To allow a unified way for logging facilitating, e.g., debugging, please always use the Universal Logging plugin.
We provide predefined logging streams that you should use:
In every cpp class you have to #include "Helper/CharacterPluginLogging.h"
Then you can use streams for which macros are provided
| Stream | description |
|---|---|
| VH_LOG | used for general logging, which might be of interest for a user |
| VH_WARN | a warning, which should be fixed by the user (will be logged on screen in yellow) |
| VH_ERROR | an error, which is about to break the software (will be logged on screen in red) |
| VH_DEBUG | temporarily use for debugging your code (will be logged on screen in green) |
You can use the normal Unreal printf syntax to log variables etc., e.g.:
int AUNumber=42;
VH_WARN("Cannot activate AU %d\n", AUNumber);GetOwner(), otherwise use UniLog.LogF(LogName, "Message %s", ...) directly, where LogName is "VHLog", "VHWarn", "VHError" or "VHDebug". Or UniLog.Log("Message %s", LogName) if you do not want to print a variable.
Everything will be logged into ..\Saved\Logs\UniversalLogging.log and also the default Unreal log
