Weapon / Item ... finding the Difference

#1 className is the only way I know of to differentiate between Item types (IE. Weapon, Normal Item)


You have to remember to set the className in the datablock definition for the item to the correct specification.

#2 yeah, or use some dynamic var in your datablock , e.g.
isWeapon=1;

Or, if you're looking for a specific weapon, e.g. the "Crossbow", use
%obj.getDatablock().getName();

Btw., how are the doors coming along? :p would *love* to see them working completely... :)

#3 hmm well indeed that is what I thought but it is like I said the function getClassName for me is returning the Weapon's parent className "Item" and the variable className is returning " " this happens for me on stocker realm wars
when I type

echo((weaponId).getClassName()); 
or
echo((weaponId).className);

what am I doing wrong here?


Stephen :
as for the doors .. I was gonna crack into em last night and start playing .. as it is ive done nothing. :)
but instead im playing with the script getting warmed up.

#4 Should be %obj.getDatablock().className;

%obj being the ID of the object.

#5 ahh i c thanks alot :)
