This Development Only function will not work in a shipped package build.
Overview
Print String will output the selected string onto the screen or the log while allowing the look and behavior to be modified. You have the option of where the string gets output: Onscreen, the Output Log, or both.
If the screen is enabled, you can change the color of the text, the length of time before it is removed, and whether to use an ID to overwrite multiple outputs.
- Color can be changed either by an input pin or by clicking on the color box and manually adjusting it.
- If no key is used, a new line will be created for each print function call.
Examples
New Lines
This will print on the BeginPlay event and show a new line of text for each call.
Overwritten
This will overwrite the line of text using the "Delta" key and only output to the screen.
