Power up drop notification in Scripting

So, I was just looking through some scripts cause I was bored and I found this in _zombiemode_powerups.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

print_powerup_drop( powerup, type )
{
	/#
		if( !IsDefined( level.powerup_drop_time ) )
		{
			level.powerup_drop_time = 0;
			level.powerup_random_count = 0;
			level.powerup_score_count = 0;
		}

		time = ( GetTime() - level.powerup_drop_time ) * 0.001;
		level.powerup_drop_time = GetTime();

		if( type == "random" )
		{
			level.powerup_random_count++;
		}
		else
		{
			level.powerup_score_count++;
		}

		println( "========== POWER UP DROPPED ==========" );
		println( "DROPPED: " + powerup );
		println( "HOW IT DROPPED: " + type );
		println( "--------------------" );
		println( "Drop Time: " + time );
		println( "Random Powerup Count: " + level.powerup_random_count );
		println( "Random Powerup Count: " + level.powerup_score_count );
		println( "======================================" );
#/
}

So, I edited to make it look like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

print_powerup_drop( powerup, type )
{

		if( !IsDefined( level.powerup_drop_time ) )
		{
			level.powerup_drop_time = 0;
			level.powerup_random_count = 0;
			level.powerup_score_count = 0;
		}

		time = ( GetTime() - level.powerup_drop_time ) * 0.001;
		level.powerup_drop_time = GetTime();

		if( type == "random" )
		{
			level.powerup_random_count++;
		}
		else
		{
			level.powerup_score_count++;
		}

		println( "^1========== ^2POWER-UP DROPPED! ^1==========" );
		println( "^5DROPPED^7: ^3" + powerup );
		println( "^1======================================" );
		/#
		println( "HOW IT DROPPED: " + type );
		println( "--------------------" );
		println( "Drop Time: " + time );
		println( "Random Powerup Count: " + level.powerup_random_count );
		println( "Random Powerup Count: " + level.powerup_score_count );
		println( "======================================" );
#/
}

But, it won't shot up in game because the type is set to debug somewhere in the script. I even tried entering debug mode, I don't know if I did successfully or not, but it wouldn't show up there either.

How could I make this script come to life without debug mode?

IF the script is threaded somewhere by default, this should do:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

print_powerup_drop( powerup, type )
{

		if( !IsDefined( level.powerup_drop_time ) )
		{
			level.powerup_drop_time = 0;
			level.powerup_random_count = 0;
			level.powerup_score_count = 0;
		}

		time = ( GetTime() - level.powerup_drop_time ) * 0.001;
		level.powerup_drop_time = GetTime();

		if( type == "random" )
		{
			level.powerup_random_count++;
		}
		else
		{
			level.powerup_score_count++;
		}

		iprintln( "^1========== ^2POWER-UP DROPPED! ^1==========" );
		iprintln( "^5DROPPED^7: ^3" + powerup );
		iprintln( "^1======================================" );

		iprintln( "HOW IT DROPPED: " + type );
		iprintln( "--------------------" );
		iprintln( "Drop Time: " + time );
		iprintln( "Random Powerup Count: " + level.powerup_random_count );
		iprintln( "Random Powerup Count: " + level.powerup_score_count );
		iprintln( "======================================" );
}

The /# mark #/ script that's only executed in developer mode, but also 'println' only prints to the console and or logfile ( not sure wich one's ) if you use iprintln it prints on the screen in the top left, and iprintlnbold prints the text in the center of the screen..

Uh no....
I didn't even realize it was just println and not iprintln.
Thank you!
