====== ACSUtils error handling ======

If you call some ACSUtils function incorrectly, it will trigger an **ACSUtils error**.

ACSUtils errors instantly display an error message. All error messages begin with current game time in tics ([[zdoom>Timer]]) and "ACSUtils error:". The error message is displayed differently based on whether the error occured in singleplayer, clientside or serverside:

  * In singleplayer, the error is printed using [[zdoom>PrintBold]].
  * Clientside, the error is printed using [[zdoom>PrintBold]] on the client. A "[clientside]" tag is prepended to the message.
  * Serverside, the error is logged to server console using [[zdoom>Log]]. A "[serverside]" tag is prepended to the message.

The [[zdoom>PrintBold]] part can be disabled by setting the ''acsutils_noerror'' cvar to ''true'', leaving only logging to server console.

===== What can cause ACSUtils errors =====

  * Calling a function with incorrect arguments
  * Calling a clientside-only function serverside (for example, ''IsOpenGL()'')
  * Calling a serverside-only function clientside
  * Storing too many entries in fixed-size ACSUtils arrays (for example, ''HudPushState()''). These static limits can be increased by editing ''acsutils.acs''.
