Doif I'm pretending to be?

Is it valid to make a doif statement that checks if the cato is set to 'portal' before stimming a creature with the portal-associated stims?

doif cato eq 34
stim writ from 27 1

According to the docs is CATO a command that has to stand alone.

The CAOS Documentation wrote:
CATO (command) category (integer)
Change the target's category to the one specified. The default is -1 which means the category is based on classifier and the catalogue as described in CATI. See also CATX and CATA.

In case your TARG is still the agent whose category you wanna check, you can use CATA instead.

The CAOS Documentation wrote:
CATA (integer)
Returns the target's category. This either depends on its classifier as described in CATI, or is its own individual override set with CATO.

I suppose if you needed to differentiate, you could check its GNUS too.

The short answer is:
In your example, you'd need CATA. CATA will tell you the CATO the object has been set to.

Hi everyone!

MK-Grendel has let me make an update for the Torii.

When you use the Torii changer in the 1.1 version, no matter what the Torii looks like to the creatures, it will always feel like a door.

With this small update (which I have called 1.15), when the Torii is pretending to be a portal, it will feel like a portal to the creatures. When the Torii is pretending to be a button, it will feel like a button to the creatures, etc, etc.

I hope everyone enjoys it!

Download the Torii 1.15
