No errors occurred, so if the human was watching your script's player then they will have seen the text in the console.

Error
I assume an error will be thrown if something went wrong deeper in the C++ code.
3.1 Beta 1
Example
Put some text in the console
console("Greetings Commander,", "Welcome to Warzone!");
Notes
The following characters are silently removed from strings output to the console: @
If you specify a string greater than 255 characters long, only the first 255 characters will be output – the rest will be silently discarded.
The console() output is only displayed if the human player uses the Debug Menu to select the player the script is associated with. So, by default, a human player won't see console messages issued by AI bots.
