local zzz_numChildren = ZO_CompassContainer:GetNumChildren()
   local zzz_string = ""
   d("The number of children: "..zzz_numChildren.."\n -----")
 
   for index = 1, zzz_numChildren do
      zzz_compassPin = ZO_CompassContainer:GetChild(index)
      if zzz_compassPin ~= nil then
         zzz_string = zzz_compassPin:GetName()
         d(index..": "..zzz_string)
      else
         d(index..": nil")
      end
   end

Result:

The number of children: 67
-----
1: nil
2: nil
[ ... ]
66: nil
67: nil

You, and everyone that has responded and helped me I am incredibly grateful for but I have to give up (I think I already said that once already hehe). All I ever get in the simplest of code is a nil result.
