Preprocessor variables

If you're developing for multiple platforms, you often need to write custom code for each platform. In most cases, the best way to do this is to use Platform.Platform and GPUDevice.RendererType. Alternatively, you can use preprocessor variables which come heandy when you need to add editor-only code or compiled for selected platforms.

Example

public override void OnStart()
{
#if FLAX_EDITOR
    Debug.Log("Ups! It's Editor!");
#else
}
