How could i make my own custom Dev output (F9 output)?

Asked by

Hello! So i've been looking all over the Roblox Dev forums even this site to find some sort of way to make your own Output but without success. I'm making it not because i want it to just look fancy but also to give other devs access to it. So what i want to do is basically the F9 console but my own that i can give to others.

By the way you don't need to include the whitelisting system because it's really easy to make on your own. I were just wondering if there is any way to make a custom F9 output.

Thanks in advance! -Derzett

You can certainly bind a gui being enabled to the F9 key, though how much of the dev console are you trying to recreate, the whole thing or just a portion? ROBLOX does have a scriptable mini dev console which you can allow all players to access SerpentineKing 3885 — 5y

First lets talk about reading the output.

The best way to go about this is using the handy LogService Roblox provides. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/LogService

There is only one function and one event for this service: GetHistoryLog(), our only function. "Returns a table of tables, each of which corresponds to something which has been displayed in the output"

And we have our only event, MessageOut(message , messageType ).

This fires whenever text is added to the output.

I'm sure you could disable the Developer console using :SetCore() https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/StarterGui/SetCore

And using the UserInputService will probably allow you to bind a GUI to pop up when you press F9. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/UserInputService

Exploiters can manipulate anything clientside, so unless you have some epic security installed for this GUI, don't do it for a big game. We don't want exploiters to have an easier way of seeing how your code works.
