Getting Arbitrary Player Battler #N's Name

[Sodon]

I'm trying to use the Force Action event to have a character attack three times in one turn. However, I only want one character to be able to do this... Say, George. George could be in slot 2, 3, or 4 in the player's party... But Force Action only lets you pick by slot #. I figure the best way to do this is a conditional that tests to see which actor is named "George" and then attack with that actor...

So basically I was wondering how to do that with a script in the conditional statement (game_actor1.name == 'george' [or something]). Or, if you have a better idea how I might do this...

The idea is a triple attack, but I want it to look like George is really attacking with his equipped weapon three times (not just a skill with 300% attack power...)

Thanks!

This is how I'm doing it... I'm not so sure that it'll work yet if the battler spots are switched, but I'm guessing that all you have to do is put the following script into a call script in a common event. It should work... # = The ID of the character in the database.

@var = $game_actors[#].index
iterate_battler(1, @var) do |battler|
ca = battler.current_action
ca.kind = 0
ca.basic = 0
ca.decide_random_target_for_actor
battler.current_action.forcing = true
$game_temp.forcing_battler = battler
@index += 1
return false
end

If you want the player to attack thrice, all you have to do is duplicate the call script twice.

EDIT::: The script tested... It works.

Thanks! I don't have time to try it out right now, but I think I will end up having one question. Does anything need to be changed to suit George? Or will this just work if I put it by itself in a common event which his spell will call?
