GetRacialType
GetRacialType(object)
Determines the race of a creature.
Parameters
oCreature
The creature whose race we are interested in.
Description
Returns the racial type (RACIAL_TYPE_*) of oCreature and RACIAL_TYPE_INVALID If oCreature is invalid.
Remarks
this is most useful, no, the best function, if only, for getting their race. It merely returns a value from the racialtypes.2da file, and so new races can be added in successfully.
This is widely used in most conversations, and places where race relations comes into play. Giving a special conversation option to certain races, and getting NPC's to react according to race, it usually a good way to add some depth to a world.
Known Bugs
1.64 makes sure that RACIAL_TYPE_INVALID is returned for any invalid object type when using this function.
Version
1.64
Example
// Dwarves go to "MORIA",
// Everybody else goes to the default transition
// (I know, stupid example, but still...)
void main()
{
object oPC=GetClickingObject();
object oTarget;
if (GetRacialType(oPC)==RACIAL_TYPE_DWARF)
{
oTarget = GetObjectByTag("MORIA");
}
else
{
oTarget = GetTransitionTarget(OBJECT_SELF);
}
AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oTarget));
}
