Console doesn't return anything

Hi,
In editor, in game view, the F8 lua console only return nil values. Whatever variable you try to assign or print, you get nil. Which is quite difficult for debugging/writing scripts.

However, I'm not sure many people are poking around the console so I understand if this isn't top priority at the moment. I can work around this by typing what I want in a script and reloadAllScripts and then launch the script, it's painful but it eventually does the job.

I had to ask some questions from our coders, I kinda feel sorry for them every time I ask them anything. Lets see if I understood them correctly and we can find a solution for your problem.

They said that you should get other than nil values when the command is entered in the console. Command you should use is:

return variableName

For example, "return fuiManager" or "return gameStatusModule".

What happens if you input the variable like this?

PS. My advisor coder also promised that these example commands do not cause your computer to explode if you want to check what happens if you input them. :D
