print("Your text goes here");

Place them before and after functions/calls ect, or wherever you like within your lua.

Also, if you want to get variables from your code:

print("Variable",  ivariable );

print("variable 1",  ivariable1,  "variable 2",  ivariable2 );

Thanks you all, but where will i see the print result ?

It will be in the lua log
also if you use firetuner you can see it while game is running (lua panel)

Where is the lua log to be found ?

i don't know anything about firetuner, do you know where i can learn how to use it ?

C:\Users\YourComputer\Documents\my games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Logs

firetuner for VI is not out yet, but the one for V worked for somethings.
If you don't have it, you can look on steam- click on library - tools and look for civ v sdk
If all your doing is using it to monitor lua output, there isn't much you need to learn. Just start it, it should connect to game, if not there is a connection option at top.

You do have to own Civ 5 to be able to acess the SDK on Steam.

Thanks for you help !

Firetuner doesn't connect.

i have tried to click on Change Connection, the dialog is giving me this ip and port: 127.0.0.1 : 4318

Is this correct ? when i click connect, nothing is happening.

any idea ?

Sorry, forgot you have to enable tuner.
look in AppOptions for :

[Debug]
;Enable FireTuner.
EnableTuner 0

and change to 1
(same directory log and mod folders are in)

Think there may also be option on options page, can't recall
