TFS 1.X+ What does getPosition() returns?

[gudan garam]

Hey guys,

My question is probably very simple but I can't figure it out.

What does the getPosition() method returns? I'm using it on a creaturescripts and I don't know how to "var_dump" or "pretty print" the return of it.

Is this documented somewhere or do I have to read the sources in order to figure it out?

It returns a table: {x, y, z, stackpos}

For the next time to get better idea what you are dealing with try using:

print(var)
print(type(var))
print_r(var)

print_r function used for "pretty printing" content of a table:

function print_r(arr, indentLevel)
    local str = ""
    local indentStr = "#"

    if(indentLevel == nil) then
        print(print_r(arr, 0))
        return
    end

    for i = 0, indentLevel do
        indentStr = indentStr.."\t"
    end

    for index,value in pairs(arr) do
        if type(value) == "table" then
            str = str..indentStr..index..": \n"..print_r(value, (indentLevel + 1))
        else
            str = str..indentStr..index..": "..value.."\n"
        end
    end
    return str
end

Frija,

Thanks for the answer, the print_r function is going to be put to well use. Really appreciate it.
