Title: Where the heck is the trace log?
Post by: Endif on August 10, 2019, 02:52:57 AM
How do I view the tracelog?

Code Select

once
    ShowTraceLog
    ClearTraceLog
    5 0 do
       I Trace
    loop
endonce


I don't see the tracelog anywhere on my screen. I'm assuming it should appear in-game, yes?

Did you follow steps on this guide yet? It can advice you about starting your CRPL coding.

I have, yes. Specifically the part labelled "Using the tracelog and further introduction of a stack language", but it doesn't say where to actually view the tracelog or how to access it in-game. I might just be seriously over-looking something or being a complete dummy, but I'm not seeing anything.

Tracelog works when you play "In-Game" on the map editor, right?

After placing CRPLCore and putting script to it, you have to unpause game to make trace log visible, please try it? :)

Yes. I have already a fully working CRPL script that I have been working on for some time now. There is one aspect of it I decided to use the TraceLog to help me keep track of certain information while developing the map.

Code Select

once
9000 delay
9000 SetTimer0
        ShowTraceLog
        ClearTraceLog
        5 0 do
           I Trace
        loop
endonce

Is a snippet of the first 9 lines in the script...... And as I typed that sentence I realized the problem.... The tracelog won't appear until after 9000 frames. *cough* Excuse me while I show myself out.

Thanks. :)

That 9000 delay is probably the problem, (5 minutes) in a once-endonce block..
I know delay and once-endonce sometimes do things "differently"

Good to hear that you solved this problem, please don't hesitate to ask if you are unsure about something. :) :)
