gre.set_value

    gre.set_value(
        key,
        value
        [, key2, value2, ...]
    )

Set a variable in the data manager to a particular value. This function is a convenience function on top of gre.set_data that allows the key and value to be passed as a set of arguments to the function instead of having to create a table containing the key/value pairs.

Parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription
key#stringA string value containing the key to be set with the next following value.
value#string or #number or #booleanThe value to be assigned to the preceding argument (key).

Example​

function lua_func( mapargs )
    -- Assign the string 'variable_data' to the application variable
    -- 'variable_name'
    -- This example is the same as gre.set_data()
    gre.set_value("variable_name", "variable_data")
end
