I'm sure I've seen this in other callouts, but cant for the life of me figure it out. Is there a way somehow to get the particulars of a ped you've spawned, such as name/gender/etc?

Persona Data

Persona pedPersona = API.Functions.GetPersonaForPed(Game.LocalPlayer.Character, null);
Game.DisplayNotification(String.Format("My name is {0} and I am a {1}, born on {2}.", pedPersona.FullName, pedPersona.Gender.ToString().ToLower(), pedPersona.BirthDay.ToShortDateString()));

Used in conjunction with Game.DisplayNotifiction as shown above, This example might produce the following output:

My name is Will Peavey and I am a male, born on 16/01/1991

 

Aha, thanks! Couldn't find it as Persona doesnt exist within the api itself, I had to reference LSPD_First_Response.Engine.Scripting.Entities. I've read elsewhere that this is frowned upon and will be removed in future versions, hopefully they'll move Persona to Mod.API at the same time.

Correct, I would recommend that you avoid using anything that is outside of the Mod.API namespace as it will all eventually be made internal and thus prevent you from accessing it. You'll then have to re-write code for things you're making. It's easier to just not bother for the time being and extend when it's available in the API.

And don't forget to check out the github for common and useful code snippets that have been given to you by the keen developers.

I'm trying to do 

Persona pedPersona = API.Functions.GetPersonaForPed(Game.LocalPlayer.Character, null);

but I get a squiggly on the API portion. Do I have the wrong reference added or is this obsolete as of the new Rage?

Ped human = new Ped(spawn);

 Persona persona = Functions.GetPersonaForPed(human);

try dat.

Which namespaces have you imported at the top with the using keyword?

Try changing it to LSPD_First_Response.Mod.API, or you can keep it as-is, and insert "using LSPD_First_Response.Mod;" at the top of your class file.

If you hover your mouse over the squiggly line on API (or look at the Error List window), Visual Studio will tell you what's wrong. Either it doesn't know what API is (because LSPD_First_Response.Mod is not imported), or you have two references that both have an API namespace, and it doesn't know which one to use.

@Stealth22 Wait, im personally using  engine.scripting.entities..

Am I supposed to be using something else for personas?

You need that namespace for the Persona class, but you also need to import LSPD_First_Response.Mod in order to access the API.Functions.GetPersonaForPed function.

Either that, or change that line to LSPD_First_Response.Mod.API.Functions.GetPersonaForPed

Okay good, just checking.
