Enum LogCategory

Defines the subsystem categories used to classify log messages within the Scylla framework.

Namespace: Scylla.Core

Assembly: ScyllaCore.dll

Syntax

public enum LogCategory

Remarks

Pass a LogCategory value as the second argument to any Log method to tag the message with a subsystem label. The Log class converts the value to a bracketed string (e.g., [Core], [Input]) that appears in every log line after the severity label. The Scylla.Core.LogFormatter pads the bracketed category to the longest category seen so far so that output columns remain aligned across all receivers.

Use None when a message is not specific to any subsystem. When None is used, the category column is suppressed entirely in log output.

Example output with a category set:

<pre><code class="lang-csharp">[Scylla] [INFO]    [Core]       Framework initialized.</code></pre>

Fields

Name	Description

Analytics	Analytics and telemetry systems that collect, aggregate, or transmit usage data.
Animation	Animation systems, including animator state machines, clips, blend trees, and procedural animation.
Asset	Asset loading and unloading, including Resources, asset bundles, Addressables, and asset handle lifetimes.
Audio	Audio systems, including clip playback, mixer routing, music, and sound banks.
Camera	The Camera module (`ScyllaCamera`), covering camera mode management, transitions between modes, cinematic effects, collision avoidance, and pipeline integration.
Character	Character controllers, player entities, and NPC entity management.
Command	Console command parsing and CLI command processing within the debug console.
Console	The Console module (`ScyllaConsole`), including the in-game debug console UI, the performance monitor overlay, and console rendering.
Core	Core framework infrastructure, including `ScyllaCore`, `ScyllaBootstrap`, the module system, and dependency injection.
DB	Database operations, such as queries, connections, and schema management.
Data	Data management systems, including save/load pipelines and runtime data serialization.
Editor	Unity Editor tooling, custom inspectors, property drawers, and editor-only utilities.
Event	The Scylla Event eXchange system (SEX), covering event publication, subscription, priority ordering, and lifecycle-safe cleanup.
File	File I/O operations, configuration file loading and saving, and path resolution.
Game	Game-level systems and management, such as game state machines and scene coordination.
Gameplay	Gameplay logic, game rules, and mechanics that sit above the framework infrastructure layer.
Graphics	The Graphics module (`ScyllaGraphics`), covering SDF-based 2D vector shape rendering, render passes, and material management.
Input	The Input module (`ScyllaInput`), covering device discovery, action binding, and input event dispatch via the Unity Input System.
Lifecycle	Module lifecycle events, including the initialization, startup, enable, disable, and shutdown phases of all `ScyllaModule` instances.
Localization	Localization systems, including locale switching, string table lookups, and font fallback.
Logger	The logging system itself, covering logger configuration, receiver registration, and log file handling.
Module	The module system itself, covering module registration, dependency resolution, tier ordering, and the `ScyllaModuleManager`.
Network	Networking and multiplayer systems, including connections, synchronization, and transport layers.
None	No specific category. Use this value when a log message does not belong to a particular subsystem. When `None` is used, the category column is omitted entirely from log output.
Persistence	Save and load systems, including save slots, data migration, and corruption recovery.
Physics	Physics systems, including collisions, raycasts, rigidbodies, and physics queries.
Platform	Platform and store integration, including achievements, entitlements, permissions, and other platform services.
Renderer	The rendering pipeline, including render pass scheduling, URP integration, and per-frame GPU submission details.
Scenes	Scene management via `ScyllaSceneManager`, covering framework persistence across scene loads, managed scene loading and unloading, and transition hygiene.
Setup	The framework setup and initialization sequence, covering the ordered startup of modules driven by `ScyllaBootstrap` before gameplay begins.
Stats	The Stats module (`ScyllaStats`), covering the stat resolution pipeline, formula evaluation, modifier stacking, dependency graph propagation, resource pools, and progression systems.
TextMode	The TextMode module, covering grid-based SDF text rendering, terminal emulation, and the ConsoleDisplay bridge that connects TextMode output to the Console module.
Time	Time management via `ScyllaTime`, including timescale adjustments, pause handling, and frame/elapsed time tracking.
UI	The UI module (`ScyllaUI`), covering UI Toolkit panels, theming, navigation, and the runtime component library. Also used by the Core UI Toolkit helpers that serve runtime panels, such as the safe scheduler.
Util	Core utility operations from the Scylla utility library, such as math helpers, string utilities, noise generators, and collection extensions.
View	View management, including screen and window layout, viewport configuration, and multi-display coordination.
