getLights

Function getLights

Returns a string list containing the names of the light sources that are on for the Current Token. The type of the value returned depends on the delimiter parameter.

• If the delimiter is not specified then a string list is returned with the default value of ',' is used.
• If the delimiter "json" then a json array is returned. (as of MapTool 1.3b49)
• Otherwise a string list is returned with the delimiter passed in.

Usage

[h: lights = getLights()]
[h: lights = getLights(type)]
[h: lights = getLights(type, delim)]
[h: lights = getLights("*", delim)]

Where

• type is the type of light source (e.g. "Generic" or "D20"). If it is not specified then all light sources that are on for the token are returned.
• delim is the delimiter used to separate values in the string list. If it is not specified then it defaults to ","

If you want to specify the delimiter but still want to fetch all of the light source types then you can use the special value "*" for type.
