Standard Subraces are viewed with disgust

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 :)

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

This is still an issue

[Puffy]

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

Need to put in GetStringLowerCase

Try again after v7327

Any testing/update on this?

Tested with Gold Dwarf. Worked as intended.
