How to get player affiliation?

Brrrr, problem is to found player affilation of player who destroyed dockable base, i mean…:

[player]
…
house = 0, fc_maquis_grp
house = -0.3, fc_corse_grp
house = -0.3, fc_brigands_grp
…
rep_group = fc_freelancer ; <-- this string
…

for example to show in event mode:

basedestroy basename=Li01_08_Base basehash=3197728322 solarhash=2810150415 by=Poupkine with affilation=fc_freelancer

So at server side function to get affilation gives always 0?

Players never have an affiliation, only npcs do AFAIR.

via flak flhook you can though make a faction’s name appear in front of your nick as if you were affiliated with the faction.

A player has an affiliation if he has a rep_group assigned.
That’s a FL feature, not a FLHook one.

I mean that from how FL works internally, players never have an affiliation. Of course they can have a rep-group, but they wont have an affiliation as regards the reputation methods and so on (-> get-affiliation always returning 0). Correct me if Im wrong.

It’s true that it doesn’t seem to work with pub::Reputation::GetAffiliation.

Reputation::Vibe::GetAffiliation(iPlayerRep, iAff, false);

will work for players too. iAff contains the id of the player’s rep_group.

Ah, good to know!

yes very… i always thought it was set via the NewCharacter.ini & linked into “co_ic_grp” & its reputations in empathy.ini

so… that’s SP only im reading here? For MP its set differently… especially when hook is involved. im very intrigued…

Nope, the code I’ve posted is working fine server side.

And how to get tsNick to be printed?

TString<16> tsNick;
Reputation::get_nickname(tsNick, iAff);
