HIST COUN is a CAOS command that returns the number of life events for a creature with a given moniker.
Usage[edit]
Syntax: HIST COUN moniker(str)
Returns 0 if there are no life events or the moniker doesn't exist. Otherwise, returns the number of life events experienced by the creature with moniker.
Example[edit]
The Creature History uses it to find the last life event of creatures who are no longer alive but have not gained a death event for whatever reason, in order to retrieve their last known age:
*where ov01 is the moniker of the selected creature * death event age if there is one setv va03 hist finr ov01 7 -1 doif va03 = -1 * last event otherwise setv va03 hist coun ov01 subv va03 1 endi setv va01 hist tage ov01 va03 setv va10 hist cage ov01 va03
