Variabel list

[dhanjel 7]

Is there any way to get a list of all variables from a scene? (Lua)

I'm not sure I understand you question... What are you trying to accomplish?

[dhanjel 7]

I have multiple sensor countdowns (a sensor sets a variable to for instance 300 when motion is detected), I then have a scene that for each of theese variables counts down the value for each second and when it comes to 0 another variable is set to 1 to be able to trigger scenes on it.

for instance, i have

timerGarageLamp

timerGarageLampTriggered

timerEntranceLamp

timerEntranceLampTriggered

Currently I have to expand my countdown-scene for each new "scene".

I would like to do this automatically.

Get a list of all variables, filter out all that starts with timer and not ends with Triggered, and for each variable, count it down. If at 0, set the variable name (+"Triggered" to 1.

That way I never have to touch that scene.

-------------------------------

A quick and dirty example.

What if I would like to loop through all variables in a scene in order to debug-output their values. Is it possible?

I only know of debug.getlocal to enumerate the variables - but "debug" is not available in scenes. Sorry... But for the first part of your question, I think lua tables cleverly used can do the trick.
