GetVariable() returns nil?

[XANCI]

In Manual:

Code: Select all

GetVariable(string name)
Returns the value of the given variable. If the variable is not found, returns nil.

But, if var1 doesn't exist, type(SKIN:GetVariable('var1')) will fail and return a error message in Log:Script: xxx.lua:X: bad argument #1 to 'type' (value expected)

Thanks, will fix for 2.4 beta. For now, you can use:

Code: Select all

type(SKIN:GetVariable('var1') or nil)

You can also use:

TestVar = SKIN:GetVariable('NoVar')
TestType = type(TestVar)
