Ingame Scroll View about unity-file-debug HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Michael,

thanks for the feedback! I think this should be quite easy to do, I'm thinking the Unity File Debug prefab will get a reference to a UI Text component. If set it will append the output. Is this something like you were thinking?

Sounds good, maybe use a scroll view text rather than just a text component for a better overview/scrolling with a lot of Debug output.

After investigating this I think its outside of the scope of this repository. It can be very quick that a Scroll Rect / UI Text component fills up with logs and will start to error out like so

ArgumentException: Mesh can not have more than 65000 vertices
UnityEngine.UI.VertexHelper.FillMesh

and

String too long for TextMeshGenerator. Cutting off characters.
UnityEngine.Canvas:SendWillRenderCanvases()

A proper solution I would expect needs something like occlusion culling. One of the goals of this repository is to be small, and easy to understand and hack yourself. I think adding something like this in is only going to complicate things for most users. I will paste the code I did in an experiment incase you want to do this yourself (it was using Text on a Scroll Rect)

// UnityFileDebug/Lib/Logger/Scripts/UnityFileDebug.cs
using UnityEngine.UI;
...
public Text uiTextOutput;
...
Application.logMessageReceived += HandleLog;

if (uiTextOutput != null)
{
    uiTextOutput.text = "";
    Application.logMessageReceived += OutputLogToText;
}
...
void OutputLogToText(string logString, string stackTrack, LogType type)
{
    uiTextOutput.text += logString;
}

// UnityFileDebug/Lib/Logger/Editor/UnityFileDebugEditor.cs
...
SerializedProperty uiTextOutput;
GUIContent uiTextOutputContent;
...
uiTextOutputContent = new GUIContent
{
    text = "UI Text Output",
    tooltip = "Unity UI Text component"
};
...
uiTextOutput = serializedObject.FindProperty("uiTextOutput");
...
EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(uiTextOutput, uiTextOutputContent);
