How do I check if target player is ghost?

[neahxx]

Hello fellow modders and DST players,

I'm looking to check if a targeted player is a ghost. This is for a resurrection ability on a healing cane I'm working on.

I'd be thankful for any advice!

I've been using this to check if people are dead.

if self.inst.components.age and self.inst.components.age.last_pause_time then

Thanks, I'll try that out. Then update this comment with the results.

Cool  I'd like to know if there's a better way as well.

Or you could just check if they have the "playerghost" tag.

Alternatively theres also inst.components.health:IsDead()

That sounds like a more efficient way indeed. Thanks, I'll try it.

Edit: Example of how to check if player is ghost. In this case using target as player.

if target:HasTag("playerghost") then

"Stuff here"

end
