How to return player race?

[Ixtabay]

I'm struggling to find an answer to this.

I'm updating MyRunUO.cs to update a new field in the myrunuo_characters table.

I thought getting the race would be as simple as:

string race = mob.Race;

but this is not the case. If anyone knows how to return player race, would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks,
Ix

string race = mob.Race.Name; ??

That was it, too easy thanks!

what are you trying to do here?
curious.

I'm trying to put the final touches on my SkillBallPlus.cs

I need to get the player's race in order to decide whether or not they can choose throwing.

Any help appreciated!

I am sure you could use mob.Race and then check the skill based on that

I am sure you could use mob.Race and then check the skill based on that

			public bool IsGarg(Mobile mob, bool isGarg)
        {
			if (mob.Race == Race.Gargoyle)
			return isGarg=true;
			else
			return isGarg=false;
		}
			bool isGarg = new IsGarg();

This doesn't work. Any ideas?

uhm that doesnt work since you have a method called IsGarg and then you want to create an instance of a class called IsGarg for a bool.

if you want to use the IsGarg method you could simply use

public bool IsGarg(Mobile mob)
{
	return mob.Race == Race.Gargyole;
}

How would I use this in an if statement?

thanks for the help!

like

if(isGarg(mob))

and if you wouldnt make / use such a method you could simply write

if(mob.Race == Race.Gargoyle)

if(isGarg(mob))

if(mob.Race == Race.Gargoyle)

Tried that and got errors:

Errors:
 + _Custom/SkillBallPlus.cs:
    CS0117: Line 24: 'Server.Race' does not contain a definition for 'Gargyole'
    CS0103: Line 132: The name 'mob' does not exist in the current context

//Line 24
			public bool IsGarg(Mobile mob)

			return mob.Race == Race.Gargyole;
		}

//Line 132
			  if(mob.Race == Race.Gargoyle)
				  this.AddCheck(65, 425, 2510, 2511, false, (int)SkillName.Throwing);

had a typo in the method version,
Gargoyle not Gargyole

and the other error is because mob is not defined where you placed it

How do I use IsGarg() in an if statement?

I basically want to to execute this line if the player is a Gargoyle:

this.AddCheck(65, 425, 2510, 2511, false, (int)SkillName.Throwing);

You can take a look at this version
https://www.servuo.com/threads/7-gm-skillball.4042/#post-26342

since that version was edited befor to work with the ifs for the races it may help you figure it out.
If you cant figure it out I may edit yours ^^
