getVariable(name)

[Poyz]

can't get this method to work...
i read on docs:
getVariable(name) Return the room variable with the requested name
i got a variable in a room and i try to trace it with:

trace(room.getVariable("variable"))

and i get:

it.gotoandplay.smartfoxserver.data.RoomVariable@afae4a

any ideas?

As Lapo says it better

Since the Room object is a native java object it [the getVariables() method] will return another native java object, specifically an HashMap

I've encountered this problem here > viewtopic.php?t=279&highlight=room+variable+getvalue
when using getVariables().

I would have expected that getVariable('name') would return the actual value. But since it seems that returns a java object use the getValue() to obtain it's value.

Code: Select all

trace(room.getVariable("variable").getValue()) ;
