How to check for a weapon's group?

(1/1)

SPTX:
I tried using

--- Code: ---if player.eq.weapon.group == "weapon-melee"
--- End code ---
But does the following error

--- Code: ---Unknown property "group" requested on object of type TItem!
--- End code ---

Why is that so? the property works when creating a new weapon, it's also there using the table logger from there, so it definitely exists. I am really confused.

That's on prototypes, not items themselves.  The way to access it is items[item_id].group

I don't know why it isn't be exposed as a read-only item property but it's not. I just mod here.

SPTX:
I don't understand what you mean by "items[item_id].group".
Not to mention that I need to compare my equipped item to a particular group. ie : if the player has a shotgun or a melee weapon equipped, function doesn't happen.
I really need to do it from the equipped weapon.

yaflhdztioxo:
The weapon will have an item ID.

items[ self.eq.weapon.id ].group

SPTX:
And and I was going to use variables... stupid me.
