call a common event?

[xgamexfreakx]

so, I have a quick question. How do you check the actors class with a script. I'm just trying to use it in a conditional branch for something I working on. I've tried a couple of things based around this:

$game_actor_class_id = 'swordsman'

but that didn't seem to work. It should be something along these lines, right?

New question: How do you call a common event with a script?

if $game_actors[actor_id].class_id == x

where "actor_id" is the number of the actor, and "x" is the number of the class (both from the database)

or

if $game_party.actors[actor_id].class_id == x

where actor_id is the number of the actor in the party

Thanks for this! It worked out!

EDIT: okay, so that worked, now I have one more question. How do you call a common event in a script? I'm pretty sure its simple though...thanks!
