Mugen has unofficial base trait identifiers by Messatsu, that some character uses. In simple terms, these are blank animations, by the presence of which, you can determine certain character traits. Here the animation number and the corresponding trait:

Race: (pick multiple) uses US census list. don't complain about how limited it is until you, I or Messatsu can find a comprehensive list (this proves rather difficult): 8055200 - White 8055201 - African 8055202 - Chinese 8055203 - American Indian 8055204 - Japanese 8055205 - Filipino 8055206 - Indian 8055207 - Korean 8055208 - Hawaiian 8055209 - Vietnamese 8055210 - Guamanian 8055211 - Samoan 8055212 - Latino

I would like official support for this system in Ikemen Go with the ability to specify this information in the def file and the corresponding triggers that understand it. E.g. in def file you prescribe: Gender = male

Then corresponding trigger enemy,getidentifier(gender) will return 1. Etc...

Optionally, these triggers can support detection by animation method. E. g. if character have 8055000 and 8055001 animations, then enemy,getidentifier(gender) will return 1 also.

Can't these, and virtually anything else you might want identified, be handled through Maps?

This trigger looks like it would fit, but I'd like a consistent standard at least in terms of gender.

[potsmugen]

We don't need official support for those I think. People already have the tools to make them on their own.

Not everyone knows that such opportunities exist at all. On the other hand, a special column in the def or cns file will clearly show that such opportunities exist. It will be more user-friendly.

[lovelydumpling]

To do anything with that information would require a sufficiently advanced knowledge of character code anyway. Simply adding some gender flag doesn't do anything unless characters are designed specifically to interact with them in some way. There isn't a reason to make it a hardcoded option in engine.

[Kiwi1444]

Wouldn't it be cool that as many characters as possible would have special intros, victory phrases, or even special moves(!) that triggered by age or gender? All we need for this to work is for as many characters as possible to provide this information. My character BTW already have special intro and victory phrases dependent from opponent gender.
