Format
astype(Val,Type)astype(Val)
Returns
Val if Val is derived from Type; null otherwise.
Args
Val: An object instance.Type: An object prototype or instance. If no type is specified, it will be implied (see below).
Forcibly casts an object to a type, returning null if it isn’t valid.
astype(gift, /obj/potion)?.Drink()Similarly to istype(), the type can be implied. The implied type is determined as follows:
// if obstacle is of type /obj/box, it will be assigned to B; otherwise B is null
var/obj/box/B = astype(obstacle)
if(B?.closed) B.Open()
// B is assigned no matter what, but astype() will return null if it isn't an /obj/box
B = obstacle
if(astype(B)?.closed) B.Open()
