# Messages & Logs LGSM has a message/logging framework to avoid painful syntax into scripts. Framework syntax is: `fn_print_whatever "This is your message"` If you want to replace the line afterwards, then reuse `fn_print_whatever`. If you want a new output on a new line, then use `fn_print_whatever_nl`. "nl" stands for "new line". **On-Screen - Automated functions** * \[ .... ] | fn\_print\_dots | fn\_print\_dots\_nl * \[ OK ] | fn\_print\_ok | fn\_print\_ok\_nl * \[ FAIL ] | fn\_print\_fail | fn\_print\_fail\_nl * \[ ERROR ] | fn\_print\_error | fn\_print\_error\_nl * \[ WARN ] | fn\_print\_warn | fn\_print\_warn\_nl * \[ INFO ] | fn\_print\_info | fn\_print\_info\_nl **On-Screen - Interactive messages** * Print $gamename $commandaction and jump some lines | fn\_print\_header (used at the beginning of a command) * Complete! |fn\_print\_complete | fn\_print\_complete\_nl * Failure! | fn\_print\_failure | fn\_print\_failure\_nl * Error! | fn\_print\_error2 | fn\_print\_error2\_nl * Warning! | fn\_print\_warning | fn\_print\_warning\_nl * Information! | fn\_print\_information | fn\_print\_information\_nl **On-Screen End of Line** * OK| fn\_print\_ok\_eol | fn\_print\_ok\_eol\_nl * FAIL | fn\_print\_fail\_eol | fn\_print\_fail\_eol\_nl * WARN | fn\_print\_warn\_eol | fn\_print\_warn\_eol\_nl * FAIL | fn\_print\_info\_eol | fn\_print\_info\_eol\_nl * QUERYING | fn\_print\_querying\_eol | fn\_print\_querying\_eol\_nl * CHECKING | fn\_print\_checking\_eol | fn\_print\_checking\_eol\_nl * CANCELED | fn\_print\_canceled\_eol | fn\_print\_canceled\_eol\_nl * REMOVED | fn\_print\_removed\_eol | fn\_print\_removed\_eol\_nl * UPDATE | fn\_print\_update\_eol | fn\_print\_update\_eol\_nl **Logging** Syntax: `fn_script_log "Message goes here."` Output: `## Feb 28 14:56:58 ut99-server: Monitor: Message goes here.` * Simple action log | fn\_script\_log * PASS (a successful test) | fn\_script\_log\_pass * FATAL (an error has interrupted LGSM) | fn\_script\_log\_fatal * ERROR | fn\_script\_log\_error * WARN | fn\_script\_log\_warn * INFO | fn\_script\_log\_info --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
