Developer Console

The C# API Provides easy-to-use methods of interacting with the Developer Console.

Logging to the Console

The Console can be written to via the DeveloperConsole class. This class provides three Logging methods: Msg(), which logs a simple white message; Warning(), which logs a yellow message; and Error() which logs a red message.

DeveloperConsole.Msg("White Logging Message");
DeveloperConsole.Warning("Yellow Warning Message");
DeveloperConsole.Error("Red Error Message");

Console Commands

Registering a ConCommand can be done through applying the [ConCommand] attribute to a static method.

[ConCommand("my_command")]
static void MyCommand()
{
    DeveloperConsole.Msg("Hello World!");
}

Console Variables

Registering a ConVar can be done through applying the [ConVar] attribute to a static property.

[ConVar("my_convar")]
public static string MyConvar { get; set; } = "My Awesome Convar";

Flags

Console Variables support unique behaviour through the ConVarFlag enum. To apply a flag, include it in the ConVar constructor like so:

// Create a ConVar with the 'Save' Flag
[ConVar("my_convar", ConVarFlag.Save)]
public static string MyConvar { get; set; } = "My Awesome Convar";

Flag	Purpose
Save	Enables the ConVar's value to persist between games.
