Synopsis

Quake-style console plugin for Unity3d. Toggle the console by pressing tilde (~).

Screenshot

Installation

1. Copy the Console directory to your Assets/Plugins folder. (Make the plugins folder if it doesn't exist.)
2. Drag the console prefab into your scene.
3. Run your scene and press ~ to launch the console.
4. Now register some custom commands

Registering custom commands

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ConsoleCommandRouter : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start () {
        var repo = ConsoleCommandsRepository.Instance;
        repo.RegisterCommand("save", Save);
        repo.RegisterCommand("load", Load);
    }

    public string Save(params string[] args) {
        var filename = args[0];
        new LevelSaver().Save(filename);
        return "Saved to " + filename;
    }

    public string Load(params string[] args) {
        var filename = args[0];
        new LevelLoader().Load(filename);
        return "Loaded " + filename;
    }
}

The string returned from the console command will be written to the in-game console log. Insert newlines in your response to have multiple lines be written to the log.

Logging

var logger = ConsoleLog.Instance;
logger.Log("Player died")

Logs to the in-game console.
