How to get dimension of player with debug card

[DaComputerNerd 0]

I was reading through the Debug component's functions, and I am not really sure how to do what I am attempting to do. Essentially, I am trying to get the dimension ID of each player returned by component.debug.getPlayers(). I don't really understand how to call the "Player object" functions, or the "World object" functions. The example on the component's page (https://ocdoc.cil.li/component:debug) does not demonstrate how to do this. I tried component.debug.getWorld(players) and component.debug.getPlayers().getWorld() to get the world the player is in (i is a previously defined variable), neither worked. I can't figure out the correct way to use these functions.

Such objects are just tables, they must be processed in the correct sequence.

players = component.debug.getPlayers() -- get a players list

for i = 1, players.n do
  print(players[i]) -- display the name of the next player
end

player = component.debug.getPlayer(players[1]) -- get player proxy by name from list
world = player.getWorld() -- get the proxy of the world in which the player is located
print(world.getDimensionName()) -- print the name of the world


-- Or you can get everything at once
players = component.debug.getPlayers()
for i = 1, players.n do
  print(players[i], component.debug.getPlayer(players[i]).getWorld().getDimensionName())
end

@Log you beat me to it by about a minute :p. So I'll just add how to get a useful list OP mentioned.

local component = require "component"
local debug = component.debug
local players = {}

for _, name in ipairs(debug.getPlayers()) do
  local world = debug.getPlayer(name).getWorld()
  
  table.insert(players, {
      name = name,
      dimension = {
          name = world.getDimensionName(),
          id = world.getDimensionId()
        }
    })
end

print(players[1].name, players[1].dimension.name, players[1].dimension.id) --> "Molinko"	"overworld"		"0"

I see, so getPlayers() returns a list of player names, not a list of player objects.

Ok now I'm having a different issue with this. When I try to run this code, it has an error pointing to the line with the for loop in tellRawToPlayers saying "attempt to index number value"

never mind, i made a stupid mistake

however, calling the following

component.debug.getPlayer(players[i]).getWorld().getDimensionID()

it says "attempt to call field getDimensionID (a nil value)"

Capitalization. You're calling 'getDimensionID' and it should be 'getDimensionId'
