In-Game Log Console

Description

GameMaker 2022+ Only. Previous GMS versions no longer supported. For any issues, questions, or suggestions please use the Contact Publisher link above.

This resource provides a one script, one object method for adding a customisable in-game log console to your projects.

Usage (minimum needed):

iglc_init();//change all the settings for the log console in this function

iglc_write(type,string1,[string2,...,stringN]);//use -1 for type if not writing log types, string1 to stringN can be any data type and will be converted to a string

iglc_show_dismiss();

iglc_draw_gui();

Includes:

• Set the size, position, colours, alpha, and font of the log console.
• Write the date in your preferred format to the log console, or not at all (e.g. 24/11/2020, 24-November-2020, Nov 24 2020...).
• Write the time in your preferred format to the log console, or not at all (e.g. 2:25:20PM, 14:25:20, 14-25-20...).
• Write the object that wrote the log to the log console, or not at all (e.g. @obj_player).
• Write the event the log was written from, or not at all (e.g. :Create).
• Write the type of log (customisable) to be written to the log console, colour-coded as you choose, or not at all (e.g. [INFO], [SUCCESS], [FAIL]).
• Write the single or multi-line log to the log console and optionally to the GMS Output Window.
• Save the log console to a text file including a count of log types (if writing log types).
