Returns the player's social preference flags (anonymous, hidden, always form private groups, …).<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
flags = GetSocialPreferenceData()<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
;flags : <code>table</code> – Eight booleans keyed 0–7, one per preference bit.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* The keys start at 0, not 1, so <code>ipairs</code> skips the first flag. Index the table directly.<br />
* The stock UI uses these keys (from <code>SocialWindowTabOptions</code>): 0 <code>FLAG_ANONYMOUS</code>, 1 <code>FLAG_HIDDEN</code>, 7 <code>FLAG_ALWAYSFORMPRIVATEGRP</code>. The other bits are not used by the stock UI.<br />
* The flags are the client's copy; the function does not contact the server. The stock UI changes the private party flag by sending the chat command <code>/togglealwaysformprivate</code> with [[API:SendChatText|SendChatText]].<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
From <code>default/ea_socialwindow/source/socialwindowtaboptions.lua</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
local socialPreferenceData = GetSocialPreferenceData()<br />
if( socialPreferenceData ~= nil ) then<br />
-- Set the Anonymous Flag<br />
ButtonSetPressedFlag( "SocialWindowTabOptionsAnonymousPreference", socialPreferenceData[SocialWindowTabOptions.FLAG_ANONYMOUS])<br />
-- Set the Hidden Flag<br />
ButtonSetPressedFlag( "SocialWindowTabOptionsHiddenPreference", socialPreferenceData[SocialWindowTabOptions.FLAG_HIDDEN])<br />
-- Set the Private Party Flag<br />
ButtonSetPressedFlag( "SocialWindowTabOptionsPrivatePartyPreference", socialPreferenceData[SocialWindowTabOptions.FLAG_ALWAYSFORMPRIVATEGRP])<br />
end<br />
