How to set cursor position in MM console window

[d003232]

I thougt to remember that in RoM bot in the console was a output that just modified the last printed line without scrolling. I want that to do too. I want to update the last output line in the console window. How can I do that. I have tried to experiment with the cli.getAttributes() but without success.

Any other way to set back the cursor for one line? Or to reprint the whole content of the console window and modify the last line?

You can't go beck a line but you can go to the beginning of the current line using \r, eg.

Code: Select all

for i = 1, 10 do
   print("\r"..i)
   yrest(1000)
end

You are my king! Where do you find that special codes? Is it lua knowledge?

Escape characters such as \r, \n, \t etc. can be used in many languages, so no, it's not an lua thing.

If you are using Ncurses mode, you can use ncurses.move() to move the (virtual) cursor within a 'window' to change the position of output. Just set it wherever you need and overwrite the line with a new ncurses.print().
