Get Names of Expansion?

[Casmat]

Hey!

Got a silly question! Heres my code:

const var expansionList = Engine.getExpansionList();

const var vptExpansion = Content.getComponent("vptExpansions");
vptExpansion.set("items", expansionList.join("\n"));

I'm showing the list of expansions as a viewport list. How do I change the values in the array from "Objectx#####" to the name of the expansion?

Thanks!

I believe you use the trace() function to see the contents of an array.

trace(expansionList)

@Casmat @Dan-Korneff I'm not familiar with expansions, but wouldn't expansion.getProperties() have the name somewhere inside?

@ustk it's been a while since I've worked with expansions so you're probably closer to the answer than me. I just saw Array and Object and thought of the trace function.

You should use an expansion handler instead of the old Engine expansion stuff.

const expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
const expList = expansionHandler.getExpansionList();
const expNames = [];

for (e in expList)
    expNames.push(e.getProperties().Name);

I have a lot of expansion stuff in my repo that you might find interesting - https://codeberg.org/LibreWave/RhapsodyBoilerplate/src/branch/main/includes/Expansions.js
