-				Assert that the [code]condition[/code] is [code]true[/code] . If the [code]condition[/code] is [code]false[/code] a fatal error is generated and the program is halted. Useful for debugging to make sure a value is always [code]true[/code].
+				Asserts that the [code]condition[/code] is [code]true[/code] . If the [code]condition[/code] is [code]false[/code], an error is generated and the program is halted until you resume it. Only executes in debug builds, or when running the game from the editor. Use it for debugging purposes, to make sure a statement is [code]true[/code] during development.
