API:LogDisplaySetEntryLimit

UI Lua API · LogDisplay functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Sets the maximum number of lines a LogDisplay keeps.

LogDisplaySetEntryLimit(logDisplayName, entryLimit)

Arguments

logDisplayName: string – Name of a LogDisplay window.
entryLimit: number – New maximum number of lines, 0 to 16384. Fractions are dropped.

Nothing.

A value below 0 or above 16384 is replaced by 16384 (not by 0).
If the display holds more lines than the new limit, the extra lines are removed from the display at once.
The entry limits of the text logs shown in the display are not changed; use TextLogSetEntryLimit for those.
If the limit does not change, nothing happens.
The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

These are written to the UI log; the call returns normally.
