Is it possible to debug (breakpoints, watch vars) scripts belonging to script extentions?

Hi,   I need to debug the source code I wrote for a script extention (in vbscript). I followed the hints suggested here: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/extending/scr...

Once the extension is encapsulated into the TCX file and "consumed" by test complete, you don't have any debugging capabilities of it.

 

What I do is I have a separate TC project where I do all my script extension development and test out my methods and objects using the debugger built into TC that way.

You mean that (even if unpacked) if the source code is "loaded" as a script extension it is not possible to debug it, whereas I need to use that code as just simple vbscript code  (added as script in the test project) and then tested by calling single functions?!
