What does #Print do?

It is listed in the docs in the preprocessor section but nothing said on what it does.

I would guess that #Print and #Error are meant to be used to help debug branching builds, printing a message during compile and printing a message and halting compilation respectively. Neither appear to work though.

Works okay for me, when running the following code you get a print statement if the target isnt HTML5 and an error if it is:

#If TARGET="html5" 
#Error "HTML5 is not supported"
#Else
#Print "Not HTML5 - ROCK ON!"
#End

Function Main:Int()
End

You're right. My fault. I didn't put quotes around the message I tried.

I see, it shows it between Parsing and Semanting.

If you put it in a update loop, it wont show - hence why its a pre-processor
