Global ObjectSystem Control

System

System provides system/device level helper methods.

Detailed Explanation

This section explains when to use the API, how to call it, and which structures it works best with in production flow.

What It Does

System is the main entry point for this object family. Use it to understand the responsibility of the namespace before diving into the methods below it. System provides system/device level helper methods.

When To Use It

In system flow, design steps as observe first and act second when the API can affect device state. This API becomes most valuable in multi-step chained scenarios.

Parameters and Return

This entry does not require mandatory parameters. This entry is a namespace or helper object overview; the real flow is built with the methods listed below it.

Best Combined With

Using this API with logging, error handling, and next-step control produces much more professional results than calling it in isolation.

Example Usage

The snippet below is a starter pattern that can be applied directly in runtime flow.

lua

-- System:currentTime
local result = System:currentTime("value")
-- Use the result in your script flow

Copyable Progressive Examples

From foundation to combined usage, each level is provided as a separate code block so you can copy the level you need and adapt it directly.

Foundation

Shows the shortest direct way to call the API.

Foundation

lua

-- System:currentTime
local result = System:currentTime("value")
-- Use the result in your script flow

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple

lua

-- System:currentTime
local result = System:currentTime("value")
-- Use the result in your script flow

-- Continue with one focused method on the object.

Practical Flow

A practical pattern for real macros with pcall, logging, and guards.

Practical Flow

lua

-- System:currentTime
local result = System:currentTime("value")
-- Use the result in your script flow
local note = "System overview loaded"
print(note)

Detailed

This level packages the API into a reusable helper with error reporting.

Detailed

lua

-- In system flow, design steps as observe first and act second when the API can affect device state.
local function run_system_step()
  -- System:currentTime
  local result = System:currentTime("value")
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_system_step)
if not ok then
  toast("Step failed")
  print(err)
end

Combined

Combines the API with related structures to form a more realistic workflow.

Combined

lua

-- System:currentTime
local result = System:currentTime("value")
-- Use the result in your script flow
wait(200)
print("Combined with logging and flow control")
