Specify the field constant name (V + object table name in singular + field name) or the field id, see the example.


Return values

Type Description
boolean The boolean value of the field.


Examples

Example 1: Get the boolean value of a condition.

-- Specify the field constant name or the field id
local door_state = getObject("Conditions[door_closed]"):getBool(VConditionValue)
local door_state = getObject("Conditions[door_closed]"):getBool(194)

-- The shorthand notation offers a more convenient way to achieve the same
local door_state = Conditions["door_closed"].Value
