Rebuilding Scripts In Play Mode
When you working on a application/game Force allows to you manually or automatically rebuild/recompile script project in three ways.
Rebuild And Continue Play is default behaviour for Force, and will allows to you automatically or manually recompile script project in play mode. When rebuilding is finished all changes in scripts will apply on current gameplay session immediately. Also you need to understand that not all objects can be changed dynamically, and sometimes you can see error that shows on the Console and stop the game. For more information see Events In Script page.
Stop Playing And Rebuild is behaviour that Force will stop the game session automatically or when you click on Build button and then rebuild script project.
Wait Until Stops And Rebuild is behaviour that when you click on Build button, Force will wait until user stop the game session, and only then rebuild script project.
Disable Auto Rebuild will simply disable automatically rebuild script project at runtime, and only way to rebuild script project will be in editor mode.
