Properties can be accessed from PresetInfo class/structures obtained from a selected Preset or Channel using the PresetInfo:GetSelectedPreset() or PresetInfo:GetSelectedChannel functions. Note that several properties are used internally by Moving Light Assistant and may not be of much use to users.

To read or write to a ‘member’ property of a PresetInfo class/structure, a dot separator is used between the _PresetInfo_class/structure object and the property.

name = preset.PresetName

Gets the PresetName property from a previously retrieved PresetInfo class/structure called preset and assigns it to the variable name.

preset.PresetName = "New Preset Name"

Sets the PresetName property of a previously retrieved PresetInfo class/structure to “New Preset Name”.
