Expose game events through a log file

40 votes

Can we get an audit log kinda file that would post events like those from the kill feed and others. For example:

2021-03-22T14:26:29+00:00: X killed Y with Z. Headshot.
2021-03-22T14:26:30+00:00: Y respawned
2021-03-22T14:26:35+00:00: Y purchased A

It would be a great way to be able to react to in-game events on the server. One particular use case would be to be able to get from the log when someone was killed with a headshot and have this trigger some event by reading the log file.

Additionally to this, it would be great if custom maps would have a blueprint node to submit entries to this log.

Another game event to capture could be when flash or nades would explode.

I would love to see this. It would be very useful for scoreboards and such. Also, helps you identify skilled players (and possible cheaters) by showing the distance of the player from another when they are killed.
