Object.IsA( POLCLASS_* )

[MontuZ]

Maybe add a new const to determine if it's a PC or not.

POLCLASS_MOBILE - Returns true if object is a PC/NPC.

POLCLASS_NPC - Returns true if object is a NPC.

POLCLASS_PC - Returns true if object is a PC.

Just a suggestion, lol.

That would be neat. Because right now I'm not sure if I should use ip or acct to determine if it's a PC or not.

Why not:

[Zacharias]

why not script a own function is_pc(), is_npc or is_mobile()?

if there are changes (e.g. npcs get a ip / acct-prop :p . don't know why) you could easy modify that.
No need for a new constant, in my opinion.

Edit:

oops

[CWO]

umm even better, if you wanna know its a PC, all you need to do is one check...

if (mobile.acctname)

NPCs dont have accounts...

[tekproxy]

There are many properties that a character has that a NPC doesn't have and I think everyone knows them... Why have POLCLASS_NPC when you have object.npctemplate ? Haha.

I thought the answer was already posted above: There are already lots of ways to tell... npctemplate, which no PC has, or ip or acctname, which no NPC has. Or just test for ISA(POLCLASS_MOBILE) && (!ISA(POLCLASS_NPC))

I think this is one of those requests where, "Yes, there are ways to do it, but why not simplify it by adding this flag?"

Kinda like how you could use pc.ip to test for connection, but we got pc.connected anyway.

These kind of features are really useful to those new to escript (and especially programming in general) and do not know all the work-around methods posted here.

Think of the class heirarchy.. then look at the POLCLASS_* flags
