I've been trying to use the following line in a SLIC file

if (player[0].govttype == "GOVERNMENT_MONARCHY") {

According to the SLIC Built in variable type page on this site player.govttype should be available but when I add this line to my code (along with the correctly placed } ) and load the scenario I crash with a syntax error message for that line.

I also tried

if (player[0].govttype == "Monarchy") {

with the same error.

I think I need to have something like

tmpGovtype = player[0].govttype;
if (tmpGovtype == "Monarchy") {

tmpGovtype = player[0].govttype;
tmpGovtype2 = "Monarchy";
if (tmpGovtype == tmpGovtype2) {

but I don't know how to declare a string variable in SLIC. I looked though a lot of files but didn't see any used. Maybe I missed it, you can't do it, or there is another way to do this.

Please help if you can! Thanks.
