[Resolved] Finding the used "p/print" command buried in tons of scripts

[Kain Nobel]

Good day everybody!

Spoiler: Old Issue

There is an annoying p/print command that is being executed whenever I change maps in my project, which always prints 0, 5, 0, so I know its probably in something like Game_Map #setup, but... I've got that method aliased in quite a few scripts, so its kinda hard to find (and its probably even used somewhere else, I don't know).

I want to alias the print command, where it'll print whatever it prints, but also I want it to show the Script name (or index # in the editor) and the Line # of that script which the command is being used, or possibly even the method using the command, just so I can find it and delete it.

Can anybody help me?

I found a workaround to this... I just simply redefined method in Kernel, and purposely made it throw an argument error which brought me to the line I was looking for.

module Kernel
  def p #<--Doesn't have an argument now :)
    #...Nothing really needs to be defined
  end
end

KN, you know you can do a mass find with Cntl - Shift - F  ?

Sometimes you've gotta make errors to find errors (especially when you've got entire SDK broken down in your project, MACL split up, and then nearly 70 or 80 scripts of your own, that would return thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of results for "p "). By temporarily redefining Kernel's 'p' command with NO args, I had created an error to find my problem, line 356 in Interpreter 5, I was apparently using 'p' to print the power, speed and duration of weather settings! Silly me. (Never thought ArgumentErrors would be something good, huh? Ha!)

BTW this topic is closed everybody :P
