I need to debug my game, but as I used teleport I can’t debug it inside Studio.
So I have to resort to this terrible and limited Console Output Log from Roblox Player.
As I have a lot of multilevel tables, it’s very difficult to find something inside the console.
So I thought of copying the contents from the console to the clipboard.
But that is also not possible.
So I thought of LogService:GetLogHistory to get everything there and save it to a local file so I can search the result inside a text editor.
But I don’t see how to save this result to a local file.
Could anyone tell me how to do this?
I might be wrong or misguided but isn’t this not possible for security and sandboxing reasons?
The only way to do this is with plugins.
If i remember correctly, Plugin:PromptSaveSelection
Insert a script, force select it, call this function with the argument of “log.lua”, and there you go.
Unfortunately theres no txt file exportinf, try lua.
Quick function.
local function saveLog(name,str)
local script = Instance.new("Script")
script.Source = str
script.Parent = workspace
game.Selection:Set({script})
return plugin:PromptSaveSelection(name)
end
--plugin
local button = plugin:CreateToolbar("Save output as log.lua"):CreateButton("Save","Saves the output as log.lua","")
button.Click:Connect(function()
saveLog("log.lua",game.HttpService:JSONEncode(game.LogService:GetLogHistory()))
end)
Please mark as solution if it hwlped
edit : did lots of edit and im unsure if it works, but it should give you an idea to do this.

You can save it to DataStoreService, then read it in studio (there’s a game setting to allow studio access.) Or you can copy it out of a text box.

Thanks, but when I run this, I get:
Workspace.Script:10: attempt to index nil with ‘CreateToolbar’
Stack Begin
Script ‘Workspace.Script’, Line 10
Stack End
Nono, save it as plugin, dont run it as a normal script.
Oh, sure.
It’s creating a file.
However, it’s also creating a local script every time I call the plugin:
Ah, let me edit this code real quick.
local function saveLog(name,str)
local script = Instance.new("Script")
script.Source = str
script.Parent = workspace
game.Selection:Set({script})
local res = plugin:PromptSaveSelection(name)
script:Destroy()
return res
end
--plugin
local button = plugin:CreateToolbar("Save output as log.lua"):CreateButton("Save","Saves the output as log.lua","")
button.Click:Connect(function()
saveLog("log.lua",table.concat(game.LogService:GetLogHistory()))
end)
enjoy

Please give me a moment.
local function saveLog(name,str)
local script = Instance.new("Script")
script.Source = str
script.Parent = workspace
game.Selection:Set({script})
local res = plugin:PromptSaveSelection(name)
script:Destroy()
return res
end
local function strfromtable(tbl)
local ret = {}
for _,v in pairs(tbl) do
table.insert(ret,v.message)
end
return table.concat(ret)
end
--plugin
local button = plugin:CreateToolbar("Save output as log.lua"):CreateButton("Save","Saves the output as log.lua","")
button.Click:Connect(function()
saveLog("log.lua",strfromtable(game.LogService:GetLogHistory()))
end)
