| // If you're in an infinite loop in Unity, it will hang, and you won't be able to hit the Play button to exit Play mode. | |
| // If you happen to be attached to the Visual Studio debugger, and if you can hit a breakpoint somewhere in the executing infinite loop, | |
| // You have hope! | |
| // You can use Immediate Window to issue a command that will break you out of the infinite loop | |
| // After the breakpoint is hit in Visual Studio, open up the Immediate Window (Debug->Windows->Immediate Window) | |
| // Type this command and hit enter: | |
| // DestroyImmediate(this); | |
| // It will give an error in Unity, and it will destroy the offending GameObject with all its scripts including the infinite loop script | |
| // But now you can hit the Play button to exit Play Mode. | |
| // Now fix that dang script before running it again! | |
