"if" Evil script help

Zephirius

I'm trying to phrase a couple lines of code to determine whether the PC is evil. If he's evil then a certain set of instructions will ensue. I'm just trying to see if he's evil.

object oObject;

void main()
{

object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

oObject = GetObjectByTag("CASTER");

GetAlignmentGoodEvil(oPC); //I'm hung up right here?

ActionCastSpellAtObject(SPELL_AID, oPC, METAMAGIC_ANY,
FALSE, 0, PROJECTILE_PATH_TYPE_DEFAULT, TRUE);

}

I think I figured it out...

object oObject;

void main()
{

object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

oObject = GetObjectByTag("CASTER");

int iEvil = ALIGNMENT_EVIL;

if (GetAlignmentGoodEvil(oPC)==iEvil)
   {
   ActionCastSpellAtObject(SPELL_AID, oPC, METAMAGIC_ANY,
   FALSE, 0, PROJECTILE_PATH_TYPE_DEFAULT, TRUE);
   }
}

You could slightly shorten it to simply

if(GetAlignmentGoodEvil(oPC) == ALIGNMENT_EVIL)

But yes - The Get simply returns an integer number, but you have to DO something with that number in order for it to be effective. You could either store that number (like `int nAlign = GetAlign....`) or use it directly in the comparison, as your follow-up as done.

Thanks for the tip.
