 ==== Script Trace ====
-Use the command ''*scripttrace [mode]'' to activate the script trace functionality. When this is on, as the server runs through each line of script code it will print out what its doing. Sometimes this is useful just to confirm which lines of script are running (e.g. to confirm that you are actually triggering the event you thought you were triggering). Sometimes the script trace will also show when a line fails to execute because its not formatted correctly (or etc).

 ==== Ask around ====
-There are lots of quirks and limitations of the game's custom scripting language, some of which are obscure and largely indefensible :].  Sometimes you'll have to resort to the last resort and ask someone to help. If you're signed up for the game's patreon you'll have channels there with other folk who might be able to help. Otherwise try posting about your issue on the game's discussion channels on steam.
