How to use the Print() command

Jump back to quoted post14 May 2019, 07:14 AMjcbarth

I'm currently using Sublime Text to edit my SCAR code, but I am unable to get the Print() function to return the values I am trying to track. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this set up? Would make debugging so much easier.

    _G.print = {

        cache = ''

    }



    setmetatable(_G.print, {

        __call = function(self, ...)

            local args = {...}

            for index = 1, #args do

                self.cache = self.cache..tostring(args[index])..'\t'

            end

            self.cache = self.cache..'\n'

            PersistentMode_SerializeResults('userdata:logs/scarlog.txt', self.cache)

        end

    })

it's not python
WriteLn('Hello world');

GameObj::OnFatalScarError: [[string "DATA:Scenarios\city_centre_2.scar"]:23: attempt to call global 'PersistentMode_SerializeResults' (a nil value)]

Scar_AddInit(function()

    -- put code here

end)

When the game engine reads your *.scar file, anything in the global scope will be immediately called. This may cause problems as some functions are not meant to be used until the game has loaded up all of its components.

The function Scar_AddInit( FunctionName ) can be used to kick off your script. This tells the game engine "When you are ready, call the function FunctionName first."
