Gender in Mirage - Almost solved :(

[Zamin]

Hello,

If your reading this, that means you opened my topic and agreed to help me. So thanks, before we even begin. :)

OK, I installed unnown's gender edits, both of them:
http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,31620.0.html
http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,31622.0.html

Those work fine, props to unnown. Now what I want to do is when I roll my mouse over an equipment, along with all the information, I want it to list which gender can equip the equipment. A picture will give a better idea:

As you can see in the image, in the 'Requirements' category, there is aditional information. 'Gender: Male'. Basically what I want to do (also refer to pic again) is using unnown's edit, display the gender of the equipment.

So what have I done? I added the gender lable (called: descGender) in frmMirage right under Speed:

Also, from what I understand (and i'm normally wrong). The code must go under
```
Private Sub picInv_MouseMove
```under the line
```
desc.Caption = Trim$(Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, d + 1)).desc)
```
The code that I came up with (which DOES NOT work) is:
```
'Gender
Dim gen
If Item(ItemNum).Gender = 1 Then
    gen = "Male"
ElseIf Item(ItemNum).Gender = 2 Then
    gen = "Female"
End If
descGender.Caption = gen

```
When I compile, I get an error that 'ItemNum' does not exist.

Please help me on this. I need a working script. I think I am on the right track. No?

If you read the entire post and are unable to help me, thanks for taking your time. If you are about to post, I hope your right.

-Thanks again

change all the

Item(ItemNum).Gender

to

Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, d + 1)).gender

and tell m what happens

Hello,

OK. 1 step closer. The cleint compiled into exe and I ran the game. When i roll the mouse over, it doesn't show me anything in the Gender bar. Not even the term 'Gender' which I made on the menu.

Perhaps I did something wrong while making the gender lable? But I think i know how to make a lable, lol. I made sure that it's called descGender so I it's not the lable. :(

-Thanks

[kris_hole]

dim gen as string

[Zamin]

Nope, still the same problem :(

EDIT: This is what it gives me:

[kris_hole]

before then if gender = 1 then stuff

just before that

go msgbox(item(blah).gender)

tell me what it says? if you have a males then it may say 0 not 1

It highlights 'blah' and says
Variable not found.

I am sure male=1 and female=2 becuase unnown coded it like that. For sure.

[kris_hole]

okay replace item(blah).gender with Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, d + 1)).gender
:P

[Zamin]

It gives me this error while it highlights '.Gender'
```
Compile error:
Expected Sub, Function, of Property

```
Do you want me to put sub before 'Item….'?

EDIT: Adding sub/function before 'Item...' doesn't work

[kris_hole]

sub?

post what you got the code so far XD

[Zamin]

'Gender
        Dim gen As String
        Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, d + 1)).Gender
        If Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, d + 1)).Gender = 1 Then
            gen = "Male"
        ElseIf Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, d + 1)).Gender = 2 Then
            gen = "Female"
        End If
        descGender.Caption = gen

sorry, didn't indent properly

[kris_hole]

```

EDIT: LOL, my bad. I deleted 'msgbox'

[Zamin]

OK, I checked, It prompts me '0'

Sry for dble post.

Note that I have two weapons, a sword and a dagger. Male can wear sword, and only female can wear dagger. It gave me '0' for both items. This means that this '0' represents the sprite (or whatever) gender, not weapon gender. Right?

[kris_hole]

so male = 0 and female = 1, just change it from  1 to 2, and 0 to 1

Ok, as mentioned above, I have two items. 1 fit for male only and 1 fit for female only.

It worked, but when I scroll my mouse, it gives me 'Male' for both. I am not good in scripting for sure, but for sure I think that this is checking the character gender, not weapon gender.

[SawQuart]

Whats wrong with gays!?

[Zamin]

LOL! Please! If you can help then please tell me how. This stupid thing is so stupid. I just need to fix one line, and thats it. lol. Unnown's code is so complicated.

[SawQuart]

You could just make a gender skill right? Wouldnt that be much easier? You improve it by being married for certain amounts of time.

No no no, this has nothign to do with getting married xD. Not right now at least. I installed both of unnown's scripts, listed on top post. His posts allows you to have a gender system which actually works and then weapons with gender restrictions.

So now the problem is that I am trying to list what gender this equipment can wear in the Requirements Menu. You know what you scroll your mouse over an item and you get its stats. Well, I just want to add in that stat menu that which gender can equip this item.

If too confusing, I posted in main post with images and stuff.

Please help, very desperate :(
-Thanks in advance

[SawQuart]

Dont you use:

getplayergender instead of player gender? I'm new to sadscript so IDK for sure…

[Zamin]

Yes, thats the problem, getplayergender will get the player's gender. But I want the gender for the weapon, which is different. This is what unnown coded. I just hope he comes online and gives me a hand with this.

[Kimimaru]

I saw that Male was equal to 1 and Female was equal to 2 on unnown's topic.

[Zamin]

@Kimimaru:

> I saw that Male was equal to 1 and Female was equal to 2 on unnown's topic.

Yes, thats what i'm trying to get. But I can't find the command to call those saved values. I know they are being used in the client side in the frmItemeditor, but I dunno how to get it to Mirage and use it. If this makes any sense at all.

[kris_hole]

hmm… did you change the 1's ans 2's to 0 and 1, like 0 = male and 1 = female, thats how sex works in eclipse, not 1 and 2 but 0 and 1.

so like

```
'Gender
Dim gen
If Item(ItemNum).Gender = 0 Then
    gen = "Male"
ElseIf Item(ItemNum).Gender = 1 Then
    gen = "Female"
End If
descGender.Caption = gen

```
