Description

The GetDependencies function returns a table with the objects' dependencies.

Arguments

• Handle:
  The function takes a handle of the type "light_userdata" as an argument.
  It can be omitted when using the colon notation on an object.

  The Colon Notation is a way to omit the handle as the first argument when using the Object functions.

  This is the general syntax with the colon notation: object:function()

  This is the general syntax with standard handle notation: object.function(object)

Return

• Table:
  The function returns a table with the handles for the different dependency objects.
  

Examples

This example prints a dump of the selected sequence's first object in the returned table.

return function()
    -- SelectedSequence() creates a handle to the selected sequence.
    local selectedSequence = SelectedSequence()
    -- Get the dependcies for the sequence.
    local seqDependencies = selectedSequence:GetDependencies()
    -- Check if there are any dependicies and output a relevant feedback.
    if seqDependencies ~= nil then
        -- There is a dependency table returned. Print a dump of the first table element.
        Printf("=============== START OF DUMP ===============")
        seqDependencies[1]:Dump()
        Printf("================ END OF DUMP ================")
    else
        Printf("No dependencies found")
    end
end
