Player Gender?

[xXziroXx]

Is there any way to read what gender the player has selected in his profile? I'm highly dependant on such a function right now, and player.ismale / player.isfemale always return true / false - no matter what's in their profile. And yes, I tried it both clientside and serverside.

to set it

player.setGender(gender);

to check it

player.ismale - boolean
player.isfemale - boolean

Read the question. :/

No, I do not believe there is.

There should be like some $profile:: variables and such.

Set a client variable to either male/female on login then add that to the profile vars.

Like I said... I dont want to SET it, I want to be able to READ what's in a players profile.

Stefan, is there a way to do so, or can you possibly add one?

I think you can do sendtext("lister","getprofile",player.account) and then get the data in function onReceiveText()

Just assume that it's male.

So true.

Cheers, that did the trick.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  sendtext("lister", "getprofile", player.account);
}

function onReceiveText(texttype, textoptions, textlines)
{
  if (textoptions == "profile") {
    // textlines[3].tokenize("=")[1]
    // -------------------
    // 'unknown' returns '-'
    // 'Male' returns 'male'
    // 'Female' returns 'female'
    player.gender = (textlines[3].tokenize("=")[1] != "-" ? textlines[3].tokenize("=")[1] : "male");  // custom player. variable
  }
} 


EDIT: Hmm, that's interesting. Seems like ismale/isfemale now displays what you've selected in your profile? Did this get changed lately?
EDIT x2: Also, it appears as though when you select "unknown", ismale/isfemale returns what gender you previously had selected?

Not the case for me.

I tried to remove all scripts from my account, reset it, and then do this in the Control-NPC upon login:

PHP Code:

function onActionPlayerOnline() {
  echo(player.account SPC "gender:" SPC player.ismale @ "/" @ player.isfemale);
} 


Every time it echoed what I had selected in my profile. And I know for a fact, that it didn't work 2 months ago when I last tried it, else I wouldn't have made this thread to begin with.
