How do you retrieve information from check boxes. I know its winget(src, "Window.Checkbox" , "is-checked") but how to use that say in a if()?

Example -
mob
    var
        sex
    verb
        Checker()
            if(winget(usr, "Male1", "is-checked=true"))
                usr.sex="Male"
                usr<<"[usr.sex]"
            if(winget(usr, "Female1", "is-checked=true "))
                usr.sex="Female"
                usr<<"[usr.sex]"


That always returns as Male, regardless of which is checked.

Don't put the =true in your winget() call. winget() is retrieving the value of is-checked directly, which will be "true" or "false".

The way to test for whether it's checked is:

if(winget(usr, "Male1", "is-checked") == "true")


With the new winget syntax you should be able to check on both at once and save a little time.

var/list/form
form = params2list(winget(usr, "Male1;Female1", "is-checked"))
if(form["Male"] == "true")
  ...
else if(form["Female"] == "true")
  ...
