have you tried ${Spawn[gm]}?

If you're trying to display a GM indicator...
${If[!${Spawn[gm]},FALSE,TRUE]} seems to be working for me.

${Spawn[gm]} checks the spawn list for a gm. If there's not one, it returns NULL
${Spawn[id].GM} is GM status as a boolean (TRUE,FALSE)

OMG, you will drive people insane with that logic

Code: Select all

${If[!${Spawn[gm]},FALSE,TRUE]}

Why negate it then reverse the resullts? Try:

Code: Select all

${If[${Spawn[gm]},TRUE, FALSE]}

Edit: Corrected spelling error, because I was driven INSANE!

Because I like exclamation points and driving people crazy :)

and because of a logic error, I kept getting NULL when I tried to do it the other way, but this way worked for me. :)

... because one way you will get this:

${If[Brenlo,TRUE,FALSE]} and the parser will be like .. what the FUCK do i do with "Brenlo" ..

here is the correct way to do this
{3011, "${If[${Spawn[gm].ID},TRUE,FALSE]}"},

please just wait for the damn zip and stop using the posted offsets when we have updates coming

Edit: fixed typo

Ok, what's the {3011 for? I haven't seen that used in other places yet.

${If[Spawn[gm].ID,TRUE,FALSE]}

...returns NULL every time. Exact cut and paste from Lax's post went into the UI file using 9999...

hah oops typo

${If[${Spawn[gm].ID},TRUE,FALSE]}

My bad

I can't believe I didn't notice that myself... *sigh*
