[edit] GetAge(object)
Determines the age of a creature.
[edit] Parameters
oCreature
Creature to get the age from.
[edit] Description
Returns oCreature's age and 0 if oCreature is invalid.
[edit] Remarks
This can be used as a clever way to determine if a creature is a PC since NPCs do not have ages. See the addition code sample below for more information.
Of course, GetIsPC is more useful! A PC can set thier age to 0 if they wished!
Obviously, oCreature is invalid if it is anything other then a creature.
[edit] Version
1.29
[edit] Example
// biased example for trusting a certain age group :) int TrustCreature(object oCreature) { if (GetAge(oCreature) >= 30) return FALSE; // Over 30? Can't be trusted. return TRUE; } // clever way to determine if a creature is a PC int NewIsPC(object oCreature) { if (GetAge(oCreature) != 0) return TRUE; else return FALSE; }
