trace

trace(message, [color=15])

Parameters

• message : the string to print.
• color : a color index (0..15)

Description

This is a service function, useful for debugging. It prints the supplied string or variable to the console in the (optional) color specified.

Tips:

1. The Lua concatenation operator is .. (two periods)
2. Use the console cls command to clear the output from trace
3. Simple variables are automatically converted to strings

Example

-- trace demo
cls()
function TIC()
	trace('Hello console:'..time())
	trace('This text is blue',8)
end
