# Compiler - Include Files

The **Compiler** area is the last on this screen, located below the **Scripting** pane.

Once code has been entered into the tabs in the **Scripting** area, it should be checked for errors.

As this script code is built independently of any **Map** or other custom scripting, only the syntax will be checked for accuracy when performing a **Test Compile**, by right-clicking anywhere in the script window and selecting **Test Compile** from the pop-up list of options.

Depending on where it is called or used, since the context may be different when the **Include File** is actually used in a **Map**, this **Test Compile** check does not fully checked the code for complete validity. Any final and in-depth code checks will be done when it is pasted and used in an actual **Map** or custom script. So the script may pass scrutiny when in the **Include File** module, but fail when actually run.

If any script fails this **Test Compile**, then correct any errors requiring attention, and then re-test.

**Test Compile** can be run as many times as required, without penalty.

Once you are satisfied with the code, then it can be **Saved**.
