Extensions

Comprehensive Printing

The .PrintFormatted() extension method outputs all public properties and fields of any object, including nodes, providing a detailed snapshot of the object's state.

// Prints results with GD.Print()
node.PrintFormatted();
array.PrintFormatted();

// .ToFormattedString() may be desired if you don't want to use GD.Print()
Game.Log(node.ToFormattedString());
Game.Log(array.ToFormattedString());
