Object MethodUI and Dialogs

Hud:getY()

Reads and returns the related value from Hud.

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

Hud:getY performs one focused job in script flow and can be chained cleanly with other API steps. Reads and returns the related value from Hud.

When To Use It

In dialog and HUD flow, validate user input and complete the sequence with close/dispose steps to keep the UI stable. This API becomes most valuable in multi-step chained scenarios.

Parameters and Return

This entry does not require mandatory parameters. This API reads or produces data; storing the returned value in a variable and reusing it in later steps is the safest approach.

Best Combined With

You can combine it with Setting.builder(), Dialog, Checkbox, EditText, Hud, and Console to build richer operator-facing flows.

Example Usage

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

lua
Try in Editor →
-- Hud:getY
local result = Hud:getY()
-- 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
Try in Editor →
-- Hud:getY
local result = Hud:getY()
-- Use the result in your script flow

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple
lua
Try in Editor →
local stepOk = true
-- Hud:getY
local result = Hud:getY()
-- Use the result in your script flow
if stepOk then
  wait(200)
end

Practical Flow

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

Practical Flow
lua
Try in Editor →
local ok, result = pcall(function()
  -- Hud:getY
  local result = Hud:getY()
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end)

if not ok then
  print("API step failed: Hud:getY")
  requestStop()
end

Detailed

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

Detailed
lua
Try in Editor →
-- In dialog and HUD flow, validate user input and complete the sequence with close/dispose steps to keep the UI stable.
local function run_gety_step()
  -- Hud:getY
  local result = Hud:getY()
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_gety_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
Try in Editor →
local dialog = Setting.builder()
dialog:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
dialog:add("enabled", Checkbox(true, "Enabled"))
Setting.setDialog(dialog:build())
Setting.show()
-- Hud:getY
local result = Hud:getY()
-- Use the result in your script flow
