Function to distinguish party from raid?

[indoviet]

Hi,
I've scoured the WoW API for a function that can return whether the player is in a party or a raid but can't seem to find one that does the job. Is there a function specifically designated for this or another way to check this?

Thanks!

UnitInRaid("player"), IsInRaid()
UnitInParty, IsInGroup

Thanks heaps, I don't know why I couldn't find those.

Just a note that IsInGroup() returns true for both party and raid.

A typical check is

if IsInRaid() then
  -- we're in a raid
elseif IsInGroup() then
  -- we're not in a raid but we are in a group, hence party
end

Similarly GetNumGroupMembers() always returns the size of the widest group the player belongs to (raid members if in raid, party members if in party)
while GetNumSubGroupMembers() always returns the size of the narrowest group the player belongs to (Group2 members if player is in G2 in a raid, party members if in a party)

Great tip, thanks a a lot.

This is probably trivial and superfluous information now but here is also some kind of truth table to compare against

.                      solo     party(5)  raid(25)
 
IsInRaid               false    false     true
IsInGroup              false    true      true
 
GetNumGroupMembers     0        5         25
GetNumSubgroupMembers  0        4         4
 
UnitInRaid("player")   nil      nil       11
UnitInParty("player")  nil      1         1
