There is a Script Debugger item under the Tools menu. It combines 
debugger (step, trace) with Variable Watcher into one. Its GUI is 
different but the functionality basically parallel to HC. It allows 
to set breakpoints (debug checkpoints).

Script Editor is there but you must first launch MC and then open 
your stack to run MC in the developer mode. Double-clicking the stack 
opens MC in a Player mode.

Message Watcher is not part of MC but you can try my Message Watcher utility.

It does not fully replicate the MW of HC but you might find it useful anyway.
