CATI

From Creatures Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

CATI is a C3 CAOS command which returns the category id for the given classifier. The catalogue tag "Agent Classifiers" specifies these, and you can have more than 40. They are tested in order until the first match is found. -1 is always returned if none match. Agents can override their classifier category with CATO.

The syntax is CATI (integer) family (integer) genus (integer) species (integer)

It is used in the agent help function to make objects 'shout their name' to creatures when left-clicked on, and in the ettin muscle paralyser function to identify on a timed basis if ettins are carrying gadgets.
