Is there a variable for poling a PC's and or NPC's gender for use in quests?

Thanks for your time,
Rob

not that i'm aware of...

but it might be possible to use the hotkey variable settings to get it output in say/shout commands... i don't remember them off the top of my head tho...

it was like %o %m etc etc.. you can probably find them by searching the eqlive knowledgebase at http://station.sony.com/

try using

Code:

$npc->GetBaseGender()

for returning the gender value for the NPC..
as for client.. this MIGHT work im not posotive..

Code:

$npc->CastToClient()->GetBaseGender()

so you could use this..

Code:

if ($npc->GetBaseGender() == 1)

hope this helps..

Thanks for the help the code $npc->GetBaseGender() does get the NPC's gender for me.
I now need to find a way to report the user's gender I tried the %O variable for say/shout which reports Him/Her/it but looks like perl ignores it.

Well if there really isn't a command or variable to report the user's gender I'd like to request one. Please and thank you.

Thanks for your time,

If you read this post before I edited it never mind I realize now why I'm not a programmer.

Any how that code does report user's gender, Woot.

Thanks for the help,
