* Other mafia datatypes (effects, familiars, items, stats and skills) all return true.  Note that for these datatypes, to_int([none]) returns -1.|

Function Syntax

boolean to_boolean( any anything)

  • anything is any basic data type that KoLmafia uses

Datatype behaviour: This function converts the supplied datatype to a boolean value. For strings, this means that it will return false for everything except "true". For all other datatypes, it returns to_int(anything) != 0. More details:

  • As indicated, integers return true for anything except 0, even negative values.
  • floats return true for anything except -1.0 to 1.0 (not inclusive). This is because to_int(float) truncates the float.
