Can someone remind me what the command is to clear the console log?

...I've used the command a thousand times to clear the log when in the mod editor, but for the past several months I've only needed to hit the up arrow to just repeat my last command.

Sadly, My game lost its memory of past commands, and for the life of me I can't remember what the command is. It's something like "ClearConsolelog" but that's not quite right.

Any help appreciated. Getting old sucks, the memory is the first thing to go.

F9 :) It is in the section "Use the in-game console" of "Advanced modding tips" guide

Thank you! I looked in there but without a search function I didn't find it. Thanks for telling me exactly where to look.

Search is broken here on Steam as well (at least for me), because I know I learned it here in the first place. No matter what I search for on Steam I get 0 results right now.

Edit: F9...which is not what I used to use, I used to type something. But a hotkey for it is so much better.

I found my notes of what the command to type that I originally asked about is and am just posting it here so the answer will come up if anyone else (or myself) ever searches for it again.

DestroyConsoleLog

F9 does the same thing, and is much more convenient. So I'm going to keep using that instead. Still thought I'd make a record of the actual command here.

DestroyConsoleLog would actually destroy the UI related to the log text. F9 is calling the function:

function cls() -- Clear console log if dlgConsoleLog then dlgConsoleLog:ClearText() end end

Interesting, that explains why nothing ever showed up in that log after I used that command (until a restart). That makes destroyconsolelog actually still useful (to me, anyway) for those times when I just want it out of the way and don't plan to need it again for that session.

when I forget it I use
for _ = 1, 100 do print() end
:D
PS: which won't have the destroy effect if you just want the text out of the way

LOL, are you an engineer? That's definitely an over-engineered solution.

P.S. I love it.
