This page consists of an overview of the fields & tables belonging to the character data structure table.
CharacterActions
A list of actions belonging to the specified character. Requires iteration or an index value.
Example 1: print all actions belonging to Tom using for loop iteration
local c_act = getObject("Characters[Tom]"):getLinks(VCharacterActions) -- store actions table in c_act
for i = 1, #c_act do -- for index 1 to c_act total value do...
print( c_act[i] ) -- will print the action associated with the current index value to the log
endExample 2: print a specific action belonging to Tom using the shorthand Lua script method. Visionaire Studio 4.1 onwards is required for shorthand.
print( Characters[Tom].CharacterActions[1] ) -- print action in table index 1
