Variable Dump

[tangerine0469]

Hi,
first time add on developer here so please be nice and do not berate me for my question even if it sounds stupid/silly/useless/whatever...

I am trying to see all the variables available to an addon that may or may not be listed in the wiki. I know how to make a GUI (as ugly as my first attempts are they still work), make a settings menu and layout the add on files to work when activated. I just need help with the lua code on this as this is my first attempt at lua. I am a regular php/html/javascript user so I get the basics of programming. I did try to something I found on stackoverflow but that only gave me an error:

Link

function locals()
  local variables = {}
  local idx = 1
  while true do
    local ln, lv = debug.getlocal(2, idx)
    if ln ~= nil then
      variables[ln] = lv
    else
      break
    end
    idx = 1 + idx
  end
  return variables
end

I even tried to Butcher the counter tutorial code to display the variables btu that also ended in the same result. Lastly I have tried to call that (and several variations) function inside of the GUI by using:

<OnUpdate>
<OnInitialized>
<OnMouseDown>

Which met with either a few or repeating (in the case of the on update, my computer runs at 100 fps) errors






Edit:
I found something that may help me out and do what I want a little easier... the link for the addon is: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2...ctiontool.html I will post if it does or if I am still stuck later when I get home.
