Hi,

I've been following the tutorials by Intigriti's CryptoCat on YT, but I'm stuck at 4:12 in the Step 9, part 2 tutorial here.

The tutorial uses the Cave Crawler mini-game to demonstrate shared code. A breakpoint is set at a mov instruction, which is triggered when the player takes damage. At this point, 'step over' is clicked, and the code stops at the following sub instruction which gets highlighted blue - but this doesn't happen for me as seen in this brief video of my experience.

CryptoCat is at a loss to explain what is/isn't happening for me, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to explain.

Thanks.

N.B. Using CE 7.5 from official website.

You're probably hitting an edge case in CE's debugger. The same instruction is triggering two different breakpoints that tell CE to do two different things: you're telling CE to stop at the next instruction, while the data breakpoint is telling it to continue.
Click the "Stop" button in the "Find out what instructions access this address" window. Then try stepping over.

I can replicate this bug in the tutorial.

Maybe the find what accesses/writes dialog needs to be stopped first

Yes, stopping the 'Find out what ...' dialog solved the issue, which is odd as CryptoCat's is still running in the video.

So, is it best practice to stop the dialog when dealing with breakpoints, or is this likely just a one-off?
