Access[]

While playing a mission from the editor, the console is immediately available in pause menu.

In editor map screen, you can open in by clicking on "Debug Console" button or using Ctrl+D shortcut.

Configuration[]

The console is automatically available in missions running from editor. If mission designer wishes to enable it elsewhere, he can achieve it using following Description.ext param:

enableDebugConsole = 1;

Values:

  • 0: Default behavior, available only in editor
  • 1: Available in SP and for hosts / logged in admins
  • 2: available for everyone

Alternatively, you can add "\a3\functions_f\Params\paramDebugConsole.hpp" mission parameter, where server host / admin can set whether he'll allow debug console. The parameter has priority over the description.ext attribute.

Features[]

  • Expression field
    • Value is saved when console is closed and restored again upon return
    • The expression can be executed by one of the following buttons:
  • 4x Watch field
    • Value is saved when console is closed and restored again upon return
    • When code is taking too long to evaluate (>0.003s), the background turns orange and the value is not saved
  • Buttons (all of the close the pause menu and open some another window)

Profile Saving[]

The debug console automatically saves each field as you go, Even after game restart. These can also be access using profileNamespace getVariable with the following code:

  • Expression Field

profileNamespace getVariable "rscdebugconsole_expression";

  • 4x Watch Field

profileNamespace getVariable "rscdebugconsole_watch1"; profileNamespace getVariable "rscdebugconsole_watch2"; profileNamespace getVariable "rscdebugconsole_watch3"; profileNamespace getVariable "rscdebugconsole_watch4"; Using the same variables you can also clear or change the fields.
