Development Console

Development console is used to execute static C# methods via in-game UI. To enable or disable the feature, use Enable Development Console property in the engine configuration. To keep the feature only under development (debug) builds, enable Debug Only Console in the same configuration menu.

To show the console UI while the game is running, make sure development console is enabled and press ~ (tilde) key. The key can be changed via input configuration under ToggleConsole binding.

To expose a C# method to the console, add a ConsoleCommand attribute to a static method. The attribute has an optional string argument, allowing to set a shortcut:

[ConsoleCommand("debug")]
public static void ToggleDebugInfo () => UI.DebugInfoGUI.Toggle();

In the console, type either full method name or the shortcut (if applied) and press Enter key to execute the method.

Following commands are currently available:

Command	Description
nav	Toggles naninovel script navigator UI.
debug	Toggles naninovel script debug window.
var	Toggles custom variable editor window.
purge	When Google Drive provider is used, purges the downloaded resources cache.
play	Starts executing currently loaded naninovel script.
stop	Halts execution of the currently loaded naninovel script.
rewind (int)	Rewinds currently loaded naninovel script to the provided line index. The line should be either a command or a generic text. When rewinding back, the line should exist in the rollback stack.
reload	Performs hot reload of the currently played naninovel script. Works only in Unity editor.

Executing Commands

You can invoke the script commands via development console. Input the command string just like you do in naninovel scripts and it will be immediately executed. Among other cases, this could be useful to debug custom state variables. Eg, you can print the current value of any custom variable with:

@print {VariableName}

— will print the value of the VariableName with the default printer.
