Console
The Console feature captures runtime log messages and displays them in a filterable list with optional stack traces and search. It is the in-build equivalent of viewing logs without the Unity Editor.
Overview
- Purpose: Capture and inspect Log, Warning, and Error messages at runtime, with search, filters, and stack traces.
- UI: Toolbar (Clear, Collapse, Error Pause, search), list of entries, and a resizable detail panel (message + stack trace).
- Source: Uses
Application.logMessageReceived(main thread only) so entries are not duplicated.
