Accessing an enumerator: Use . on the enum, followed by the enumerator you want to use. For example direction.Up. |
Persistable Type
An enum is persistable when defined with the persistable specifier. This means that you can use them in your module-scoped weak_map variables and have their values persist across game sessions. For more details on persistence in Verse, check out Using Persistable Data in Verse.
The following is an example of a persistable enum for the days of the week that can be stored, updated, and accessed later for a player.
| | day := enum<persistable>: |
| --- | --- |
| | Monday |
| | Tuesday |
| | Wednesday |
| | Thursday |
| | Friday |
| | Saturday |
| | Sunday |
