Tailextra

An alias of tail where the int form of entity refers to a temporary follower index instead of an Entity id (which is redundant, see remarks why).

Syntax

(1)

|tailextra,entity|

(2)

|tailextra,entity,transition|

Parameters

Refer to the tail documentation, but the only changes are for the entity parameter if the current map isn't null (otherwise, this command exactly like tail):

• The int form refers to a temporary follower index and it must be a valid one or an exception will be thrown.
• this is not a valid value and it will throw an exception if specified anyway.

Any other value for this parameter functions the exact same way than tail.

Remarks

This command should be redundant because tail takes an Entity id which supports temporary followers. There are only 2 possible reasons one would use this command over tail:

• There is no null check performed on the map before accessing the temporary followers array for an Entity id meaning it will throw instead of interpreting the value as a regular Entity id like this command does (which is potentially not desired so this difference may not matter anyway)
• This allows to have more than 1000 Entity id being specified on the map without the followers because it is now possible to index the desired follower independently. While this is a possible usecase, it should be noted that most commands uses Entity id as a standard meaning should this ever happen, it is likely some other command will behave incorrectly making this usecase not as relevant.

Due to this redundancy and the simplicity of just using tail, usage of this command isn't recommended: use tail instead.

This is one of the command supported by testdiag.
