How to use custom defines?

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I setup the custom define named DEMO in the player settings but I am not sure how it works.
For example:

#if DEMO

	GUI.Label ( Rect ( 212, 200, 600, 50 ), "Disabled for this demo.", "menuHeadingStyle" );

#else
	// otherstuff
#endif

Now how do I tell the compiler its the demo?

If you write DEMO into “Scripting Define Symbols” box of the Player Settings - Other Settings, then the part within the #if DEMO block will be included with your game.

If you erase the text DEMO from “Scripting Define Symbols” the // otherstuff will happen instead.

Ah ok now I get how it works. It would be more logic to set this in the build dialog instead of under the player settings, because I would have to go add/remove custom defines there first before building the game.
