Determining the current GTA V protagonist character in Story Mode

[Jupiter_Hortenzievich]

I currently started scripting GTA 5, and I don't know, how to get the current character.

I'm not interested in getting the online character, I only need to determine, whether we are currently playing as Michael, Franklin, or Trevor.

I'm currently using the following script to get the current character:

 

Spoiler

GET_NUMBER_OF_DRAWABLE_VARIATIONS(PLAYER_PED_ID(), 6) // This will get the number of available shoe/feet styles

// Returns 22 for Michael, 20 for Franklin, and 21 for Trevor

// This determines the current player

 

I'd like to know, what is the most professional way of getting the current story-mode single player character, apart from this, and memory hacking. What mission scripting native function do they use for this in original GTA 5 mission script?

 

Thanks
