A question about the types of armor

Riddle me this, riddle me that...

My question is a simple one - is there a scripting command that allows one to determine the type of armor a PC is wearing (light, medium, etc...)? I have need of detecting the armor type worn, and am very curious to see if such a thing is possible. Have any of you scriptmonkeys seen something along these lines!

An internets for teh winnar!

Code:: // Example of a time to use this function, when a blacksmith needs // to check if a piece of armor the character is wearing can be // actually forged. // It can only be forged if it is has an total AC of 4 to 7. This is // when it will return TRUE. void main() { // Get the item object oItem = GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_CHEST, GetPCSpeaker()); // Get the AC value of it int nAC = GetItemACValue(oItem); // Check the value if(nAC >= 3 && nAC <= 7) { // Passes return TRUE; } return FALSE; } // Sample code 2. This is a very simple function that will accuratly // use the unidentified (base price of that item type) to get the // base AC value. // So, 0 is clothing, up to 8, which is full plate. // Returns the base armor type as a number, of oItem // -1 if invalid, or not armor, or just plain not found. // 0 to 8 as the value of AC got from the armor - 0 for none, 8 for Full plate. int GetArmorType(object oItem) { // Make sure the item is valid and is an armor. if (!GetIsObjectValid(oItem)) return -1; if (GetBaseItemType(oItem) != BASE_ITEM_ARMOR) return -1; // Get the identified flag for safe keeping. int bIdentified = GetIdentified(oItem); SetIdentified(oItem,FALSE); int nType = -1; switch (GetGoldPieceValue(oItem)) { case 1: nType = 0; break; // None case 5: nType = 1; break; // Padded case 10: nType = 2; break; // Leather case 15: nType = 3; break; // Studded Leather / Hide case 100: nType = 4; break; // Chain Shirt / Scale Mail case 150: nType = 5; break; // Chainmail / Breastplate case 200: nType = 6; break; // Splint Mail / Banded Mail case 600: nType = 7; break; // Half-Plate case 1500: nType = 8; break; // Full Plate } // Restore the identified flag, and return armor type. SetIdentified(oItem,bIdentified); return nType; }
