I'm not exactly sure what's going on here. It seems to crash when used alongside echo() Which is silly.

I can confirm that this crashes the NPC Server, however, it has nothing to do with the echo(). Try setting temp.somevar = this.test.getDynamicVarNames() instead of echoing it, and the server will still crash.

It might be some issue in the engine with threading? Race conditions can be nasty. Might be that you're trying to access this.test while it's locked. Though, why that would be done on a separate thread would be beyond me.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.output = {};
  
  this.test.var = "testing";
  temp.output.add( this.test.getDynamicVarNames() );
  
  this.test.var = "";
  temp.output.add( this.test.getDynamicVarNames() );
  
  clearemptyvars(); 
  temp.output.add( this.test.getDynamicVarNames() );
  echo(temp.output);
} 


This example does not crash. And it also demonstrates the use of clearemptyvars() I was trying to demonstrate. Very useful.
