GetArmorType

int GetArmorType (string armortype, int playernum)

Returns true if the player's armor type matches the first parameter.

Parameters

• armortype: The class name of an armor type. This must be either “None”, the name of a BasicArmorPickup or that of a BasicArmorBonus.
• playernum: Player number. This information can be obtained through PlayerNumber.

This function targets only players. It concerns only BasicArmor and therefore does not cover HexenArmor.

Return value

The return value is the number of armor points if the player wears the designated armor, 0 otherwise.

Examples

This script constantly informs the first player which kind of Doom armor he is wearing.
