MUSHclient scripting

Description of MUSHclient world function: world.GetCurrentValue


Name GetCurrentValue
Type Method
Summary Gets the current value of a named world option
Prototype VARIANT GetCurrentValue(BSTR OptionName);
Description

Gets the current value of a MUSHclient <world> option, that is, the value it currently has.

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.


Note: Available in version 3.23 onwards.

world.note world.GetCurrentValue ("port")
