sdkgenny.Variable

Inherits from Object.

A struct/class member variable with type, offset, and optional bitfield information.

Methods

self:type() / self:type(type: sdkgenny.Type) / self:type(typename: string)

Gets or sets the variable’s type. Accepts either a Type object or a type name string. Returns self when setting.

self:offset() / self:offset(bytes: number)

Gets or sets the byte offset of this variable within its parent struct. Returns self when setting.

self:append()

Sets this variable’s offset to the end of the last variable in the parent struct, effectively auto-packing it after the previous field. Returns self for chaining.

self:end()

Returns the byte offset immediately past the end of this variable (offset + type size).

self:bit_size() / self:bit_size(bits: number)

Gets or sets the bit-size for bitfield variables. Returns self when setting.

self:bit_offset() / self:bit_offset(bits: number)

Gets or sets the bit-offset within the storage unit for bitfield variables. Returns self when setting.

self:is_bitfield()

Returns true if this variable is a bitfield.

self:bit_append()

Appends this variable as the next bitfield after the previous bitfield in the same storage unit. Returns self for chaining.

self:delta() / self:delta(value: number)

Gets or sets the + N delta value for this variable. In genny schema, this corresponds to the + delta syntax for relative padding. When called with no arguments, returns the current delta as a number. When called with a number, sets the delta and returns self.

self:has_delta()

Returns true if a delta was explicitly set on this variable. This distinguishes + 0 (an intentional zero delta) from no delta at all.
