Is there a way to fetch job info?

[YQL-Skorpion]

Is there a job analogue of data.ShortName? In particular I'm thinking about writing a few role-partner flex triggers, so it'd be extremely helpful if I can define a trigger based on whether conditions like ['SMN', 'BLM', 'RDM'].includes(job_from_matches_target) evaluate to true, signaling whether I flex for my caster. Sorry in advance if the answer is somewhere in documentation but I failed to find it.

data.job, from job.d.ts might give you what you're looking for.

It seems that data.job returns my job regardless; for example below is a test code used on o7n/s prey:

{
        id: 'O7S Prey',
        type: 'HeadMarker',
        netRegex: { id: '001E' },
        alarmText: (data, matches, output) => {
          let preyName = data.ShortName(matches.target); /* does its job correctly */
          let preyJob = data.job; /* always outputs my job */
          return output.text({ name: preyName, job: preyJob });
        },
        outputStrings: {
          text: {
            en: 'Prey: ${name} (on job ${job})',
          },
        },
},

There is no simple way to do this but it's doable.

you can use data.party to get all player info in your party。

you can find details here

https://github.com/quisquous/cactbot/blob/main/types/data.d.ts#L26

and here

https://github.com/quisquous/cactbot/blob/main/resources/party.ts#L17

I'm doing something like this:

(It's typescript)

{
  ...
  run(data) {
    if (data.nameToJobID === undefined) {
      data.nameToJobID = Object.fromEntries(data.party.details.map((v) => [v.name, v.job]));
    }
  ...
  }
}

data.ShortName return an alias, not job info.

But you can use this script to make it return job name ( or maybe you already have but you don't know )

(not a good idea)

I greatly appreciate the help.

Using the references (in particular data.party) I ended up writing something like this, and I think it's working so far!

{
   ...
   let preyName = data.ShortName(matches.target);
   var preyJob = '';
   data.party.details.forEach((p) =>
      { if (p.name === matches.target) preyJob = data.party.jobName(p.name); } );
   return output.text({ name: preyName, job: preyJob });
}

and as we are discussing this, I think we could add a method (like data.info(name: string) -> null | PlayerInfo{ jobID: job; ... } for team player to get info of player @quisquous

Is this just data.party.jobName(name: string)?

maybe return a object with job id and job name and role？
