CHECK_ENTITY_TYPE

Checks whether a character entity is currently the given entity_type.

This action is useful because you can check entity types by name, which is easy and convenient (e.g. check if the entity "Delmar" is the type old_man). Otherwise you'd have to use a mix of CHECK_ENTITY_PRIMARY_ID and CHECK_ENTITY_PRIMARY_ID_TYPE and also know in advance which ints you're checking for.

Examples

script {
  if entity "Entity Name" type is old_man then goto successScript;
  if entity "Entity Name" type is old_man then goto index 12;
  if entity "Entity Name" type is old_man then goto label labelName;
  if entity "Entity Name" type is not old_man then goto successScript;
  if entity "Entity Name" type is not old_man then goto index 12;
  if entity "Entity Name" type is not old_man then goto label labelName;
}
