a couple of days and again, I cannot get it to work.

I have tried multiple different projects just to make sure it wasn't the one that had got corrupted.

I am quite happy to send the log files over if this required.

Please see the attached image for my setup.

Ok, I have been working with Reyhard and Dedmen on discord - I had followed the scripting tutorial and it had missed out several important points. Reyhard has updated the wiki page for the scripting tutorial and it is now clear what needs to be done - this is to ensure you have one of the valid module folders created with the a script within it open within the scripting editor. If this is not done, no code is executed. The tutorial also missed the compile of the scripts once created if the file that was open was one the user had created. This then gives me a working console.

If you don't follow this, then the console doesn't execute the code and effectively silently fails so maybe this could be addressed?
