Is there a way to pull the information contained in atom.transform out in a readable format? I know we can pass it a list, but it doesn't seem to come back out that way.

        Test()
            var/atom/T = src.transform
            for(var/i in T.vars - "vars")
                world << "[i] = [T.vars[i]]"

You don't have to cast it as an atom. It's a matrix.

When working with atom.transform, you're expected to use a matrix object and all the functions that come with them.

Of course, but this was to show a way to display the variables contained within transform.

Yeah, I got it. I'm not sure why I wasn't realizing that it was an actual matrix datum. Thanks again.

Fun with undocumented features: Create a new file in your project called stddef.dm, and it'll show you everything that's compiled in automatically.
