if(src.type == typeof(/obj/objectONE))
  DO THIS
else
  DO THAT


So what I want it to do is: DO THIS when obj/objectONE/CUBE or obj/objectOne/Pyriamid is being tested as the src but not when something like: /obj/objectTwo is the src, I want that one to do: DO THAT.

I tried the typeof command but it keeps coming up with errors and nothing else seems to work. Thoughts?

Lemme clarify this for you.

When checking an object's type, use istype().
// DM type-path style
object1
    object2
        object3

// traditional object inherited style
obj1
    parent_type = /datum
obj2
    parent_type = /obj1
obj3
    parent_type = /obj2

// (test proc)
proc/CheckObject()

    var/object1/object2/object3/o = new()

    if (istype(o,/object1))
        world << "1"    // o is derived from /object1
    if (istype(o,/object1/object2))
        world << "2"    // o is derived from /object1/object2
    if (istype(o,/object1/object2/object3))
        world << "3"    // o is derived/is type /object1/object2/object3

    var/obj3/u = new()
    if (istype(u,/obj1))
        world << "A"    // u is derived from /obj1
    if (istype(u,/obj2))
        world << "B"    // u is derived from /obj2
    if (istype(u,/obj3))
        world << "C"    // u is derived/is type /obj3

Isn't obj's parent type /datum/atom/movable/ ?

Yeah. But /obj1, /obj2, /obj3 are arbitrary datums so they aren't linked to /obj in any way. I was mostly using them as a means of an example.

I saw that, just thought to ask. Too tired to bother going to the computer, too lazy to go through the hassle on my phone to look it up.
