Type mytype
	Field a$="You're running this in debug mode, aren't you?"
	
	Method methodfunction()
		Function thefunction()
			Print a
		End Function
		thefunction()
	End Method
End Type

Local test:mytype = New mytype
test.methodfunction()

This displays a short glitchy string for me. Calling a method rather than a value/string field will generate an exception.

I'm working around with this, just in case:

		Function thefunction(myself:mytype)
			Print myself.a
		End Function
		thefunction(Self)

^ Oh dang.
Well that's surprising, that glitch is getting really old O_o

The real problem here is that trying out this tactic without knowing there is something wrong there will force you to figure out by yourself what's going on manually because not only this won't tell you where it's crashing, but debug mode will also accept it as if there was no error most of the time.

As for my story behind this, I programmed this and many others functions as well and enabled debug to make sure i wasn't doing anything wrong, a day later I decided to remove it to check speed performance and this is how it happened :P
