Does anyone use breakpoints when debugging?

In all my years of working with Construct I think I've successfully used breakpoints less than a dozen times. I feel like in 99% cases whenever I'm trying to add a breakpoint in an event, the editor doesn't allow me to do so. And even when it does, half of the times the breakpoint is never triggered.

Has anyone had any luck with breakpoints? Am I doing something wrong, or is it just a useless feature?

I haven’t used them but that was mainly because the debugger didn’t let you step through loops and sub events or per condition and per action. Maybe that has since changed, but at this point I’ve resorted to other debugging methods.

I use them as a last resort, but never really had much trouble getting them to trigger!

I do find them kinda finnicky though, like getting out of breakpoint mode and returning to the editor. The amount of times I've wished for a step-through is about as many times as I've actually used breakpoints, so I do think they could be better.

But yeah, I tend to avoid the debugger as much as possible, generally rolling my own for most things.

Hi. I keep forgetting about them. I very often use the debug mode and pause with my hands.

Ah, yes, clicking 100 times to step past a loop is super fun.. (not)

One example is a breakpoint inside a function that returns a value. You can add it, but it never triggers.

I have tried,it never worked for me.

I had some of the same issues mentioned above, but I use them fairly often and lately without much trouble. It can be super helpful.
