Logging game events to text file

[seanmcnally]

Thanks for your reply!  To clarify what I meant in my last sentence, I'm talking about a physical space in the real world.  I have RGB lights that can be controlled via UDP, and I intend to use Chataigne to read the text file and change the lights when a particular item is used (quick flash on and off a few times for lightning, RGB scroll for star). 

It looks like I actually figured out how to do what I need, by simply adding a breakpoint in Dolphin with the instruction "Write to Log".  Then, under the log tab, check "Write To File", and Chataigne can just read the .log file from there and use its own logic to change my lights.  The only thing left is figuring out where an "item used" breakpoint is...any hints?

for what you've described in your final sentence, you wouldn't need that information kept in a text file. You can write up a code that keeps that information into an allocated portion of memory, and then another code can read those memory contents and know how to modify the arena lights based on the memory contents (items being used) present.

I assume you thought I was talking about a virtual arena? Unless you're suggesting something different, in which case I'm all ears.  Thanks again for your kind response!
