public static void LogError(object message);
public static void LogError(object message, Object context);

Parameters

messageString or object to be converted to string representation for display.
contextObject to which the message applies.

Description

A variant of Debug.Log that logs an error message to the console.

When you select the message in the console a connection to the context object will be drawn. This is very useful if you want know on which object an error occurs.

When the message is a string, rich text markup can be used to add emphasis. See the manual page about rich text for details of the different markup tags available.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MyGameClass : MonoBehaviour { private Transform transform;

void MyGameMethod() { if (transform == null) Debug.LogError("memberVariable must be set to point to a Transform.", transform); } }

Note that this pauses the editor when 'ErrorPause' is enabled.
