    Hello,

    I'm accustomed to the conditional breakpoints in C++ and C# in Visual Studio but I can't seem to be able to set them while debugging my Unity project in MonoDevelop, any idea ? I searched for "conditional breakpoint" on this forum and nothing came up.

    Here is a screenshot of controls for this but they are disabled, from reading Mono forums I discovered that the debugger needs to support them, well I hope the Unity debugger does :


    Thanks.

    Nobody uses this? Come on, that's pretty useful if you want to break on a particular instance of a Script on a particular GameObject :)

    I bounce this topic coz I'm also in need of such feature. Very often, I need to break in a special case, the case where it bugs, so for the moment I'm forced to add some lines of code to do that, which is quite painful... :-S

    I am also very interested in this feature. I have been searching for a while on this, but have not found any solution (can remember that it was supposed to be released with 3.5, but alas..)

    Maybe this is something for the wishlist?

    I'd also love to see this feature, particularly right now. :)

    did anybody ever figure this out? I could really use some conditional breakpoints, but it remains greyed out :(

    You have to set conditional breakpoint options before attaching to Unity Editor process. Those options are disabled after attaching. To change them you first have to detach...

    You should use this option in Monodevelop:

    Run -> Add Tracepoint

    Soooooooo...... still nothing? It's been 3 years, and this is a pretty basic debugging feature.

    It's working with the pluging unityvs (for using VS instead of MonoDevelop), but it's super slow... o_O

    For setting a conditional breakpoint in MonoDevelop.
    1. As nstajic already explained, "You have to set conditional breakpoint options before attaching to Unity Editor process"
    2. Right click on the breakpoint and go to Breakpoint Properties, then you get a dialog to set conditions and actions
