Standard Subraces are viewed with disgust

Wulfric

I was bored so I gave it some more thought to open up more possibilities.
This can be extended to multiple levels of disgust (or even friendliness, depends on the configuration) towards subraces.

Disclaimer: I didn't test this in the toolset, I wrote it here on the forums, so may have a few syntax errors :)

Base code here:

// List of possible subraces and the attitude of commoners or merchants towards them
//
// Format: "[subrace name]:[attitude], [subrace name 2]:[attitude2], ..."
//
// (Example) Attitudes:
// 0: neutral
// 1: distrusted
// 2: hated
string sSubraceAttitudes = "sun elf:0, hill dwarf:0, aasimar:1, tiefling:2";

// Get the attitude towards a player subrace
// The attitudes are listed before the sSubraceAttitudes variable
int DetermineAttitude(string sSubrace);

int DetermineAttitude(string sSubrace) {
    if (sSubrace == "") {
        // default is neutral for no subrace
        return 0;
    }

    int iSrPosition = FindSubString(sSubraceAttitudes, GetStringLowerCase(sSubrace));
    if (iSrPosition < 0) {
        // The player has a subrace, but we don't know about it. Should not happen
        // returning neutral for now, should ask the player to bug report this
        return 0;
    }

    // Find the attitude associated with the given subrace
    int iSrOffset = iSrPosition + GetStringLength(sSubrace) + 1;
    int iAttitude = StringToInt(GetSubString(sSubraceAttitudes, iSrOffset, 1));

    return iAttitude;
}

And an example on how to use it:

// on merchant open somewhere in the code
switch (DetermineAttitude(sSubrace)) {
    case 0:
        // open store normally
        break;

    case 1:
        // I don't like you, but eh, here you go
        break;

    case 2:
        // Go away you freak!
        break;
}

You can assign different meanings to numbers, though this has a limit of 10 possible attitudes (0-9), but that should be more than enough.

Cheers!

EDIT: You can make sSubraceAttitudes a parameter for the function and then the attitudes can be fully customised for whatever purpose you want to use this script :)

Being reviewed. Thanks for the input!

Cool, thanks.

Its a misspelling in the script, the ok subraces are spelled with small letters whilst it should be capital letters to work.

Should be resolved 7322

Ethika

This is still an issue

Puffy

Ping me on discord when you are IG, so I can check your variables.

Puffy

Need to put in GetStringLowerCase

Echo

Try again after v7327

Any testing/update on this?

Tested with Gold Dwarf. Worked as intended.
