Console

UNIGINE console is used for standard input, output and error streams for the file loading, rendering system, audio and video systems, path-finding system, physics engine, file system and many others.

Can be opened in any UNIGINE-based application.

How to Open Console

A built-in console is called by pressing the grave accent (`) key, placed under the ESC key:

The console can be hidden by pressing the grave accent (`) key one more time. See how to assign another key here.

Console Operation

Console operation can be either command or variable:

  • Command is a directive to a console to perform a specific task.
  • Variable is an identifier that contains some stored value.

Command Syntax

Console command can take null, one or several arguments. The syntax is:

Source code
command_to_execute // null argument
command_to_execute argument // one argument
command_to_execute argument argument // two arguments

Hints

  • To see the current variable value, other acceptable values and short description, just type it and press the Enter key. For example, if you type the video_resizable variable, you get the following result:
    Source code
    video resizable toggle
    0 is non-resizable mode
    1 is resizable mode
    video_resizable = 1
  • To complete a command or variable name, just start typing first letters and press the TAB key until you get the required result.

How to Change the Console Opening Key

If you want to change the default grave accent (`) console turning on or off key, do one of the following actions:

  • Open the configuration file data/unigine.cfg and change the ASCII-based key code in the following line:
    Source code (XML)
    <item name="console_key" type="int">96</item>
