Unigine::Console Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineConsole.h> |
Controls console-related parameters.
Onscreen Console Overlay#
By default the console overlay is disabled. To make it output console messages to the application screen it should be enabled. You can adjust the overlay’s behavior and appearance as well as specify the messages that will be printed exclusively to the onscreen overlay and will not be written to the console.
Onscreen Overlay with custom parameters and colored text
You can customize the console font by using the setFontSize(), setMessageColor(), setWarningColor(), and setErrorColor() methods. See the following example:
AppWorldLogic.cpp (C++)
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineConsole.h>
using namespace Unigine;
int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
// enable the onscreen overlay
Console::setOnscreen(true);
// increase the size of the console's font
Console::setFontSize(20);
// change the color for different types of messages
Console::setMessageColor(Unigine::Math::vec4_green);
Console::setWarningColor(Unigine::Math::vec4_red);
Console::setErrorColor(Unigine::Math::vec4_blue);
// send messages to the console
Log::message("Message!\n");
Log::warning("Warning!\n");
Log::error("Error!\n");
return 1;
}Adding Console Command with Several Arguments#
The Console class can be used to create custom user console commands with a different number of arguments. This section provides an example of how to create a custom console command with several arguments.
Prior Knowledge
It is supposed that you have already created an empty C++ project by using UNIGINE SDK Browser.
In the example below, we perform the following actions:
- Define and implement AppWorldLogic instance methods for console commands.
- Get the console instance (which has a singleton implementation) and add a new command.
1. Adding Instance Methods
In this example, we define three methods in the AppWorldLogic.h header file — one as a callback for a console command and another two methods for actions depending on the number of arguments:
Source code (C++)
/* ... */
class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic
{
public:
AppWorldLogic();
/* ... */
private:
// choose the method to run on the console command call
void choose_command(int argc, char** argv);
// perform an action if there are no arguments
void action_no_args();
// perform another action if an argument was passed
void action_one_arg(const char* s);
};- choose_command() selects the appropriate method.
- action_no_args() is called if there are no console arguments.
- action_one_arg() is called if an argument was passed.
In the AppWorldLogic.cpp file implement recently defined methods:
Source code (C++)
// check the number of arguments and call the corresponding method
void AppWorldLogic::choose_command(int argc, char** argv) {
for (int i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
Log::message("arg[%d]: %s\n", i, argv[i]);
}
// note: the first element of argv is the name of console command
if (argc == 1) {
action_no_args();
}
else if (argc == 2) {
action_one_arg(argv[1]);
}
// for more arguments:
//else if (...) {
// // etc
//}
}
// write the message into console, if there are no arguments
void AppWorldLogic::action_no_args() {
Log::message("first action! no arguments!\n");
}
// write the message into console, if an argument was passed
void AppWorldLogic::action_one_arg(const char* s) {
Log::message("second action! the argument is:%s \n", s);
}Arguments argc and argv are used to get the arguments count and arguments vector.
Notice
The first element of argv always keeps the name of a console command. Thus, argc is always >= 1. To get the first passed argument, you should use argv[1].
2. Adding Custom Console Command
Add custom command to the AppWorldLogic.cpp file by using addCommand() function. By adding this code into AppWorldLogic::init() function, the engine adds a new console command on AppWorldLogic class instance initialization.
Source code (C++)
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineConsole.h>
#include <UnigineCallback.h>
using namespace Unigine;
int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
// get the existing singleton Console instance and add a command
Console::addCommand(
"console_action",
"Performs custom console action",
MakeCallback(this, &AppWorldLogic::choose_command)
);
return 1;
}3. Running Sample
After building the project, run it and open the console. Write recently created command to see the result:
Output
#if you write "console_action"
arg[0]: console_action
first action! no arguments!
#if you write "console_action arg"
arg[0]: console action
arg[1]: arg
second action! the argument is:argTo remove the added console command, use removeCommand() method.
