Currently, as specified on the wiki, Citizens allows one to check whether an entity is an NPC using metadata:
https://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/API#Checking_if_an_entity_is_a_Citizens_NPC

Is something similar, either using the metadata, PDC or NBT available? Thank you!

API

Citizens has an extensive API for working with NPCs. Make sure you always are using an up-to-date build of the CitizensAPI to ensure that your plugin works with the latest release of Citizens.

In a plugin

#

so you want the ID but you don't want to use the API?

#

I'm confused

#

If it's possible to do without the api (similar to how the spigots metadata is just there), then I would prefer to do so without it

#

how would that be helpful

No, don't think it's possible - but why don't you want to use the API?

The plugin I'm making has conditions similar to those of MythicMobs. For context:
https://tooltips.gitbook.io/tooltips/configuration/preset/conditions

If there was a method to, for example, extract the ID information about the entity without using an API, then there wouldn't be a need for an extra special lookingatcitizen condition and instead could be done inside an NBT or metadata condition.

#

But if it's not visible / stored anywhere outside of the Citizens plugin, then no problem. Thank you
