Options

Clear - Clears messages, warnings, and errors.

Collapse - Similar messages can be collapsed, resulting in one full message and the number of instances to the right. When not collapsed, the full message appears repeatedly.

Clear on Play - When on, past messages are cleared when Play is clicked

Error Pause - When selected, the game will pause when it encounters an error. This helps for errors that aren't big enough to "break" the visuals of the game and might get buried in Console messages.

Editor (Dropdown) - Provides more options about what messages are displayed.

Search - Results will appear and the term will be highlighted in blue. Click the x on the right side of the bar to clear the search.

Count - Number of messages, warnings, and errors. You can toggle these by clicking on the type you want to hide or show.
