%getPcPointer()

Aliases%getPcPointer( ), %getPcPtr( )
Parametersmixed @entity

    Returns a PC mobile pointer for the given entity parameter or null on
    failure. If @entity is set to a PC mobile pointer then it is checked for
    validity and returned if valid. Alternatively if @entity contains a
    keyword (players can't have more than one) then a pointer to the first PC
    mobile matching the keyword is returned.

    Unlike %getNpcPointer() and %getMobPointer() this function is safe to use
    with a keyword since the match is completely unambiguous. Additionally
    unlike the other pointer functions this function does an exact match on
    the keyword and will not return a partial match.

    Examples:
    
        @pc = %getPcPointer( %getSavedVar( @self, "master" ) )
