Enabling File Logging In-Game

KiwoTez

I'm trying to enable file logging only if a specific debug code is entered, though I can't get it working. Logging works just fine if I enable it from the project settings window but it won't create a log file if I enable it through code:

Example:

func _ready():
	print(ProjectSettings.get_setting("logging/file_logging/enable_file_logging"))
	# prints "False"
	ProjectSettings.set("logging/file_logging/enable_file_logging", true)
	print(ProjectSettings.get_setting("logging/file_logging/enable_file_logging"))
	# prints "True"
	# ...but it doesn't create a log file, no matter if i disable it later or not

Any thoughts? Or would you suggest an alternative method for logging?

Many project settings are only read when the project starts, which means that modifying them at run-time won't have any effect. You can set project settings before the project starts by creating a project settings override file; see this GitHub issue comment for details.

Thank you. I guess I will just write some variables to a text file instead.
