If actor.name then... Problem... :D

[Toshi]

I want to make a lil cheat for my game, so I've got a problem:
Can somebody tell me how to check the actors name?
Something like:
"if actor.name = Oburi then
print "Hello world"
end if"

Thanks 4 reading and helping.

it depends on where you're calling it from. it could be
actor.name
@actor.name
actors[0].name
etc...

If you're calling it from an event, it would be
$game_actors[n].name # n is the database actor id
or
$game_party.actors[n].name # n is the position in the party starting with 0

also in your example you have: Oburi, you need "Oburi" so it compares to a string not looks for a variable.

You mean "looks for a constant"

Can someone maybe tell me decent rgss tutorials and class-/method overviews?
I'm normaly a vb.net coder, just doing my first steps in rgss and it's a lil bit hard to figure out all the little differences... :D

If you can stand the nauseating propaganda included, this is a decent reference:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/
(at least compared to what tutorials RM community writes)
