CurrentUser()

[GralfR]

The function CurrentUser() holds information about the current logged in user. Details can be found with CurrentUser():Dump()

But: The function does not work inside the cleanup-function of a timer so far (MA3 v1.9.3.3).

Try this Plugin that Echos the current username each second (but crashes, if the plugin is stopped):

local function running()
	Echo("running Timer: "..CurrentUser().Name)
end


local function stop()
	Echo("timer stopped by "..CurrentUser().Name)
end


local function start()
	Echo("Plugin started by "..CurrentUser().Name)
	Timer(running, 1, 0, stop)
end

return start

Thanks for this.

I just noticed the Dump() as well as the entry in the manual. It's probably been there for some time but I haven't been paying enough attention.

For the moment I have added the UserDataObject since this is what CurrentUser() and others return, I'll add the CurrentUser function when I have some more time.

Closing this up. I added both CurrentUser() and UserDataObject

I'll add a note to the Dump() Function later.
