Debugging

The Console

Open Scripts and choose the Console tab. It shows output from:

• swizzin.log(...) (and print(...))
• swizzin.warn(text)
• swizzin.error(text)
• errors raised by your script

Console output is separate from chat windows. It is capped at 50 lines per callback, and values that look like passwords are masked.

Errors

A Luau error inside a callback is caught and written to the Console with the script name and line number. The script keeps running. After 10 failures in a row the script is stopped.

A callback that runs longer than 250 ms, or a script that exceeds its memory limit, is aborted the same way.

Dropped events

If a script is too slow to keep up, events beyond its queue of 256 are dropped. The Script Manager shows how many.

Checking an action was refused

Actions can be refused for these reasons:

• the permission was not approved,
• there was no network context, or the network name matched no network or more than one,
• the text was empty, longer than 2000 characters, or contained a line break,
• the text looked like an authentication command,
• the send rate limit was exceeded.

The reason appears in the Console.

Stopped (unresponsive)

A script that stays busy for 4 seconds is abandoned and marked Stopped (unresponsive). Anything it later tries to do is ignored. Fix the script and turn it on again; restart SwizzinIRC to release the abandoned thread.
