Variant?

I'm probably going to be feeling dumb for a week after this.

I'm attempting to use the function
function R_WithdrawItem(TheVar: Variant, Amount: Integer)

In the parameters, what does the variant represent, and how do I use this function in my script?

Simplified said, a Variant is an integer, extended, boolean and string all at the same time.

A Variant can either be a string, integer, extended or a boolean (+ byte, char, int64 and whatnot, but that's of none importance atm)

When a function requires a variant, it's usually a string or an integer. In your case it looks like it would accept an ID or a name of the item.

Try with the name of the item first, then the ID if that doesn't work.

Thanks. :].
I searched the forums for some form of variant help, and couldn't find any.

Got it, it works for now. Thanks, Zyt3x.

Perhaps reading the documentation in the code too would be nice. :)

I looked through the code and didn't once find the definition of a variant. :P.

Nah, that would not be in there. But what to pass as a parameter should be.. mormonman ;)
