    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/checknodetype ", true, 15))
    {
        new nodeid = strval(cmdtext[15]);

        if (nodeid < 0 || nodeid > 63)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid node ID. Must be between 0 and 63.");

        new nodetype = NPC_GetNodeType(nodeid);

        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "Node %d type: %d", nodeid, nodetype);
        return 1;
    }
