ExportXML
Script function world.ExportXML Read about scripting Type Method Summary Exports a world item in XML format Prototype `BSTR ExportXML(short Type, BSTR Name);` View list of data type meanings Description `This lets you export one trigger, timer, alias, macro, keypad item or variable in XML format. This is symmetrical with the ImportXML function - a trigger exported with ExportXML will be syntactically correct for importing with ImportXML. However, it may not actually import if, say, there is a clash where two triggers both have the same label. This would let you send triggers etc. from one world to another in an automated way, or from one client to another if you built some chat scripting around these functions. The various types of things are numbered: 0 = trigger 1 = alias 2 = timer 3 = macro 4 = variable 5 = keypad` VBscript example
    world.Note world.ExportXML (0, "mytrigger")
Jscript example
    world.Note (world.ExportXML (0, "mytrigger"));
PerlScript example

Python example

Lua example

Return value
