View source for Log Macro with Netmode and Colour

==Overview==
Macro that adds the current netmode and colour to logging, as well as making it easier to use.
<br/>Not recommended as a replacement for UE_LOG, but as a quick'n dirty tool for rapid iteration.

==Examples==
===Function logging===
Usage: 
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
void USomeClass::WithSomeFunction()
{
    TRACE("");
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Output:
<span style="color:#00FFFF; background:#000000">
<br/> LogYourCategory: [Standalone] USomeClass::WithSomeFunction() :  
</span>

===Variable logging===
Usage: 
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
void USomeClass::WithSomeFunction()
{
    TRACE("Name: %s, Health %d, DistanceToEnemy: %f", *PlayerName.ToString(), Health, GetDistance(EnemyLoc));
}
</syntaxhighlight>
Output:
<span style="color:#00FFFF; background:#000000">
<br/>LogYourCategory: [Client] USomeClass::WithSomeFunction() : Name: DudeGuy, Health 76, DistanceToEnemy: 128.0512 
</span>
