Trace() for Variables?

[Platypi]

Is there an equivalent of trace() for variable? In other words, is there some way (perhaps a function; perhaps some other method) that shows what global variables a function uses/modifies?

Can't figure out which ones they read, however, it's possible to figure out which ones they modify.
export("$*","config/dump/allVars.txt");
run the function
export("$*","config/dump/allVars2.txt");

Then probably find something online that compares the differences.

for the lazy: commit allvars to a git repo, then replace it with the contents of allvars2 and check diff

I ran export("$*","config/dump/allVars.txt") and the game crashed. Here's the error message:



The error message shows almost immediately after running export. However, a good deal of variables are still written to "config/dump/allVars.txt" beforehand. When I check the file, it usually ends with a half-written variable value. The variable it stops on seems to be rather arbitrary. I am running Blockland through Wine on Ubuntu. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

I'm familiar with it.  I did that on windows.
My solution was to just go through the alphabet.  export("$A*",blahblah);export("$B*",blahblah);

Ahm, I think export can append to a file.

virtual void Server::Global::export   (   searchString]    [, fileName[, append]   )

So to get it all in one file it'd be like:
export("$A*","base/allvars.txt");
export("$B*","base/allvars.txt",1);
export("$C*","base/allvars.txt",1);
...

This worked. Thank you!

Here's my code:

Code: [Select]

$alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

function exportVars(%fn) {
%len = strLen($alphabet);
for (%i = 0; %i < %len; %i++) {
%c = getSubStr($alphabet, %i, 1);
export("$" @ %c @ "*", %fn, 1);
}
}
Short, fast, and it doesn't crash.

Then I used this to check the difference. This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

Thanks, everyone!
