Core.creature_conditions.configuredID

Call as

Core.creature_conditions.configuredID(key)

Record the dependency Core.creature_conditions.configuredID, then call it by that name. A namespaced call does not pass self: use a colon call or pass the object yourself.

What it does

Maps a stored CREATURE condition key to its numeric creature type, from BEAST (1) to GAS_CLUUD (13). GAS_CLUUD is the stored key's existing spelling, kept on purpose; any other key returns nil.

Arguments

Name	Type	What it does
`key`	`string`	Stored creature type key, such as "UNDEAD".

Returns

1	`number \| nil`	Creature type number, or nil for an unknown key.

Editions

Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.

It reads no game API directly.

How the addon calls it

Core.creature_conditions.GetConditionCreatureTypeMatch
```
local expected=configuredID(key)
```
