This function intelligently outputs debug messages into the Debug Console. It is similar to outputDebugString, but outputs useful information for any variable type, and does not require use of Lua's tostring. This includes information about element types, and table structures. It is especially useful for quick debug tasks.

Syntax

bool iprint ( mixed var1, mixed var2, mixed var3... )
Required Arguments
  • var1: A variable of any type to print intelligent information for.
  • var2: MISSING_PARAM_DESC
  • var3...: MISSING_PARAM_DESC

Returns

  • bool: value

Always returns nil .

Code Examples

This example prints some sample debug messages, assuming the server is running a typical freeroam/play environment:

function resourceStartNotify ( resourcename )
  -- Example of outputting tables, and elements directly
  iprint(getElementsByType("player"))
  iprint(getElementsByType("vehicle"))
  -- Example of outputting multiple items at once
  iprint("this resource:",getThisResource(),"state:",getResourceState(getThisResource()),"resource root:",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()))
end
addEventHandler( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), resourceStartNotify )
