Hey there! Check out this handy in-game dev console I made for Godot. It's super easy to set up and perfect for debugging multiplayer games.
You know how the built-in console kinda jumbles everything together? Well, mine separates the console outputs for each instance, making multiplayer debugging way easier.
Give it a try and see how much smoother your development process can be!
- Simple setup and usage
- Print anything in console using Console.print()
- Define custom commands for your game
- Navigate previous commands with ease using the arrow keys
- Toggle the console with the press of the
~key
- Add the repo as a submodule anywhere in your project
git submodule add git@github.com:rootKot/godot4-dev-console.gitNow you will have Console.tscn in that godot4-dev-console folder
- Drag and drop the
Console.tscninside your scene node. From the inspector you can set is the console should be visible by default when runing the project
- Use
~key to open/close the console (It is actually ` key) - Type
helpand press Enter, to see available commands - For printing something in the console use Console.print() instead of print()
Console.print('Hello world')
Console.print('This is my variable', my_variable)
Console.print('I', 'can', 'pass', 'up', 'to', 12, 'params') Console.add_command(
command_name: String,
function: Callable,
function_arguments_if_needed: Array[String],
description_to_show_in_help: String
) Console.add_command(
'set_player_pos',
_set_player_pos,
['float', 'float'],
'Set player pos. Ex. set_player_pos 100 50'
)
func _set_player_pos(x: float, y: float):
position = Vector2(x, y) Console.add_command(
'is_player_can_move',
func(val: bool): _is_player_can_move = val,
['bool'],
'set if player can move. Ex. is_player_can_move false'
) Console.remove_command('is_player_can_move')- Implement Autocomplete functionality
- Add checkbox to select if the console should be available in release build
