rswiki-book/Class-Check.mediawiki

The class check originated with the new Runescape engine update which took place around the 4xx revisions. It gives the Jagex servers the ability to check the modifiers, update, or fetch the value for a field. It also gives functionality to invoke a method with parameters and get it's return value, or check it's modifiers. Each of these functionalities are described with a request type. A class check request is built up with many of these request types. Each request is tagged with an unique id.

== Structure ==

 +---------------------+
 | uid : dword         |
 +---------------------+----------------------+------------------------+
 | for each request    | response code : byte | type dependent data... |
 +---------------------+----------------------+------------------------+
 | payload crc : dword |
 +---------------------+

== Request Types ==

For request types 0, 2, 4 there will only be one successful response code and a dword value of the value being requested will be sent. For request type 1, only the successful response code will be used but no value will be sent back.

|-
! 3
! Invoke Method

== Return Codes ==

All the return codes are in descending priority by numerical order. For opcode 0, there are cases where a numeric value is sent to the server on fetch requests. This value is always a dword. For a method invoke request, there isn't a value that is sent to the server. It is just assumed that there wasn't a return object from the invoked method.
