Hi there,i'm looking for the command to get the player gender,
i remember that when i tested byond for the first time,
there's a command to get the player gender,but i have forgot it.
What's the code to get the player gender?
Edit:Edited to change sex to gender.

I dont normaly give people codes but I cant be botherd getting a link to a guide for this. So here is a basic code that makes it so people can chose their gender on login.

mob
Login()
usr.icon_state = input("Sex?") in list("male","female")
usr.Move(locate(1,1,1))//location you go to on login


I had no space to put whole code in right order but this is how u do it, i will only use part of each line.

mob
Login()
usr.icon_state = input("What gender?") usr.Move(locate(1,1,1))


You may notice some code is in wrong place, I done this on purpose so that it makes you think and not copy and paste the code.

No offence...all you've done on these forums is ask for help. You normally don't give people code?...I'm sorry, I just got a chuckle out of that. You should probably keep it that way, considering this is only the first 10 days that you could have possibly had to start learning from a recent forum post requesting all to be done for you.

@OP:

Gender

Just check in Client/New() if they are male or female.

client/New()
  if("male")
    usr << "You must have male genetalia!"
  else
    usr << "I'm sexist, so get off my game"
  ..() //Continue with client/New()'s normal procedures

Indentation errors? Is that the best you could come up with?

You're weird.
And i wondered that this forum area was to ask help,and i can't help peoples if i don't know so much about the program i'm using,so,i must learn first,to help in the forums.

And i wonder that anybody here has her times of ask for help in the forums too.

Edit:And thanks for the help.

Question.. Wouldnt it be easier just to make a proc called Gender?



mob
proc
Gender()
switch(input(usr,"Please choose your Gender","Gender")in list("Male","Female"))
if("Male")
usr.Gender="Male"
if("Female")
usr.Gender="Female"

By default, when a new mob is made for a player (in client.New()), the new mob gets the same name and gender as the player's key.

It's bad practice to use usr if it can be avoided, as usr can easily end up being null for a variety of reasons. A better way of doing it would be to pass the player as an argument to the proc to avoid null usr issues.

Something like:

proc/Gender(mob/M)
switch(input(M,"Please choose your Gender","Gender")in list("Male","Female"))
if("Male")
M.Gender="Male"
if("Female")
M.Gender="Female"

And call it with Gender(mob being given a gender)
