Title: S-expression output
Post by: headdie on July 03, 2009, 04:37:00 pm: Hi

Not entirely sure where to put this as it could easily turn into a suggestion for later SCP builds.

Is there a way to get the game to output data from the expression as they work in real time to a HTML/txt file? which sumerises events and then shows the detail of each check against that event.

I imagine the output looking something like (where event # replace with the event name)

Summery of (Mission file name)

Code: [Select]
Mission Briefing Event B1 condition Times Evaluated - 1 Times true - 0 ;--------------------------------- Mission Events Event E1 condition Action Times Evaluated - 1 Times true - 1 Event E2 condition Action Times Evaluated - 1 Times true - 0 Event E3 condition Action Times Evaluated - 2 Times True - 1 ;--------------------------------- Mission Objectives Event O1 condition Times Evaluated - 6 Times true - 1 ;--------------------------------- Mission Debrefing Event D1 condition Times Evaluated - 1 Times true - 1 ;--------------------------------- ;--------------------------------- Details Event B1 Evaluated – Briefing Reason – Requested by briefing Result – False Reason - GTC_Minnow = 0 in campaign variable Event E1 Evaluated – Mission Time 36 seconds Reason – Run if GTT Harrison Destroyed Result – True Reason – GTT Harrison Destroyed Event E2 Evaluated – Mission end Reason – Run if GTT Harrison Departs Result – Incomplete Reason – GTT Harrison Depart = 0 Event E3 Evaluated – Mission Time 60 Seconds Reason – Run event every 60 seconds Reason – NTD Tyranny not Departed Reason – NTD Tyranny not Destroyed Result – False Reason – Run event every 60 seconds Reason – NTD Tyranny not Departed Reason – NTD Tyranny not Destroyed Evaluated – Mission Time 120 Seconds Reason – Run event every 60 seconds Result – True Reason – NTD Tyranny Hits Remaining < 50% Event O1 Evaluated – Mission Time 30 Seconds Reason – Run event every 30 seconds Reason – Beta Not Arrived Result – False Reason – Beta Not In system Evaluated – Mission Time 60 Seconds Reason – Run event every 30 seconds Reason – Beta Not Arrived Result – False Reason – Beta Not In system Evaluated – Mission Time 90 Seconds Reason – Run event every 30 seconds Reason – Beta Not Arrived Result – False Reason – Beta Not In system Evaluated – Mission Time 120 Seconds Reason – Run event every 30 seconds Reason – Beta Not Arrived Result – False Reason – Beta Not In system Evaluated – Mission Time 150 Seconds Reason – Run event every 30 seconds Reason – Beta Not Arrived Result – False Reason – Beta Not In system Evaluated – Mission Time 180 Seconds Reason – Run event every 30 seconds Reason – Beta Not Arrived Result – True Reason – Beta In system Event D1 Evaluated – Mission end Reason – Requested by debrief Result – True Reason – NTD Tyranny Departed End output
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea, but could get very ugly very fast when you have events with a sufficiently high repeat count (or every-time'd ones).

that was the big issue that came to mind while setting this up the only workaround I can think of is if the output throws them to the bottom of the file so at least you don't have to trawl through it to find something else.
