Type

Method

Summary

Gets value of a named world option, as loaded from the world file

Prototype

VARIANT GetLoadedValue(BSTR OptionName);

Description

Gets the value of a MUSHclient <world> option, as at the moment after the world was loaded from disk.

You can use GetOptionList, and GetAlphaOptionList, to get a list of the names of all possible options.

The return type is Variant, so the returned value will be the appropriate type for the data (ie. string or number (long)).

If the option name is not known, or is not allowed to be retrieved, a NULL variant is returned.

Available in MUSHclient version 3.23 onwards.

VBscript example

world.note world.GetLoadedValue ("port")  
world.note world.GetLoadedValue ("player")

Jscript example

world.note (world.GetLoadedValue ("port"));  
world.note (world.GetLoadedValue ("player"));

PerlScript example
