Description

Logs message to the Unity Console.

When you select the message in the console a connection to the context object will be drawn. This can be useful for locating the object on which 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.

// Message with a link to an object.
Debug.Log ("Hello", gameObject);

// Message using rich text. Debug.Log("<color=red>Fatal error:</color> AssetBundle not found");
