9.8.3 console - console( value, "string")

The console function sends all arguments to the console app of your system and they will be displayed. You can put as many value and string arguments into the console function as you like:

console( "on frame ", frame, " the value of the Cubes X Position is ", Cube.Position.X )

will print out a string to the console app where you can read out the value of "Cube.Position.X" for each frame of the animation:

...
on frame 10 the value of the Cubes X Position is 30.456725
on frame 11 the value of the Cubes X Position is 31.678984
...

On OSX use the console application in the utility directory in the applications directory.

On Windows you can get a utility here http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml. Look for a utility called DebugView.

This is not supported for OS9 since we have not found an app that will allow us to do this.
