Data type meanings

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.

VBscript example

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

Jscript example

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

PerlScript example

Python example
