%buffGetByLabel()

Aliases%buffGetByLabel( )
Parametersentity @entity, string @label

    This function can be used to retrieve a specific buff pointer from an
    object or mobile @entity via a defined label. If the @label parameter is
    empty then a pointer to the first unlabeled buff will be returned.

    Example:

        //
        // Presumably a buff with the label "powerCharge" was defined for
        // the object via the web editor (alternatively it could have been
        // assigned via the ->label resolution on a buff pointer.
        //

        if( %isEquippedItem( %getOwner( @this ), @this ) )
        {
            @timer = %getPlayerVar( @this, "powerChargeTimer" )
            @timer -= 1

            @buff = %buffGetByLabel( @this, "powerCharge" )

            if( @timer < 10 )
            {
                @buff->modifier = 10
            }
            elseif( @timer < 1 )
            {
                @buff->modifier = 0
                @timer = 40
            }

            %setPlayerVar( @this, "powerChargeTimer", @timer )
        }
        endif
