Buffs & Debuffs

Each Entity has a buff-lua-table attached which holds all buffs of that entity.

Accessing Buffs

Here we are getting the Buffs from an Entity in the EntityList
Example:

local el = EntityList("nearest,onmesh,attackable,maxdistance=20")
if ( el ) then
   local i,e = next(el)
   if (i~=nil and e~=nil) then
      -- the 'd' command is a global command for printing out information into the console
      d("EntityID: ".. tostring(i).. " Entity : "..tostring(e))
      local entitybuffs = e.buffs      
   end  
end

The returned table entitybuffs is a lua table with all buffs.
The Buffs can be accessed like this:

-- the 'd' command is a global command for printing out information into the console
local entitybuffs = e.buffs
if ( entitybuffs ) then
   local index,buff = next (entitybuffs)
   while index ~=nil and buff~=nil do
      -- Here we print out the name of the buff into the console
      d(buff.name)
   end
end
