Console doesn't display strings for Values

    Hi all,

    Noted that in the console within the game, if you have a string value, VS will always display -1 instead of the string text that the value contains which is an issue when debugging, i hope that it can be easily fixed.

    You mean if you print a value to the log? Values have 2 different tables. String & Int.
    print( Values["example"].Int ) -- print number value
print( Values["example"].String ) -- print string value

    i guess atrus meant the console (Tab) and its ability to display all values in a list, not using the log output

    That's correct, see the attached pic. I cannot see any string values, but only the integer values!

    Probably because string values can only be read/written with Lua script.

    Yes, but even after being written with Lua, i think it would be nice to be able to see the actual value there, if possible

    I second that. If its possible for the VS player to display a value int, it should be easy to implement displaying its string value in the console. smile
